Westfield View

Westfield View is a community house located very close to Priory Hospital Market Weighton. It provides transitional accommodation for male patients who no longer require hospital level care, yet continue to experience severe and enduring mental illness or a learning disability, and present a level of risk that requires fully supported and staffed accommodation.

The house provides an integrated step-down service from hospital care as patients are able to access and receive the support of Market Weighton’s multidisciplinary team, ensuring that therapeutic relationships are maintained and that continuity of care is received.

Our aim is to provide a recovery-focused service promoting and facilitating the maintenance and development of functional skills, social inclusion and independence.

Service overview

• Accommodation for 3 male patients
• A formulation of support and risk plans in collaboration with the patients
• Support and facilitation of food shopping, budgeting, meal planning sessions, group and individual cooking sessions and household cleaning
