Our Care
We take a recovery-oriented approach, working closely with patients and carers to set goals and plan treatment, care and recovery for a smooth discharge.
Our Team
- Nursing: A nurse will admit your relative or friend to The Greenhouse and provide updates during their shift. Feel free to ask them for any information
- Medical: A Registrar or Intern assesses patients on admission. The Consultant Psychiatrist sees patients within 24 hours and at least weekly. Family meetings may be scheduled during the stay
- Allied Health: An Occupational Therapist runs daily therapeutic groups, individual activities and living skills assessments as needed. A Social Worker supports patients and families throughout their stay and helps plan for discharge. Additional services, including Psychology and Neuropsychology, are available as required
Security
The Greenhouse’s exit is still locked for safety, as some patients require constant monitoring. Please discuss any planned leave with nursing staff.
Activities
Our Occupational Therapist runs group sessions such as exercise, gardening, cooking, art and table tennis. Individual sessions can be arranged, and we hold a weekly communication meeting.
Day Leave
Before taking leave, please discuss any concerns with nursing staff. When returning, please share feedback and complete the leave book. Please also sign in and out at the staff station when visiting.
Discharge – leaving The Greenhouse
Discharge usually occurs in the morning, but we can arrange another time if needed.
