Recovery

Our service values are based upon recovery principles and the provision of effective rehabilitation.

We focus on enabling recovery through collaborative working and the creation of a positive and encouraging environment. A recovery based approach is adopted using our Hope model of rehabilitation which is based on recovery principles and incorporates a toolkit of interventions available to patient’s dependent upon individual need. Draper House work to ensuring that all patient’s are treated as partners in their care, encouraging them to work directly with the MDT to identify personalised goals through use of a recovery journey tool and make progress. Encouraging Patient’s through giving support, positive feedback and offering hope is of valuable importance when enabling progression through the recovery pathway. Plans for Patients discharge commence upon admission and are reflected in the initial locked rehabilitation care plan reflecting the “Referral to Recovery” principle. Patients are encouraged from admission to plan their personal recovery pathway with support in identifying treatment needs and SMART goals within the recovery journey process. Patients are supported through their recovery pathway and upon discharge use of the transitional discharge support package allows for a graded and seamless transitional discharge period ensuring the patient is supported throughout.
