Hospital Discharge
For people needing a professional, supported step-down before returning home.
What is Rehabilitation Care
A supportive place to rebuild confidence.
Rehabilitation care at Forest Place Nursing Home is for members of our community who have experienced a significant health event — a fall, a stroke, major surgery or a serious illness — and need a supported environment to recover before returning home.
Our approach works alongside Buckhurst Hill-based NHS physiotherapy and local health services. We focus on rebuilding daily living skills while providing the nutritious dining and personal support that aids physical and mental recovery.
- Short-term recovery stays in a welcoming environment
- Personalised recovery planning with a dedicated care team
- Nutritious meals to support physical strength
- Focus on rebuilding daily routines and mobility
