Tŷ Aberdafen | Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT)

Welcome to Tŷ Aberdafen, The BIRT Centre for Wales

Situated in Llanelli, Tŷ Aberdafen has 24 beds and 18 of those have en-suite rooms in the main centre. The Centre also contains two independent living flats and four fully furnished self contained apartments. The Centre forms a part of the UK-wide network of services provided by national charity the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT).

The BIRT Centre for Wales offers a range of high quality assessment and rehabilitation options for people with complex psychological and physical needs following an acquired brain injury (ABI).

These include:

an intensive assessment and rehabilitation service for individuals who may then be discharged home or to a supported living environment in the community
transitional living options so people can maximise their independent living and social skills prior to their return to an environment with less support
Continuing rehabilitation for those who have completed intensive rehabilitation and need to consolidate progress before moving on to the community and / or for those with longer term needs

Individuals may have severe cognitive, physical and / or emotional problems which could include:

Verbal and physical aggression
Impaired social functioning
Disinhibited behaviour
Neuropsychiatric symptoms

It is our goal to enable service users to function as independently as possible, develop their lives as they choose and participate in the wider community.
