The service is also able to offer community rehabilitation (level 1) support in the step down flats on the hospital site.
Women often come to us following multiple placement breakdowns, failed treatment programmes or they may be stepping down from secure settings. The service has been designed with wellness in mind, providing a safe and comfortable environment that promotes efficient rehabilitation and recovery. Our aim is to understand, stabilise and break the traumatic cycles of relapse that can impact individual’s lives.
At Cygnet Lodge Salford, our main focus is to give women the skills and confidence to enable them to live independently in the community. Our psychology and occupational therapy led interventions effectively tackle the challenges of mental health and alongside our clinical interventions, we help women enhance their personal skills to rebuild their lives. Our care embraces a balanced approach to risk management and therapeutic optimism.
Located on a quiet residential street, we are within walking distance of local shops and amenities including restaurants, libraries, colleges and places of worship. Just a 20 minute drive away is the popular Trafford Centre which is a large indoor shopping and leisure complex in Greater Manchester.
