Roseacre Ward is designed to a Tier 4 specification but commissioned by ICBs. Building on the expertise of the other personality disorder services within the Cygnet Health Care portfolio, Roseacre Ward further complements our comprehensive national network of specialist services for women with this diagnosis.

Roseacre Ward also provides treatment for women with complex mental illnesses including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar affective disorder or depression and those with secondary diagnosis of mild learning disability or autism spectrum disorder. We also accept service users with a forensic history and those stepping down from secure services.

“Just wanted to say thank you so much to all the staff at Cygnet. I’m doing really well in the community. I’ve started volunteering and I’m over 270 days self harm free. The care I received was amazing and I can’t thank the staff enough for helping me get to where I am now.”Former service user

Roseacre Ward provides a high level of therapeutic care and support that is underpinned by knowledge and practice of evidence-based interventions, delivered by a highly experienced multi-disciplinary team. Our individualised and group treatment programmes are highly specialised and have clearly defined goals and outcomes for our service users. The service is supported by Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).

“I would just like to say thank you for all the work you put in to caring for my daughter. You pulled out all the stops to give her the best treatment and although it was a challenging placement I know in my heart you never gave up on her and for this I am eternally grateful.”Parent

Our comprehensive multi-disciplinary team includes a consultant psychiatrist, a specialty doctor, clinical psychologist, occupational therapist, DBT therapists and nursing and support work team.
