Service Model
Doulton Lodge is an independent low secure hospital providing assessment, multi-disciplinary care, on-going treatment and focused rehabilitation for up to 27 male patients aged between 18 and 65 years and who require assessment and treatment within the terms of the Mental Health Act.
The service model is based upon the provision of person centred care and sensitive treatment for individuals aimed at improving mental health, reducing and eliminating inappropriate behaviour and risks and replacing them with appropriate patterns of coping, problem solving and improved personal and social skills. The care pathway subsequently increases opportunities for people to return and contribute to successful living within the community.
Admission Criteria
We provide services to people who have a primary diagnosis of mental illness, who may have complex needs such as a learning disability, a history of offending behaviour or who exhibit behaviours that are challenging.
The multi-disciplinary team have a comprehensive assessment process which commences on referral and proceeds through admission and progression along the care pathway. Criteria for admission includes a diagnosis of mental illness, suitability for a low secure environment and confirmation that Doulton Lodge has the pre-requisite services and facilities to support and meet the needs of the individual.
Active Therapy and Multi-Disciplinary Teamwork
Doulton Lodge has an experienced and committed multi-disciplinary team including a dedicated psychiatrist and senior medical team, an active and skilled psychology team, experienced mental health and learning disability nurses, a busy social work department and a dedicated team of health care support workers. In addition there is an enthusiastic Therapeutic Activities Team. Doulton Lodge also has access to a range of community facilities including educational, health and recreational amenities.
Care Pathway Model
Following comprehensive multi-disciplinary assessment we will work with individuals to develop individualised treatment plans focussed upon risk reduction and maximised opportunity.
We will provide programmes of treatment and support which focuses on each individuals potential progressing them towards a return to living in the community.
