Community Rehabilitation Services
About the Service
Camden REACH provides a wide range of rehabilitation and support services. These services are designed to help you remain independent at home or in a location of your choice within the borough of Camden.
Camden REACH aims to help you in areas that are important to you and which you currently find difficult to manage.
Many of our services are aimed at people who have difficulty accessing outpatient services and who find it easier to be seen in their own home.
If we think we can help you Camden REACH will see you within a certain timeframe depending on your difficulties and the urgency in which you need to be seen.
We aim to work with you, your family and carers to help you feel confident in the tasks that you currently find difficult.
If you feel you need extra support we will discuss this with you and can provide you with the options available to you.
Camden REACH can be involved with your care and rehabilitation if you have recently returned from hospital, suffered an injury, have a new or long-term illness or if you have had a fall. All of these may prevent you from getting on with your day to day routine and you may require help to regain your independence or adapt to your new situation.
