Patient Story: Rob’s Story
"I was very delighted about my progress. I liked the fact that I gave my best and improved beyond expectation!"
Rob experienced a hypoxic brain injury following a cardiac arrest, leaving him unable to walk, speak clearly, or care for himself independently. He underwent eight and a half months of intensive rehabilitation at Blackheath, regaining his mobility, speech, and everyday skills with the support of the multi-disciplinary team. Determined throughout his recovery, Rob has since returned home to his family, having made a good recovery beyond his own expectations.
Active Neuro Blackheath London Reviews
I was admitted to Blackheath in a wheelchair following CIDP. The nurses were welcoming and professional, and my physiotherapist worked a miracle getting me walking again. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart.
My husband had a very good experience at Blackheath after two strokes. He made a full recovery — walking, talking and eating perfectly again.
My husband Andy was admitted to Blackheath for a brain haemorrhage. The care and compassion of all the staff was outstanding, and his physiotherapist encouraged him every step of the way. We were blessed to have been sent here.
I went into the centre following a stroke, in a wheelchair and unable to walk or move my arm. I left able to walk and look after myself again. The staff are miracle workers – I couldn’t fault this place. I’m so grateful to have been sent there.
