Townend Court Inpatient Unit

Introduction

Welcome to our Townend Court Inpatient Unit

We are an assessment and treatment unit (ATU) for people with a learning disability with additional mental health needs, whose needs cannot be managed within the community.

At Townend Court, the person’s mental health can be fully assessed in a safe place, by a specialist team of health professionals.

We offer specialist support for people with a learning disability, autism and mental health diagnoses and / or behaviour of concern. 

We offer a safe environment for care and treatment for people who have become unwell and need to come into hospital for help.

People who are admitted to the unit, have been detained under the Mental Health Act (2007) or as an informal patient.

People are admitted into Townend Court when assessment and treatment cannot safely be provided in the community.

The three areas of support we offer are:

Assessment

Treatment

Returning home

There are two units

Lilac is the treatment ward that accepts both male and female patients.
