Our view of the service
Date of assessment: 26 to 27 April 2024. Brainkind Neurological Centre, York provides inpatient services for people with an acquired brain injury, which we rated as Good. Brainkind Neurological Centre, York is a neurobehavioural hospital service for men and women over the age of 18 years, who have an acquired brain injury. The service is a part of the Brainkind charity, which provides rehabilitation and support to people following a brain injury. We carried out an on-site inspection on 9 and 10 December 2024, and reviewed data related to the service. At the time of the last inspection in January 2022, the centre was located at York House Independent Hospital, part of The Disabilities Trust and was rated Good. Since this time the service has changed its name and re-located to a new purpose-built hospital, to which people using the service were relocated on 13 February 2024. We assessed the service to ensure that people’s needs were being met. As part of this inspection, we piloted an enhanced approach to assessing the culture of the service. This involved using extended observations and conversations with people using the service, and we focused on specific aspects of the single assessment framework.
