CHD Living releases latest rehabilitation services report
CHD Living has released its Rehabilitation Services and Clinical Outcomes Report for 2024/25.
The report showcases the life-changing impact of its specialist neurorehabilitation and complex care pathways, with 94 per cent of residents improving their functional independence and nearly half (47 per cent) returning home – the majority without a formal care package. Delivered across two purpose-built rehabilitation centres in Surrey – Bagshot Park Neurorehabilitation Centre and Kingston Rehabilitation Centre – CHD Living’s programme supports individuals with complex needs, including brain and spinal cord injuries, neurological conditions, and long-term disabilities.
The centres are NHS-preferred providers, combining medical, therapeutic, and psychological expertise with homely environments that promote confidence and independence.
Each resident is supported by a multidisciplinary team, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists, and specialist nurses. Facilities such as hydrotherapy pools, Independent Living Suites and sensory rooms are used to enhance recovery and prepare individuals for life beyond the care setting. Jon Stanley, chief operating officer at CHD Living, said: “These outcomes reflect the dedication, skill and compassion of our rehabilitation and complex care teams. Every person we support comes to us with a unique story and set of challenges, and it’s our responsibility to help them rebuild confidence, restore independence and reimagine what’s possible.
“I’m proud of the progress we’ve made and
even prouder of the people behind it – their work changes lives, every single day.”

Spectrum Conference 2025 highlights care challenges
Nearly 100 care providers gathered in London for an annual conference held by care purchasing network Spectrum Care.
Held at the Holiday Inn Brentford Lock,
the event featured keynote talks from Knight Frank partner Kieren Cole and Katherine Williams, head of regulation and care compliance at Fulcrum Consulting. Opening the event, Kieren Cole
provided a market overview of the UK care home sector, while Katherine Williams explored the new landscape of CQC regulation. Williams described the current system as a “game without the rules,” with providers facing vague standards, inconsistent scoring, and increased enforcement action. The afternoon culminated in a panel
debate chaired by Spectrum director Rishad Datoo, with contributions from sector leaders including Spectrum chairman Arif Pradhan. The discussion ranged from staffing pressures and regulatory uncertainty to innovation in care delivery and opportunities for partnership working. Arif Pradhan, chairman of Spectrum,
said: “This year’s conference has underlined both the scale of the challenges and the strength of the sector when we come together. The insights from Knight Frank and Fulcrum were invaluable, but equally important were the conversations between providers – sharing ideas, lessons learned and best practice. At Spectrum, we believe collaboration is the only way to meet the demands of an ageing population and a shifting regulatory landscape. We’re committed to growing this forum, and we warmly invite more suppliers, sponsors and members to join us as we shape a stronger, more resilient future for care.”
