The facility was established as an isolation hospital for treating contagious diseases known as Heathcote Hospital in 1887. A nurses' home was built 1937. The hospital started to focus specifically on tuberculosis cases in 1952 and was converted for use as a geriatric hospital in 1959.
In the early 21st century steps were take to convert the buildings for use as a rehabilitation centre. Feldon Ward, which was refurbished for use as a state-of-the-art stroke unit, re-opened in 2006. Campion and Chadwick Wards, which form the core of the new rehabilitation hospital, were similarly refurbished and officially opened by the Princess Royal on 29 January 2015.
