The Community Rehabilitation Team (CRT) provides a home-based, multi-disciplinary service for older people and adults with a disability.

It gives advice about managing disabilities on a long-term basis, and what service users can do to try to avoid unnecessary admission to hospital/long-term care.

The team works closely with other agencies, health and social care departments and organisations to ensure that patient care is co-ordinated.

Anyone who is eligible will be assessed by the team to determine the correct help and support.
