Mentally Frail Wing
This specialist wing provides care for 16 mentally frail residents. Our aim is to reduce the negative aspects of mental illness by offering residents a positive and supportive environment.
In addition to providing safe personal care, practical support and nursing care, our specialist staff work with residents using physiotherapy, aromatherapy, relaxation and social therapy. Residents are encouraged to develop their social abilities, enjoy conversation and take part in activities if they are able.
The ground-floor wing is comfortable and attractive, and the emphasis is on brightness and warmth. To ensure privacy and safety, digital locks and door alarm systems secure the wing. Our specially designed reminiscence area incorporates stimulation of hearing, smell and sight, and an enclosed sensory garden continues the sense of contact and well-being.
We enjoy close working relationships with the General Practitioners and Psychiatric specialists who support the local area. Qualified nurses are on hand 24 hours a day, supported by experienced carers. All staff are trained in the safe management of people who are at risk from falls, absconding, self-damaging or other challenging behaviour.
