Summerlee

Summerlee (Formerly Jubilee Unit) is an Inpatient Unit situated on the First Floor of Harry Sotnick House in Portsmouth.

Summerlee comprises of 40 beds in total across 2 Inpatient wards, which consist of Rehabilitation beds for those needing specialist rehabilitation, and D2A beds for patients needing assessment around their long-term needs.

The Units role is to either:

• Provide specialist rehabilitation for patients who no longer require acute medical care but need further input from the multidisciplinary team to maximise their potential before discharge.
• Carry out assessments for patients who are deemed to require assessment to ascertain what the long-term needs of the patients are. As part of this process a multidisciplinary team comprising of Nurses, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Health Care Support Workers and collaborations with GP’s and Social Work colleagues work together, to plan the patients discharge to the most appropriate environment with whatever support is needed.

The service operates in a collaborative and co-ordinated way across primary, secondary and community health services and social care to ensure timely and smooth transfers of care, to reduce delays within the system and ensure service users receive appropriate care in the appropriate setting.

The Unit is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.
