About Avondale Mental Healthcare Centre
Avondale Mental Healthcare Centre provides 24-hour nurse-led care, accommodation and rehabilitation for adults with a primary mental health diagnosis. Its clinical team includes registered nurses, carers and an occupational therapist, with care needs assessed before admission and individualised plans covering health, social care and cultural needs.
The centre offers respite, medium-term and longer-term care, including continuing care for people with complex and ongoing mental health needs. Rehabilitation and re-ablement programmes can help some residents develop new skills and move towards less supportive environments. Avondale also provides a resident-centred activities programme, community engagement, catering for dietary requirements and accessible ground-floor accommodation. It is built around 24 hour care, support and rehabilitation for adults with mental health needs.
