Llanbedr Court
Llanbedr Court is a purpose built low secure hospital which opened in 2004 and has undergone a complete refurbishment in 2008/9.
Set in beautiful countryside but with good access to urban amenities, Llanbedr Court is very easily accessible from the M4 or M50 motorways, close to Newport and with good public transport links by bus or rail.
Llanbedr Court has 35 beds organised into 3 single gender units based on clinical need. This includes:

Llanbedr has its own extensive grounds and recreational and therapeutic facilities. Our newly refurbished communal living spaces on each unit are bright, light and airy with access into secure gardens with dedicated smoking areas. Kitchen facilities are provided in each dining room area so that patients can develop daily living skills through the preparation of their own snacks and drinks. All patients have their own bedrooms which can be individualised according to preferences and interests.
The Horticultural Centre offers activity sessions for gardening, woodwork and design. Patients are also involved in the care of chickens, ducks and egg collection.
Our lovely grounds also offer opportunities for bird watching, photography and other hobbies.
Therapy facilities are available for psychology groups, individual counselling and psychotherapy, physiotherapy treatment sessions, speech and language, occupational therapy activities, including arts and crafts, IT, education and an OT rehabilitation kitchen.
