Rehabilitation Model
Inpatient Rehabilitation — Patients stay in private accommodation while receiving structured daily physiotherapy, equipment-led progression, continuous clinical observation, medication oversight and multidisciplinary coordination. This model bridges the gap between acute hospital care and independent living.
Outpatient Continuation — Following inpatient rehabilitation, patients may continue structured therapy as outpatients, access specialist equipment, undergo reassessment and progression planning, or return for further rehabilitation blocks if required. Following residential care, our Physiotherapy Appointments service provides a natural step-down pathway.
Referral Pathways
NHS Physiotherapy — Requires GP or consultant referral.
California House — No GP referral required for private admission. Patients may self-refer directly. If using private medical insurance, most insurers do not require GP referral; patients should confirm individual policy requirements.
We welcome referrals from consultants, GPs, hospital discharge teams, case managers and private insurers.
