Snowdrop Ward is a 18 bedded assessment and treatment unit for older adults with an acute organic illness who require a period of assessment within an acute mental health setting.
This unit is a mixed environment for males and females, with single ensuite bedrooms. Whilst in hospital, patients can expect a comprehensive assessment from a multi-disciplinary team assessing their needs from a social, physical and mental health perspective.
We will aim to make every patient's stay with us as comfortable as possible. We aspire to provide high quality care within a warm and patient friendly environment.

We know how important staying in contact with your family or carers is and we want you to keep in contact with them. All visitors must sign the visitors’ log sheet in reception.
Please note that the Nurse in charge may cancel visits at their discretion. You will be given a full explanation should this occur. It may also be necessary at times to supervise a visit, and or restrict the time of visit; again a full explanation will be provided should this occur. We will keep you up to date with any changes.
Where visitors are under 18 years of age, please inform the staff well in advance as we have specific procedures to follow for children and young people visiting the property. We try to protect meal times as to support a therapeutic meal time for the patient group.
