Steve was a warrant officer for the Royal Engineers for over twenty years. At the age of 39, he was knocked from his bike and sustained a severe brain injury, partial paralysis and speech difficulties. It is now four years on from his arrival at the home, during which time Steve has made amazing improvements which have helped him to attain a greater quality of life.

By utilising speech and language therapy and attending regular physiotherapy and occupational therapy sessions with the team, Steve has developed his communication and mobility skills. Steve has continued to stay focused on his goals and said that he feels that “it is going excellently”. On continuing with physio, he said, “I think positively…. one day I will walk again… just think one day, and I am one day closer to getting better – I am one day closer to it now”.

“Every day is a gift… one day, my goal is to walk again.

Being here makes that goal possible” – Steve
