About Chapel House
Chapel House supports people recovering from acquired brain injury through residential rehabilitation, community housing and day vocational placements. Its multidisciplinary team includes neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and physiotherapy, alongside speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and counselling.
Rehabilitation is organised around collaborative goals, meaningful activity and increasing independence. Service users can take part in therapeutic and vocational activities, including sheltered placements that develop routines, social interaction and work-related skills. The pathway is flexible, with people able to join or leave at stages that reflect their needs and progress.

Who can fund rehabilitation at Chapel House?
Rehabilitation may be funded privately, through compensation claims, by NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups or by Local Authorities.
How much does Chapel House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Chapel House for its weekly fee. As a guide, St. Helens council paid on average £808 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
