Cedars Ward
We are an older person's male ward with 10 beds. We provide specialist care to people with a diagnosis of dementia who, due to various reasons, can no longer be supported safely in the community.
If you're admitted onto the ward, you'll receive a comprehensive assessment of your mental, physical and social needs.
We work with you, your family and your carers to support you through to discharge and ensure the appropriate services are in place once you're discharged.
Our team
We are a team of many different health and care professionals. This includes the consultant psychiatrist, junior doctors, registered mental health nurses, registered nurse associates, nursing assistants, occupational therapists and psychologists.
We also have access to speech and language therapists, dietitians and physiotherapists from within the trust.
We work very closely with social workers, community mental health teams, intensive home treatment service and other third party providers to ensure you have the appropriate follow up care and support.
You are always welcome to visit your loved ones on the unit. Visiting time is 9am – 9pm daily.
We do try to protect mealtimes, if you can please try to avoid lunch 12pm-1pm and teatime 5pm-6pm if possible.
We have a visiting room for children, please contact the ward to book in for this.
Our access guides have photographs and information about directions, parking, toilets, other facilities. They also have details of assistance available, such as wheelchairs and hearing loops:
Cedars ward is now completely smokefree, meaning smoking isn't allowed anywhere in or out of the hospital.
If you’re a patient on a ward and usually smoke, we have a variety of options to support you whilst in hospital. Please speak to any member of the ward team to discuss how we can support you.
