Heatherwood Court has 48 beds organised into four single gender units based on clinical need.
Communal living spaces are light and airy including homely lounges where patients are able to socialise with each other, watch television or listen to music. Each unit in addition has a separate quiet lounge which is available for periods of calm, rest or relaxation.
