Our Services A - Z - Newton Community Hospital Inpatient Unit
About the service
Newton inpatient unit provides rehabilitation for patients who are medically fit to leave the acute care but require more therapy or clinical input to help them return home (or assisted care environment).
We provide sub-acute care with short term interventions to preserve and promote the wellbeing of the patients.
Patients can be admitted to our unit from either stepping down from an acute hospital bed or stepping up from the community via GP or Community matron.
