Eastlands

Typically supports adults with:

• complex mental health needs arising from a primary mental health or neurological diagnosis, such as acquired brain injury, dementia, or Korsakoff syndrome
• behaviours of concern requiring a single-sex environment
• a forensic background, where risk-related behaviours have reduced or ceased over time
• good mobility without high levels of physical nursing need.

The unit provides a male-only, structured and supportive environment with positive behaviour support, consistent risk management, and individualised staffing and observation where needed.

Care focuses on stability, emotional wellbeing, meaningful engagement, daily living skills, and greater independence, with nursing support for co-occurring physical health needs.

Typically supports adults with:

• a primary neurological diagnosis, such as brain injury, Huntington’s disease, motor neurone disease, spinal cord injury, or stroke
• predominant physical health needs that require a high level of nursing input, observation, and monitoring
• co-occurring health needs such as diabetes, dysphagia, and epilepsy
• increased clinical and safety risks, including infection, malnutrition, falls, or risks related to personal safety
• clinical interventions such as catheters, enteral feeding, and tracheostomies
• complex respiratory needs requiring oxygen or ventilation
• dysphagia, requiring modified diets, supervised mealtimes, and aspiration risk management
• limited mobility, requiring regular repositioning, skin integrity checks, and ongoing monitoring
• co-occurring mental health needs with associated behaviours of concern, including distress or resistance when receiving support with personal care.

Care focuses on maintaining function, comfort, meaningful involvement, and independence.

For people with progressive conditions, care can adapt through increasing frailty, palliative care, and end-of-life care.

The unit is suited to an active, sociable community of people who can maintain appropriate personal space and are comfortable sharing communal areas with others.
