Providing a safe and secure care pathway for women with mental health needs, we have collaborated with the NHS to develop services to support individuals from the North West to be treated closer to home.
Cygnet Kenney House is on the redeveloped site of a former nursing home situated on Wester Hill Road. The service is named after the Oldham suffragette Annie Kenney.
The hospital will be staffed by a dedicated and highly skilled team, whose priority is to provide safe care – safe for those entrusted to us and safe for those who live and work in the communities where we are based. The hospital will be a place of sanctuary, focusing on providing appropriate care and treatment to enable those staying there to feel supported and safe.
The service will feature three wards:
- Billington Ward – a 12 bed specialist PICU service for women
- Baldock Ward – a 16 bed emergency acute service for women
- Harben Ward – a 16 bed High Support Inpatient Rehabilitation Service (Level 2) for women
Cygnet Kenney House will bring 140 jobs to the local area across a wide variety of roles including catering, maintenance and domestic staff as well as a multidisciplinary team that includes:
- Responsible clinician
- Specialty doctor
- Hospital manager
- Clinical manager
- Ward managers
- Occupational therapists
- Psychologist
- Assistant psychologist
- Nurses
- Social worker
- Support workers
- Mental Health Act administrator
