We pride ourselves on delivering compassionate, patient-centred care. Family, friends, and carers are encouraged to visit and be involved in your recovery. Our staff are always available to answer questions and provide support throughout your stay.
Admission is by referral from your GP or hospital team. On arrival, you’ll receive detailed information about your care, and our team will work with you and your loved ones to ensure all support is in place for a safe discharge.
We welcome feedback and strive to make every patient’s experience positive, safe, and supportive.
