Joint Community Rehabilitation (JCR)

JCR is a partnership between Adult Social Care and Health, providing support to help you live well in your home and promote your independence.

We are a team of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Nurse Falls Practitioners, Podiatrists, Support Workers, Associate Practitioners and Care Coordinators who work jointly with the Adult Social Care Reablement team.

We cover Hastings and Rother, Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford and the High Weald, Lewes and Havens areas and work with clients in their own homes when they are unable to leave the house.

We accept referrals for people who have experienced a decline in their function and independence from our Health and Social care colleagues in other services, usually via Health and Social Care Connect (HSCC). Contact your GP or healthcare specialist to discuss suitability for a referral to us.
