Blossomwood (formerly Millbrook Mental Health Unit)

Provides two wards - Robin Ward and Kingfisher Ward, with a third ward opening in 2025.

Our unit provides inpatient services and outpatient clinics to adults including older adults who need specialist mental health services.  

Based at Blossomwood are:

  • Two older adult wards
  • ECT suite
  • Outpatient clinics for adults
  • Clozapine and depot clinic

Redevelopment work is currently taking place at Blossomwood as part of the Trust's programme to eradicate dormitory accommodation and to bring together the mental health wards for older people under one roof. 

It includes the refurbishment of some of the current building and new build to extend the current facilities. On completion the unit will provide three wards for over 65s all with single ensuite bedrooms: there will be an 18-bed dementia ward, an 18-bed mental health ward and a 10-bed ward for flexible use (both dementia and / or mental health).

Each ward will have a low stimulus area and a therapeutic outdoor space, there will continue to be a dedicated ECT suite, a new dedicated therapy space, as well as off-ward assessment, therapy and tribunal space, and doctors' residence. In addition, colleagues will have access to a Health and Wellbeing hub, and visitors will have 24-hour access to refreshments. There will also be upgraded CCTV across the site, a new nurse call system and new key tracker system.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused to you by the works if you visit Blossomwood or are a patient there and thank you for your patience.

We have created a dedicated page to update you on the progress of this redevelopment.
