The mayor of Basingstoke and Deane, Councillor Dan Putty, and local MP, Luke Murphy, were the guests of honour at the official opening of the town’s new state-of-the art neurological rehabilitation centre.

Cllr Putty and Murphy cut the ribbon to officially open Hamberley Neurocare Basingstoke, a care service for local people with complex neurological conditions.

The contemporary 28-bedroom building features therapy and medical consulting rooms and a therapy gym fitted with state-of-the-art rehabilitation equipment.

Cllr Putty said: “I was amazed to see such large rooms for the rehabilitation of the residents, they are five star in the making.

“The gym room was very impressive and will aid many to regain fitness.

“And the décor was stunning, giving a homely feeling and will offer comfort to all.

“May Hamberley Neurocare be a great success for all those who will receive care and work there.”

Home Manager, Gill Irish, added: “The opening ceremony was a huge success, and I want to say an extra special thank you to the Mayor, Cllr Putty, and to our new MP, Luke Murphy – they both did a great job of declaring us officially open.

“Hamberley Neurocare Basingstoke will be a hub of clinical expertise, compassion, and genuine kindness – a place where individuals receive truly-tailored care that supports their recovery and resilience.

“Our dedication to exceptional care and individualised attention will shine through in every part of our service, and our launch celebration truly marked that ambition.”

Hamberley Neurocare Basingstoke will provide rehabilitation, long-term, respite, and palliative care for people with brain injuries and neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease.

The building was designed by RDT Architects. The project team also included Hamberley Development, Lancer Scott Construction, Fed3 Project Managers, Harniss Engineers, Ward Associates, and Park Grove Interiors.
