About The RHN
Founded in 1854 and located in the beautiful grounds of Putney, the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability is the oldest independent hospital and medical charity in the UK.
The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability doesn’t just provide treatment for people with serious disabilities; it focuses on each individual as a person. The staff create personalised care plans that resonate with the patients and offer practical and emotional support to both the patients and their families every step of the way.
Shaping the Future
The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability’s Institute of Neuropalliative Rehabilitation conducts pioneering research on clinical advancements and provides valuable information to families, healthcare professionals, and policymakers. It also offers specialised training for medical professionals to improve future care and outcomes for individuals with neuro-disabilities.
By blending traditional care with specialised therapies and innovative technologies, the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability aims to make a real difference in the lives of adults facing profound disabilities due to brain injuries and degenerative neurological conditions like Huntington’s Disease.

Staffed by experienced professionals trained in managing neurological conditions, the home focuses on promoting independence and supporting daily functionality. Committed to improving the overall well-being of residents, the facility offers a range of specially adapted activities and leisure outings, all supported by a dedicated team of activity coordinators, nursing staff, and volunteers.
