Tavistock

Livewell Southwest provides a community rehabilitation service around the Tavistock Hospital and surrounding areas called the West Devon community team. The Tavistock Community Rehabilitation Team is based at Abbey Rise and offers assessment and treatment for adults living in their own home, residential or nursing homes, or as an inpatient at Tavistock Hospital.

Locality, and deputy locality, managers are responsibility for leading an integrated team of health and social care professionals – including social workers, therapists, community-based and hospital-based matrons and nurses – to ensure people receive the right rehabilitation support, in the right place and at the right time.

The support offered by this services ranges from assessment and case management, community-based rehabilitation for people unable to travel to clinics or surgeries and adult protection from harm. An immediate care service offers urgent interventions to help prevent readmission to hospital, as well as helping to work towards earlier discharge for those already receiving treatment as an inpatient.
