Glenside was established by Denis and Clare Barry in 1982 and originally provided dementia care for the elderly in residential homes on the current location in South Newton, near Salisbury.
The transition from elderly care to specialise in neuro rehabilitation services has been a gradual change. It began in response to requests from medical professionals and Primary Care Trusts to accommodate individuals with long-term neurological conditions who were living in Wiltshire and surrounding regions. At this time, the lack of a specialist neurological rehabilitation facility in the Central Southern region meant that patients had no other choice but to be placed elsewhere in the UK, often a long way from home and immediate family.
In 1998 our first brain injury rehabilitation facility (Newlands) opened and Glenside has since grown to offer a complete range of inpatient and outpatient medical care and rehabilitation services to adults who are living with severe physical, cognitive or behavioural impairments resulting from long-term neurological conditions, including acquired or traumatic brain injury.
Dementia Care
The transition from elderly care to specialise in neuro rehabilitation services means that we no longer accept new admissions for dementia care.
Whilst we continue to provide dementia care to existing residents, we are no longer accepting any new referrals to our Limetree facility for dementia care.
Limetree is changing to form part of our neuro behavioural pathway and will provide long-term maintenance rehabilitation for those with progressive neurological conditions who require 24 hour nursing care. It will work in conjunction with Old Vicarage that provides provides slow-stream rehabilitation for patients who continue to exhibit challenging behaviour.
Our Values
• To provide the highest standard of care and rehabilitation services to our patients.
• To reflect the core values of respect, privacy and dignity in all aspects of our work with patients.
