Woodlands exists to provide high quality respite care for people affected by multiple sclerosis in a warm, friendly and caring environment, offering support and motivation, and promoting each person's individuality, privacy, dignity, choice and rights.

Our Resource Centre was added in 2003 to enable Woodlands to more widely share the specialist MS knowledge gained through the Respite Care Centre.

Update on MS respite care centres

We're pleased to announce the successful transfer of Woodlands respite care centre in York to a new company affiliated to Christchurch Court, a leading provider of rehabilitation services.

The centre has been acquired by the new owners as a 'going concern', securing its future as a service for people with MS and maintaining the current staff.

Existing users of Woodlands can continue to be supported by the new owners of the centre for respite care and bookings are now being taken on 01904 430600 - with existing pricing agreements being maintained until the end of March.

The new service, in association with York NHS Foundation Trust, will provide assessment, rehabilitation and treatment for a wide range of neurological conditions, including MS.
