How our service can help you
The Intermediate Care Unit is a physical health inpatient rehabilitation facility that is nurse led, supported by GPs and a consultant geriatrician.
The unit's multi-disciplinary team assesses patients to identify treatment goals and agree a provisional length of stay when they are admitted. These goals are then reviewed and progress charted each week. Discharge planning starts on admission so that complex issues are addressed.
Patients and their families are encouraged to take an active role in planning and working together to achieve the best outcome possible. If necessary, referrals are made to other agencies or professionals to support patients when they are discharged.

Carers Information
-
A carer is anyone, including children and adults who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid.
At Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, we value the often life-long support carers provide and recognise them as equal care partners. We want to offer as much guidance and reassurance as possible, to help you in your caring role. You can find general information and support for adult carers, young carers and parent carers by following this link.
