Services at Elizabeth House

We offer a service for the treatment of mental and emotional disorders through the provision of medical, psychological and nursing interventions supported by other members of the multi-disciplinary team which are designed to encourage communication of conflicts and insight into problems, with the goal being relief of symptoms, changes in behaviour leading to improved social and vocational functioning and personal growth.

Our services are provided across three wards - currently two wards are dedicated to the care and treatment of acute mental illness in females, and one ward is dedicated to the care and treatment of acute mental illness in males.

Acute Care Unit

Our Acute services can support people who are detained under the Mental Health Act, or who are admitted to hospital informally. People may access our acute service as a direct admission via their local NHS mental health hospital or community teams. This provides a seamless transition of care. We can support individuals experiencing difficulties due to a range of conditions including bipolar disorder, psychosis, depression, personality disorder and self-harm. We aim to prepare all service users for discharge straight back to their local community under the care of the community mental health team, or to the least restrictive environment appropriate to meet their own individual needs.
