From admission, our team focuses on maximising positive outcomes and recovery, with a clear path to the least restrictive environment. This includes preparing individuals for independent living or, for those needing continued support, our four-bed step-down service, 15 The Sycamores, where they benefit from ongoing multidisciplinary team (MDT) support.

The service has 22 beds in total of which 9 are located on the ground floor suitable for individuals with some mobility issues. Located in South Normanton, two miles away from the busy Alfreton town centre, service users have access to all of the local amenities to ensure full integration into community life.

At Cygnet Storthfield House, our services offer more than just specialist treatments. We value service users as individuals, help enhance their interests and abilities, engage with personal hobbies, past times and vocational goals.

Our dedicated clinical team provides a full multi-disciplinary programme which includes input from: nursing, occupational therapy, psychology and psychiatry; offering service users the support and opportunities they require in order to stabilise their condition and re-integrate back into the community as independently as personally possible.

Our interventions are adapted according to individual needs in order to maximise their engagement and ensure that progress is being made. Vocational support is provided to assist our service users to prepare for therapeutic jobs at site, voluntary work and paid employment.

We support those in our care to generate CV’s, apply for jobs, practice and attend interviews; alongside developing other skills necessary within in a work environment.

We are committed to working in collaboration with service users first and foremost, family and carers and external professionals to support each person to achieve their goals.

By combining a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach, we deliver high-quality care using our unique 4 stage model of care for our mental health high support inpatient rehabilitation (level 2) services.
