Neuropsychiatric

Cygnet Health Care offers a range of neurological services for individuals with acquired brain injuries and neurodegenerative disorders. Our person-centred and flexible model aims to reduce risk, maximise independence, improve quality of life and where possible, help those affected to fully recover.

Our programmes are delivered through our pioneering myPath model, which is adapted to treat individuals service users with neuropsychiatric conditions including acquired brain injuries and neurodegenerative disorders. We place a strong emphasis on service user outcomes, which are measured via our comprehensive range of outcome tools.

We have collaboratively created our model of care based on an integrated approach whereby family, service users, commissioners and carers are all involved in the rehabilitation and recovery of the individual.

Our comprehensive range of outcome tools and measures evaluate progress to ensure a holistic view of recovery. These include:

Cognitive assessments:

Test of Premorbid Functioning (TOPF)
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale IV (WAIS IV)
Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III)
Effort testing
Repeatable Battery for the assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS)

Visual Object Space Perception Battery (VOSP)

myPath is at the heart of our services. It offers the men and women in our care a range of outcome measures. These are integrated in care plans and are subsequently reviewed regularly by the members of the interdisciplinary team.

By using the model we can define and set step-by-step objectives that cross all areas of an individual’s psychological and neurological rehabilitation development.
