The ethos of our service is about assessing and treating service users in the least restrictive environment and planning for discharge in a robust and timely fashion. With a focus on stabilisation, we will support service users to manage their mental health, reinforce daily living skills and prepare for independent life back in the community.
Hyperacute Neuropsychiatric Rehabilitation – Now Accepting Referrals
Cygnet Victoria House have combined their acute psychiatric expertise with the established neuropsychiatric rehabilitation expertise of Cygnet St William’s, creating a unique and innovative pathway for men who find themselves in environments less conducive to recovery and stabilisation, or requiring a graded step through services from secure pathways.
Our Hyperacute Neuropsychiatric rehabilitation pathway provides an inpatient bespoke behaviour management/ Neuropsychiatric treatment assessment following an Acquired Brain Injury when presenting behaviours are at their most challenging. The pathway will be offered later this month and the team are currently reviewing referrals.
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 comprehensive multi-disciplinary teams, contributing to shorter lengths of stay.
