About Victoria House

Brainkind Victoria House is a purpose-built, long-stay residential home providing 24-hour specialist care and support for people with acquired brain injuries and complex neurological needs.

Our specialist rehabilitation is based on a neuro-behavioural approach. We focus on enabling people to function more independently and develop their lives as they choose. Our programmes include educational and therapeutic sessions; support for personal, social, and domestic skills; guided leisure time; vocational support and training; and access to the local community.

Brainkind Victoria House is equipped with a wide range of facilities to help support the delivery of our expert care. We are situated on the Humber estuary with beautiful views and extensive gardens providing a pleasant environment to aid the people we support in their rehabilitation and recovery.

The people we support are actively involved in reviewing their progress. We promote the active involvement of families in the rehabilitation process, and home leave is encouraged wherever possible.

Whether someone needs assistance with daily tasks, help to improve emotional or social skills, or support to regain their physical independence, our services ensure that life after a brain injury is a life well lived – whatever that means to the people we support.
