Supportive, specialist care that helps people thrive in everyday life.
Our residential services with mental health nursing offer structured, therapeutic care for adults with complex mental health needs, who are stepping down from inpatient hospitals or secure settings. These services combine day-to-day support with 24/7 mental health nursing oversight to support stabilisation, recovery and long-term progression. Each person’s support is shaped around their strengths, needs and goals, blending clinical safety with personal empowerment.

Our services are for men and women aged 18 and over who:

- May be under a Community Treatment Order, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards, or informal status
We also support individuals at risk of placement breakdown in the community who would benefit from a period of therapeutic support and stabilisation.
