Faircape Health INSTITUTE

Neurological & Spinal Rehabilitation

A neurological event or diagnosis can change life in an instant, but recovery is possible, and how you rehabilitate matters. At Faircape Health Institute, our neurological rehabilitation programme is built on clinically proven care with transparent outcomes, delivered by a specialist interdisciplinary team with decades of combined experience.

We focus not only on managing your condition, but on restoring independence, rebuilding confidence, and helping you return to the life you want to live.

Neurological Conditions We Treat

Our team is experienced in the rehabilitation of a wide range of neurological conditions, including:

  • Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) – paraplegia, tetraplegia, and incomplete spinal cord injuries
  • Stroke – ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke recovery
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) – post-acute and sub-acute rehabilitation
  • Parkinson’s Disease – functional maintenance and slowing of decline
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) – relapse recovery and ongoing functional support
  • Guillain-Barré Syndrome
  • Cerebral Palsy – adult functional rehabilitation
  • Post-ICU neurological complications – including critical illness polyneuropathy

Acute Care

Faircape Health Institute provides specialised acute care services for patients requiring active, short-term medical treatment following surgery, serious illness, injury, or complex medical events. Delivered within a professional clinical environment, our expert healthcare teams focus on stabilisation, treatment, and early recovery to support the best possible patient outcomes.

Sub-Acute Care & Rehabilitation

Faircape Health Institute provides specialised sub-acute care and rehabilitation in a hospital environment for patients recovering after surgery, illness, injury, or an intensive care stay. Our interdisciplinary team of medical professionals, therapists, and nursing staff work together to support recovery, restore independence, and improve quality of life through personalised rehabilitation programmes delivered in a safe, therapeutic environment. 

Outpatient Healthcare Services

Outpatient healthcare services are medical care services provided to people after they’ve returned to their home environment. At Faircape Health Institute, we pride ourselves on our commitment to excellence in providing outpatient healthcare services in a world class setting with state-of-the-art equipment on a consultation basis.

Long Term Care (Chronic Care & Frail Care)

Our long term care services provide ongoing care and support to those no longer living independently. This type of care is highly individualised and emphasises the inherent worth of the individual and the centrality of human values.

Palliative Care (End of Life Care)

At Faircape Health Institute, we provide specialised, compassionate care for people nearing the end of their life, or in the advanced stage of a terminal illness. End-of-life care involves a range of possible decisions, including patients’ rights and choice of medical interventions.

Respite Care

Respite care is temporary care, either planned or emergency, aimed at caregivers. These programmes provide short-term breaks for families and carers to support and maintain the primary caregiving relationship.

Our Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) Approach

Clinical evidence is clear: neurological outcomes are significantly better when care is delivered by a coordinated, multidisciplinary team rather than individual practitioners working in isolation.

At Faircape Health Institute, our interdisciplinary team operates as one – sharing goals, combining expertise, and meeting regularly to review your progress. Your treatment plan evolves with you, ensuring every decision is driven by your outcomes, not a fixed protocol.

Our neurological rehabilitation team includes:

Dietitians
Discharge Planners and Rehabilitation Co-ordinators
Medical Doctors
Nurses
Occupational Therapists
Pharmacists
Physiotherapists
Social Workers
Speech Therapists
Neuropsychologist
