Who Are Our Services For?
Bramacare provides specialist care and support to people with eating disorders, in a community setting. This includes:
- Those in transition from hospital back home; as a stepping stone.
- Those who need longer term care (Severe and Enduring Eating Disorders), in order-to prevent readmission.
- Those who request Respite Care, for re-establishment of normal eating pattern and gradual weight restoration, in order-to avoid worsening of their symptoms and admission to hospital. This can be provided as either a Nursing Care, Residential Care, Transitional Living or Day Care package.
The White House provides 24/7 Nursing Care Home for residents with complex needs and higher medical risk.
We also provide less intensive Residential Care packages for those who are more physically stable. Additionally, we provide Transitional Living and Day Care.
