Powys Teaching Health Board provides overnight care in community hospital inpatient wards, ready to go home units, inpatient rehabilitation units, reablement units, and mental health inpatients wards.
From 2 December 2024, PTHB will provide overnight care for adults in four settings:
- Our Ready To Go Home Units support people who are well enough to go home but not yet able to do so. These are located in Bronllys and Llanidloes.
- Our Reablement Units provide support for people who are ready to leave a District General Hospital but need a bit of extra support before they are ready to go home. These are located in Builth Wells and Knighton.
- Our Inpatient Rehabilitation Units provide specialist rehabilitation for patients recovering from a serious illness of injury – for example, following a stroke. These are located in Brecon and Newtown.
- Our community hospital wards focus on patients who require ongoing medical or nursing care in a community hospital setting.
This is in addition to the county’s mental health units.
