Glenside wins award for level of care

A specialist rehabilitation unit in South Newton for people with brain injuries has been recognised for its standard of care at a grand award ceremony in London on Wednesday 3rd June.

Glenside made the shortlist of the Health Investor Awards in the ‘Residential /Domiciliary Care Group of the Year’ category, which, according to industry experts, makes it one of the best in the country for residential care and all round performance. Health Investor is a leading magazine and website in the Health Care Sector and their annual awards are held in high regard across the industry.

Glenside now provides even more rehabilitation than ever and the staff and patients have embraced the new facilities that the three new building projects have provided since opening in 2008. Almost all the bungalows are now full, four of the five wards are open in the new Hospital and the Horizon Centre holds over 16 group sessions and activities each week.

Denis Barry, proprietor and Managing Director of Glenside said “Recovering from a neurological condition such as a brain injury is made all the better with our new facilities such as the Hospital and the hydrotherapy pool. Teamwork is paramount in any organisation and our staff are the backbone of what we do here every day. This award is dedicated to all the staff for the work they do here at Glenside.”

Professor Nick Bosenquet, one of the panel judges said “Many congratulations to Glenside on this well deserved award. Glenside is getting itself set as one of the key leaders in this very challenging area of care”

Clare Barry, Proprietor and Executive Director of Glenside said “We are delighted to have won the award. Being recognised in this way is overwhelming for all of us”.
