The Hawkhurst Proactive Reablement Unit (PRU) provides a unique opportunity for patients who are medically fit to leave an acute hospital to have occupational therapy and physiotherapy in a friendly caring environment to become more independent and more mobile. This enables them to be able to safely return to the community but requiring less dependence on care. This can be very important as often these patients have lost their confidence and independence during their stay in hospital which uniquely this unit helps them to regain.
