What we do

The team offers specialist secondary mental health care for adults living with dementia and people over 65years with mental health problems.

The team works alongside specialist NHS services to build resilience and recovery for older individuals in our community who face mental health challenges. The team is committed to providing holistic and personalized support, ensuring that each individual feels valued, understood and respected throughout their journey towards mental health recovery. We recognize the uniqueness of each individual's path and tailor our interventions to meet their specific needs, focusing on promoting independence, wellbeing and quality of life.
