About the service

Summers View is a 10-bedded, mixed sex inpatient mental health rehabilitation unit, providing a structured, therapeutic environment within the community for individuals with complex or enduring mental health needs who require ongoing support to achieve greater independence. The service is designed for people who may not yet be ready for full independent living, but who no longer require acute hospital care.

The team are committed to delivering recovery-oriented care that promotes autonomy, resilience, and social inclusion through a co-produced approach. The approach is person-centred and strengths-based, enabling individuals to identify and work towards their personal goals at a pace that reflects their needs and abilities. The team support each person to build the skills, confidence, and stability required for successful transition to more independent community living.

The unit is staffed by a multidisciplinary team comprising of mental health nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, and support staff. The team works collaboratively to provide holistic, coordinated care that addresses clinical, psychological, social, and practical aspects of recovery.

Summers View provides:

  • A safe, supportive, and homely inpatient rehabilitation environment within the community
  • Individualised, co-produced care and rehabilitation plans
  • Ongoing assessment and management of mental health and associated risks
  • Access to psychological therapies and structured therapeutic programmes
  • Support to develop daily living skills, including self-care, budgeting, and maintaining accommodation
  • Opportunities to engage in meaningful activities, education, and vocational pathways
  • Support to build and maintain social networks and community connections
  • Proactive discharge planning focused on step-down to more independent living arrangements

The overarching aim is to enable individuals to achieve sustained recovery, maximise their independence, and successfully reintegrate into the community with the skills and confidence to maintain their mental wellbeing.

Summers View sits within the Rehabilitation Pathway, working collaboratively alongside Hilda Johnson House, the Community Rehabilitation Team, the Complex Care Team and the Forensic Liaison Partnership Team (FLP).
