Billington Ward
This is our specialist PICU (Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit) for women aged 18+ detained under the Mental Health Act, or informal admission. It has 12 beds. Billington Ward will accept emergency and crisis admissions. Our aim is a short, rapid intervention to help individuals regain a sense of control and order in their lives, so they can move to a less restrictive care setting and ultimately return home. This Ward will provide expert, intensive, short-term, individualised care for women detained under the Mental Health Act. Individuals will present with increased risks that require them to be assessed and treated in a PICU environment.

Baldock Ward
Baldock Ward is a Female Acute ward with 16 beds. It will provide a safe and stabilising environment for women experiencing an acute episode of mental illness and require an emergency admission. Baldock Ward is about assessing and treating women in the least restrictive environment and planning for discharge in a robust and timely fashion. With a focus on stabilisation, we support individuals to manage their mental health, reinforce daily living skills and prepare for independent life back in the community. It is for women aged 18 and over.

Harben Ward
Harben Ward is a High Support Inpatient Rehabilitation service (Level 2) with 16 beds. It will offer women, aged 18 and over a safe and comfortable environment that promotes recovery and helps to bridge the gap between hospital stays and community living. Harben Ward will provide a care pathway within Cygnet Kenney House, whilst also accepting external referrals. Service users may have a history of sexual abuse or domestic violence.
