A message from our CEO

One pathway. One point of contact. One consistent clinical record from beginning to end.

Over the last thirty years, Active Care Group has grown into the UK’s most comprehensive specialist care network, with Active Neuro at the heart of our neurological rehabilitation services, supporting patients with some of the most complex brain, spinal, and stroke conditions in the country.

What I am most proud of is not simply the scale of what we have built, but how our integrated services work together in a seamless pathway for the patients in our care, their families, and the professionals supporting them.

Active Neuro operates the UK’s only two Level 1 neuro hospitals in the independent sector, which alongside our network of specialist Level 2 facilities provide the highest level of specialist neurological rehabilitation for patients with the most complex needs. Our inpatient services work seamlessly with our complex domiciliary care division, Active Assistance, and our expanding suite of outpatient therapy hubs to support integrated step-down following inpatient treatment.

We place our patients and clients at the very heart of everything we do and have built our services and care models accordingly. We strongly believe that no person should need to tell their story twice, and have designed our care pathway to eliminate the disruption of moving from care provider to care provider as individuals transition through their care journey.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss how we at the Active Care Group can support you, your client, or your loved one.

One of the few providers able to offer hospital-level neurorehabilitation, including the only two Level 1 neuro hospitals in the independent sector.

Technology and outcomes

Rehabilitation supported by the UK's most advanced rehabilitation technology and measured through structured outcome tools and personalised goals.

04
