Malsis Hall

Malsis Hall is a refurbished country house and estate that provides a Care Home with Nursing as well as a Care Home without Nursing. There is also a purpose-built Hospital on site along with more independent Studio Apartments. This provides a clear care pathway and gives various living and support options to match need, whilst enabling the individual to live in the least restrictive environment safely.

The service holistically supports people with complex mental health conditions on their journey to recovery and independence. We strive to provide quality care and support to enable the person to be as safe and independent as they possibly can be and that they have a clear care pathway back into the community.

We provide opportunities to develop and maintain skills and coping strategies needed for everyday life. We pride ourselves on early intervention and our pathway at Malsis Hall ensures the person builds and develops confidence enabling them to successfully progress down the various available living options on-site to living in the community.

We place emphasis on maximising quality of life and reducing admissions to hospital.

Quotes from a Service User currently at Malsis Hall

“The ward was very well staffed the entire time. They had made sure they had got food that met my dietary and religious needs from the day I arrived.”

“Malsis Hall is different to most other care homes and hospitals from the Registered Manager through to the Support Workers, Cleaner’s, Maintenance staff everybody knows your name.”

“Everybody gets along with each other despite their differences and there is the quiet lounge to escape to if everyone gets too much.”

“There are always staff around to assist you with cooking, laundry, take you for walks.”

“I think that it is symbolic of the ethos and environment they are trying to create at Malsis Hall – one of it being your home whilst ever you are here, a place that is honest and open and somewhere that each individual is cared for as a person – not a number.”

At Malsis Hall we recognise keeping in contact with family and friends is an integral part of any recovery journey. We encourage relatives and friends to visit at any time and are committed to supporting the family as a whole.
