“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.”

Malsis Hall offers a therapeutic environment providing effective treatment and rehabilitation through collaboratively working with and empowering each individual. We develop individual pathways that are positive giving each person purpose and goals which are achievable. Interventions focus on positive risk taking and all interventions are recovery based.

The pathway provided on site which includes hospital beds through to independent living apartments supports this rehabilitative approach.

We are a community facing service encouraging integration and independence through engagement and empowerment to enable positive and sustained outcomes.
