Ty Cwm Rhondda is a 20-bedded low secure mental health facility offering high quality assessment, treatment and rehabilitation services for males with complex mental health needs, serious mental illnesses including treatment-resistant presentations, and challenging behaviour.

We seek to work with individuals to stabilise their mental health and behaviours with the aim to maximise independence and promote reintegration into the community at the earliest opportunity.

Our approach

Our 12-week care planning process supports patients to prioritise their goals and formulate treatment plans to meet their individual needs and recovery. Care planning is being developed further to adopt a positive behaviour support model, helping patients to gain more insight and recognise triggers for their behaviours with the aim of managing these more effectively.

We expect continued involvement and engagement with local services at every stage of the patient’s pathway. This is particularly important in relation to risk reduction, rehabilitation, social integration and discharge planning.

Our psychologically informed, clinically directed services are designed to address the individual’s needs and also include:

• Nursing intervention and care planning
• Group therapy and activities
• Psychological interventions
• Individual 1:1 interventions
• Pharmacological intervention as required
• Family support where appropriate
• Education around psychoses and substance abuse
• Addressing basic educational needs
• Relapse prevention planning in partnership with the referring team and the individual

We deliver a wide range of interventions intended to support, educate and rehabilitate the individual. We have a diverse professional population who use their varied skills in innovative and evidence-based interventions.

Patients at this hospital could also go on to benefit from our specialist secure services care pathway. Priory Suttons Manor 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.

Focus on Safety

Our absolute priority is to make sure we operate safe and effective services 24/7 and that all staff understand what is required of them to make that happen. Click here to read more.
