Stroke Rehabilitation Centres

We have three Stroke Rehabilitation Centres across North Wales for patients who no longer need specialist stroke treatment at an acute hospital, but still require stroke rehabilitation that cannot be delivered at home.  

The centres are supported by a full range of multidisciplinary specialist staff including Physiotherapists, Nurses, Doctors, Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists in order to ensure patients have the best chance of a good recovery from their stroke. 

The rehabilitation centres are based in each of the Health Board’s Integrated Health Community areas: 

  • West - Ysbyty Eryri in Caernarfon 

  • Central - Llandudno General Hospital 

  • East - Deeside Community Hospital 

Patients are encouraged to engage in activities and exercises designed to promote recovery and independence, including daily self-care tasks, walking and communication and cognitive tasks – all of which are known to enhance the odds of recovery after stroke.  

The centres opened in 2022 and early 2023 to give people who have suffered a stroke maximum opportunity to recover and adapt in the best possible modern environment. 

Specialist integrated community inpatient rehabilitation is provided in a rehabilitation-focused setting in each of the three areas of the Health Board. Although these will be three separate locations they will work closely as an integrated service by area and across North Wales.  

Specialist rehabilitation is widely recognised as an essential part of recovery after stroke, providing significant health and social care benefits for patients over the longer term. 

The centres are supported by a full range of multidisciplinary staff over seven days in order to ensure patients have the best chance of a good recovery from their stroke. This includes a consultant therapist in each unit, responsible for developing and implementing the therapy-based rehabilitation service.
