White House – Acute Service for Men

Gender: Male

Age: 18+

Beds: 18

White House is Cygnet Bury Dunes’s 18 bed male acute service. The service provides a safe and stabilising environment for men who are experiencing an acute episode of mental illness and require an emergency admission.

The ethos of our service is about assessing and treating people in the least restrictive environment and planning for discharge in a robust and timely fashion. With a focus on stabilisation, we support individuals to manage their mental health, reinforce daily living skills and prepare for independent life back in the community.

“The staff on this ward are world class and nothing like anywhere I’ve been before. They are so friendly, welcoming, warm and helpful.”former service user

Our team works closely and collaboratively with service users, their families and the referrer to provide a seamless pathway from referral to discharge. Our approach is recovery focused and supported by a comprehensive multi-disciplinary team, contributing to shorter lengths of stay. We use specialist outcome measures to track individuals progress throughout their time with us.
