Winterbourne View was closed by its owner, Castlebeck, in June last year after undercover footage broadcast on BBC documentary Panorama showed some of its 24 vulnerable residents being physically abused.

Patients who lived there under the Mental Health Act were transferred as a group of 11 carers were charged with ill-treatment or neglect against five patients. Nine admitted offences, while the other two have denied wrongdoing and face trial.

Glenside will provide a range of inpatient and residential treatment and rehabilitation services to people with conditions including traumatic brain injury, stroke, and organic neurological conditions.

The company already runs similar facilities to rehabilitate patients with brain injuries in Salisbury.
