The operation and management of Newton House, formerly under the Mental Health Care UK umbrella, will now be a part of the Cygnet Health Care division and the 21-bed service will provide High Support Inpatient Rehabilitation (Level 2) for men struggling with their mental health.
The service, on Newton Drive, will be renamed Cygnet Newton House, and facilities include 21 en-suite bedrooms, spacious living areas, activities room, independent living kitchen, rehabilitation suite and a large patio and garden area.
It is currently rated Good by the healthcare regulator, the Care Quality Commission.
Dr Tony Romero, Cygnet CEO, said: “We are delighted to welcome Newton House to the Cygnet Group. This acquisition aligns with our mission at Cygnet to deliver compassionate, person-centred care while expanding our network of specialist mental health services in order to support more people.
“Extending our services into Blackpool reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality mental health services and ensuring individuals receive the specialist care they need.
“We look forward to working with the staff, service users, and the wider Blackpool community to continue providing excellent care and support.”
Cygnet Newton House will add to Cygnet’s existing portfolio of 21 High Support Inpatient Rehabilitation Services (Level 2) throughout the UK.
Lee Hammon, Cygnet’s Chief Commercial Officer, added: “This is an exciting time for Cygnet, Newton House is a fully operational service and is a great fit into our existing level 2 high support inpatient rehabilitation portfolio.
“It enables us to further collaborate with local NHS commissioners to provide in area solutions aimed to help ease pressures on acute wards and other services.”
