Cherry Tree Close, Kingsway Hospital

Cherry Tree Close is a mental health rehabilitation and recovery unit, providing assessment, care and treatment to 23 service users. The accommodation, in an open, relaxed, tree-lined environment, comprises of five single sex, self-contained bungalows for either four or five service users. An administration office is located in the centre of the Close.

The multi-disciplinary team provide high quality, person-centred, evidence based care using a recovery model. We support and encourage people to explore the concept of recovery and hope, to find meaning within their ‘illness’, and to live well in spite of symptoms. Our approach is highly focussed and readily available, allowing us to respond quickly and effectively to the diverse needs of each service user referred to us.
