Our 2 SSAFA Norton Homes provide short term accommodation so that families can stay nearby whilst their loved ones are being treated at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham and the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court, Surrey. The houses are designed as a 'home from home' and are located in secure and peaceful environments.
The homes are available 365 days a year and are run by dedicated on-site teams who are there to offer support, comfort and advice to those who stay. We recognise that it is often a very difficult and emotionally challenging time.
Who can stay there?
The homes are available for any family member, including children, who wish to visit a loved one at Selly Oak Hospital or Headley Court. The homes also have disabled access and facilities which means that patients can stay there too if their family or a partner is visiting.
