STEPS Rehabilitation is a private healthcare centre in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, providing neurological and trauma rehabilitation. It offers residential and day services for adults with acquired brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other complex trauma conditions.

History

STEPS Rehabilitation was founded in 2017[1] by family members, Julia Shiel-Boulger, Victoria Chan, and Ray Boulger. The company was incorporated in 2012 but did not begin operating until 2017. The centre was initially funded with a combination of investment by the founding family and a loan from the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund[2].

Facilities

The primary location is Alexander House at 30 Troutbeck Road, Sheffield, with 23 bedrooms and one independent living apartment for clients. The facility houses a therapy gym, hydrotherapy pool, a RehabHub, music room, on-site café and dining space, and a garden room[3].

In January 2025, STEPS opened an additional three-bedroom accommodation at 16 Troutbeck Road, intended for family members of those undergoing residential neurorehabilitation[4]. This property was described as the first such dedicated family facility associated with a rehabilitation centre in the UK[4].

Services

STEPS Rehabilitation admits individuals aged 16 and over with a range of neurological and trauma conditions. It provides both residential and day rehabilitation programmes. Care is delivered by an interdisciplinary team, including therapists, nurses, and clinical staff. The centre does not provide ventilation-dependent care.

In 2022, STEPS partnered with STEPS Prosthetics to provide prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation[5].

Technology

STEPS Rehabilitation uses rehabilitation technology as part of their rehabilitation packages. In 2022, STEPS and Fourier Intelligence signed a Memorandum of Understanding[6].

STEPS is home to the MindMaze system, a neuro-animation technology used in rehabilitation[7].

Regulatory Status

In 2021, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated STEPS Rehabilitation as Good[8]

Associated Charity

In 2023, STEPS Rehabilitation established the separately registered charity STEPS Rehabilitation Foundation[9]. The Foundation operates independently and provides support for injured individuals without access to alternative funding sources.
