Our purpose built 16-20 bed independent secure mental health hospitals are for adults between the age of 18-65 who may be liable to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 or Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003. Each hospital delivers high quality accommodation and support for men and women in gender specific wards with ensuite facilities in all bedrooms. Our hospitals are superbly designed to maximise communal and living space for patients as well as providing activity rooms for the facilitation of therapeutic programmes.

Each ward has its own community lounge, dining room and quiet room as well as access to its own secure garden.

We have a first class multi disciplinary team to provide the highest quality support and treatment. This includes a full time Consultant Psychiatrist, a full time Consultant Psychologist and Assistant Psychologist, a full time Occupational Therapist and a full time Activities Coordinator and Nursing staff all of whom are directly employed by Surehaven.
