Cygnet Lodge Salford

Women often come to us following multiple placement breakdowns, failed treatment programmes or they may be stepping down from secure settings. The service has been designed with wellness in mind, providing a safe and comfortable environment that promotes efficient rehabilitation and recovery. Our aim is to understand, stabilise and break the traumatic cycles of relapse that can impact individual’s lives.

Our psychology and occupational therapy led interventions effectively tackle the challenges of mental health and alongside our clinical interventions, we help women enhance their personal skills to rebuild their lives. Our care embraces a balanced approach to risk management and therapeutic optimism.

When the time is right, access to the local community is an essential step along the pathway to independence, for both leisure pursuits and for social training such as shopping and using public transport.

Cygnet Lodge Salford is situated on a quiet residential street in Salford within walking distance to local shops and amenities including restaurants, libraries, colleges and various places of worship. Just a 20 minute drive from the service is the popular Trafford Centre which is a large indoor shopping centre and leisure complex in Greater Manchester.

In addition to the 19 en-suite bedrooms, the service also features a number of bespoke apartments, allowing women to reside together in a small group or independently. This allows for the individuals to safely test out their independent living skills prior to re-integration into the community. The service also includes a number of living spaces, a quiet lounge and a therapy kitchen that is attached to a large open plan dining room.
