About Graham Anderson House

Graham Anderson House is a specialist neuro-behavioural assessment and post-acute rehabilitation hospital for people with a non-progressive acquired brain injury (ABI).

The service has twenty-four single ensuite bedrooms, a transitional living flat and a four-bedroom step-down Heather Bungalow to further assess the people we supports level of independence.

The people we support initially come to us for a four week assessment period, followed by an eight week rehabilitation plan. Following these eight weeks the rehabilitation is continued based on the persons individualistic needs.

We support people with an acquired brain injury and complex needs such as cognitive, physical and/or emotional difficulties, including physical and verbal aggression, impaired social functioning, and disinhibited behaviour.

Facilities 

We have 24 ensuite bedrooms, the transitional flat and the four bedroom step-down Heather Bungalow each with courtyard or garden views, complemented by spacious communal areas for dining and relaxation. Individuals enjoy access to a wide range of therapeutic and recreational facilities.

Graham Anderson House is located in the heart of Glasgow with excellent links to the city centre, public transport and amenities.

Our rehabilitation models

Our specialist rehabilitation is based on a neuro-behavioural approach and focuses on enabling people to function more independently and develop their lives as they choose. The multi-disciplinary team has specialist assessment and therapy rooms to aid recovery.

Graham Anderson House’s highly skilled staff offer compassionate, specialised care, teaming up with fellow Brainkind staff to support the people we support emotionally and physically. The team includes two Consultant Clinical Psychologists, a Psychiatrist, GPs, Occupational Therapists, a Counsellor, Physiotherapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Team Leaders, Support Workers, Nurses and Therapy Assistants.

Graham Anderson House also has an experienced team of people supporting the day to day running of the service.

The programme may include:

The people we support are actively involved in reviewing their progress against agreed outcomes, and we promote the involvement of families in the rehabilitation process. Home leave is encouraged wherever possible.
