At Hunters Moor, our team delivers exceptional care to patients on life-changing journeys like Ali's.
Alis Journey A Testament to Excellence Ali came to Hunters Moor following paraesthesia and paralysis below his collarbone due to nitrous oxide abuse. He arrived in a wheelchair, his independence stripped away, and his mental health severely impacted.
Thanks to the warm reception of staff like Anayah and the unwavering dedication of our therapy team, Ali regained80% mobility and full independence. He can now climb stairs, manage daily activities, and will soon reunite with his family. Ali's heartfelt words encapsulate our mission:
Thank you for treating me like family, for pushing me to achieve my goals, and for giving me another life. The team here cares deeply, and I will never forget this place.
