Swanborough House is a residential care home providing slow- stream rehabilitation for people with acquired brain injury. Some causes are car accidents, blows to the head and strokes. Our residents’ ages range from 18 to 65 and our philosophy aims to provide a caring atmosphere, in which the individual can develop their potential. We aim to help them lead a more independent life, improving their daily living skills and providing therapies and sessions both in the house and in the local community.

We are pleased to have developed strong links with the Whitehawk Inn, The Wellsbourne Centre, The Bridge, William Moon and the Valley Social Centre. We value our links with the local community and are keen to develop further good relationships. We always welcome visitors including potential volunteers and local social organisations. For further information or to make an appointment please call on 01273 696 391 or email on rmcswanborough@lineone.net

A Big Thank You…
Thank you to all who helped by buying tickets for the Good-Timers club here in Whitehawk. The raffle went well and we raised £187.00. All prizes were donated by local shops and residents and a big thank you to all as we would not have been able to go ahead without you. A prosperous New Year to you all.
