who do we care for?

Who would benefit from coming to Burrswood hospital?

Burrswood Hospital, on the Kent/Sussex border, offers the ideal environment and therapeutic approach for:

• Post-operative recovery: the availability of a medical team day and night ensures immediate intervention should complications occur
• Rehabilitation: programmes are designed to maximise recovery, including for those with neurological conditions
• Respite care: patients with physical disability receive focused therapies to help them live more fully despite their difficulties
• Convalescence or step-down care: treatment is offered following major illness to maximise recovery prior to transfer home
• Palliative and end of life care: expert symptom control and spiritual care is offered to those with progressive and debilitating disease, who can rest safe in the knowledge that the bed is there for as long as it is needed
• Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME): our team has seen many lives changed through an individual programme of treatment and care
• Certain acute illnesses: An integrated and caring whole-person approach is offered with intravenous therapies, transfusions and acute interventions as required. 
• Counselling: we help to find solutions for a range of psychological and emotional problems which are amenable to short-term intensive counselling in a supportive environment, including anxiety, depression, stress and trauma 
  

Rather than offering a bed price within the Hospital, we offer a range of ‘care packages’.  Our charges are considerably less than those of other private hospitals and include all costs associated with accommodation and meals, medical and nursing care (including dressings), basic laundry and most special diets.  Most care packages also include physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, as appropriate, and counselling, as required.

Burrswood hospital has comfortable yet clinically efficient rooms. These include twin rooms where a spouse or close relative can stay alongside the patient.  Relatives are welcome to visit at any time.
