Communal Areas
The service has been considerately designed to maximise communal and living space for the patients as well as providing activity rooms for the facilitation of therapeutic programmes. Each ward has its own community lounge, dining room and quiet room as well as access to its own secure garden, one of which has a hard surface recreational area for patients sporting activities.
Visitors
Visiting times are weekdays between 9am - 9pm Weekends: 9am - 6pm. We kindly ask that patient’s friends and family pre-book visits directly with the nurse in charge of each ward. We schedule visits to ensure they run as smoothly as possible and to prevent double booking. If you do not pre-book your visit, we cannot guarantee that the visit will go ahead.
We have a dedicated visitor’s room, a separate visitor’s garden and a specific area set aside for children’s visits. Safety and security is paramount within this environment and the building specification has been designed to meet the requirements of the National Minimum Standards for Low Secure Hospitals while retaining a more homely style of environment.
