Readmissions from registered care homes

Newham Mental Health Rehabilitation Team, 313 Shrewsbury Road, London E7 8QU

^* Correspondence

Registered care homes have been developed in Newham, a deprived inner city borough of about 220 000 population, by a number of different housing associations. Some of these provide the care component themselves while others purchase it from separate agencies. The formats of the homes also vary. Features common to all the provision include prolonged preparation of future residents in rehabilitation houses on the Goodmayes Hospital campus prior to taking up residence, particular attention to their compatibility and social networks, and regular individual reviews by a community rehabilitation team which also provides training and support to care staff.
