The hospital is built to designated medium secure specifications, to maintain a comfortable and therapeutic environment while helping us maintain a high standard of specialist nursing.
At Stevenage we combine comfort and privacy with strong physical security arrangements. Service users have their own room with en-suite shower, and each ward has a large open lounge with television and DVD player, and access onto a courtyard. There is a separate quiet lounge, also with a television.
Facilities include a large gym offering five-a-side football, basketball and table tennis, and a well-equipped exercise room. Activities for service users who are granted Section 17 leave include gardening at our off-site allotment, ten-pin bowling or day trips.
Everyone has a primary nurse who develops an ongoing relationship with them. We use this relationship as the basis for other members of our multi-disciplinary team of psychiatric, medical, teaching and support specialists to add their individual skills. We tailor the therapy programme for each person, sensitively taking into account their individual needs.
Following the recent purchase of land adjacent to Cygnet Hospital Stevenage for £2 million we are delighted to announce that this will be developed into additional day space for our service users. Find out more>>
