Nursing and Rehabilitation

Timberdine Nursing and Rehabilitation Unit

Awarded Customer Service Excellence Status in recognition of excellent service for the last 3 years.

Recent refurbishment

Timberdine Nursing and Rehabilitation Unit was built in 1977, then refurbished in 1997 and 2011. It is a single storey building with separate living areas, a dedicated Stroke Unit is being built which will have 5 nursing places and 3 residential places. There are also two day centres, including specialist Dementia care.

The reconfiguration of Timberdine is the culmination of a partnership between Worcestershire County Council, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust and NHS Worcestershire. The aim has been to redesign the provision of stroke and rehabilitation services for patients from Worcester, Droitwich and Ombersley.

From 1 August 2011 these new integrated health and social care community resources replaced the rehabilitation services previously provided by the Aconbury Unit at Worcestershire Royal Hospital. Timberdine Nursing and Rehabilitation Unit is a dedicated unit which provides nursing care, residential care and rehabilitation for patients who continue to need 24 hour care and rehabilitation following admission to the acute.

First-hand experience: Stuart's story 

"Twelve and a half hours after being wheeled down to theatre for major surgery to remove a tumour from his spine, Stuart Townsend was finally reunited with his family in a critical care ward in hospital unsure whether the marathon operation he had just endured had left him permanently paralysed. He was understandably groggy and lay still in his bed, unable to feel his legs.

These were the early and understandably challenging first stages of a lengthy and personal journey toward recovery, which would make the 32-year-old father of three the youngest temporary resident of a recently reconfigured Worcestershire County Council run rehabilitation centre in Worcester."
