Burston House provides Low Secure care and specialised treatment for adults aged 18 years and older with a learning disability. Patients may also have other associated conditions including personality disorders, mental illnesses and autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs).
The service is split across two specialist wards:
- Kestrel Ward - low secure male
- Rectory House - 8-bedded community rehabilitation ward
This service is part of a care pathway in Norfolk and Suffolk, which provides a step down for patients who are along their recovery journey and closer to discharge into the community. This includes:
- Lombard House - 9 beds, community focused rehabilitation (male only)
Patients here could also benefit from Priory Suttons Manor, which provides support for older, more vulnerable patients, who may require a slower paced environment and more specialist care. Located North East of London, Suttons Manor provides longer-term nursing support and maintenance therapy and incorporates both physical and mental health needs.
