Dog Therapy

 

Finley Walter is our resident Pets as Therapy dog.  Finley has been attending Derbyshire Stroke Centre since he was just 12 weeks old.  Now he is a fully qualified Pets as Therapy dog and hardworking member of staff.  He is helped by Harry and Ruby, but Finley remains the main man! 

 

He has a wide range of duties such as meeting and greeting visitors, helping Jerry to dig the garden and taking part in activities.   He makes time to cuddle anyone who is feeling a little down and is always enthusiastic if a game of ball chasing is required.

Fully Accessible Transport

​

We are the proud owners of five wheelchair accessible vehicles.  Following a stroke getting back to driving sometimes is a challenge and there may be many reasons why a survivor is no longer able to drive. 

 

Many families become isolated as they are unable to get out without considerable support. We are able to bring survivors and carers to our centre offering a bespoke service - some people like to ride round, with the journey being part of their day out, others prefer to come straight to the Centre and let their day begin!
