The service will provide specialist assessment, treatment, rehabilitation and longer-term support for individuals with complex and enduring neurocognitive needs who may be unable to access more traditional neurorehabilitation services or live safely and independently within the community.

Individuals may present with long‑standing acquired brain injury, cognitive impairment, dementia or other neurodegenerative conditions, sometimes alongside complex physical health needs. Some may also have complex risk histories, including previous offending, and may be subject to Ministry of Justice restrictions.

Afon Las will provide a structured and therapeutic hospital environment in which individual needs and risks can be safely supported. Referrals may be received from a range of pathways, including community, neurosurgical, neurorehabilitation and custodial settings.

Through interdisciplinary working, the service will maximise person‑centred outcomes, physical function, mobility, independence and quality of life, while keeping each individual at the heart of their care and rehabilitation.

The dedicated clinical team will provide interdisciplinary input, including occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy and nursing.
