Our focus is on empowering individuals to live meaningful and fulfilling lives, and with our top-tier rehabilitation facilities and a skilled multi-disciplinary team, we’re able to make that happen.

"It’s an honour to be part of the Southampton care community as we embark on this journey.

"At Hamberley Neurocare Southampton, our dedication to excellence and tailored care is reflected in every part of our service.

"From our cutting-edge physiotherapy gym, designed to help individuals achieve their physical rehabilitation goals, to the unwavering compassion of our expert team, we are committed to creating a space where recovery, strength, and renewal thrive."

Hamberley Neurocare Southampton is positioned to support the nearby University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust and the University of Southampton.

Facilities at the centre include therapy and medical consulting rooms, a therapy gym with advanced rehabilitation and technology-assisted equipment, lounges, dining rooms, a cinema, a café bar, and a fully equipped assessment flat.

The flat helps people prepare for independent living or to transition back into the community.

The new Southampton facility will offer rehabilitation, long-term, respite, and palliative care for patients with various conditions.
