The team can also support those who have additional mental or physical health needs, as well as those who have been detained under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act. We accept emergency referrals and the team are experienced in managing them quickly and efficiently, to ensure smooth transitions.
New Beds Opening 2026
This Autumn, an onsite flat will open two additional beds. Each will have a private en-suite bedroom and lounge, a space specifically designed for those with additional needs or sensitivities to busy environments. While residents enjoy this privacy, they retain full access to main ward therapies, activities, community meetings, and group events as desired.
Our service at a glance
At Cygnet Wallace Hospital, we are proud to provide a specialist service focused on recovery, independence and positive outcomes for the individuals in our care. Our experienced multidisciplinary team works collaboratively to create personalised care pathways that support each person to reach their full potential.
Our ever-evolving service offers a safe, therapeutic and structured environment, supported by experienced clinical leadership and a compassionate team.
Cygnet Wallace Hospital is a detached purpose-built building, which enables people to receive bespoke, person-centred support to move through a full recovery pathway. The recent renovations have upgraded the facilities throughout the service to provide a calm, homely and modern environment.
The service is split into multiple areas supporting individuals with different levels of need. This creates a care pathway within Cygnet Wallace Hospital from more acute, intensive support towards residential-based support.
Cygnet Wallace Hospital is located in the city of Dundee, which has an extensive array of community amenities to access, including leisure centres, social clubs, shops, colleges, and work placement settings. Service users can also enjoy walks and visits to the nearby botanical gardens and Discovery Quay.
The service has a dedicated activity coordinator who supports service users to have individual activity plans, which are created based on each person’s likes and hobbies. Their goal is to enable each individual to structure their time, build relationships and establish a balance between therapy, self-care, work and leisure, as appropriate to their individual needs.
