About us:

Nelson House is a modern and spacious 28 bedded Rehabilitation and Recovery mental health unit providing care for men of adult working age with mental illness.

We have two wards, Trafalgar our High Dependency Ward and Victory which is a step down ward.

By having a focus on the development of skills for independence the unit provides a positive step for patients, many whose next step will be living in the community. It helps patients learn new ways of managing their conditions and symptoms with the aim of helping to prevent any future relapse. For patients with challenging behaviours, Nelson House helps them to learn skills to change their response to anxiety and distress.

We have a full MDT, with Psychology and Occupational Therapy being a key driver within our unit
