We offer rehabilitation and care to help those with neurological conditions

Story

Since mum contracted meningitis and suffered injury to her brain, I've been struck how our bodies have been wonderfully made.  I've taken it for granted the complexity of how my body works.  To move my right arm, stand up and speak is an easy task, but for those who have suffered an injury or have neurological conditions it can be more difficult or even impossible to do.

Mum is content in her new home and there is a good buzz around the lounge area where residents meet for chat, activities and meals.  We're thankful for the care that she's receiving. 

The prospect of acquiring more hydrotherapy and physio equipment for the residents has motivated me to endure some 26.2 miles of pain!
