Acute service
Woodbourne’s acute service is split across two wards - Maple which provides 16 beds, and Beech with provides 12. We also have a new 8 bedded ward opening soon.
We aim to achieve minimum lengths of stay by providing an extension to NHS care pathways during times of fluctuating demand. Our team works closely with referring Trusts and we work collaboratively with discharge teams, to ensure a smooth transition back into existing community services, or to an individual’s home where possible.
Our acute service is available to those aged 18 - 25 years and beds within this unit are contracted.
