Nottinghamshire Healthcare is launching a new service, working in partnership with Turning Point. Beacon Lodge will be a 12 bedded step down unit and will open to residents at the beginning of September 2016.
The service, commissioned by Nottinghamshire Healthcare and delivered by Turning Point, will run as a pilot for 12 months, providing support and intervention for people well enough to leave acute inpatient mental health care but requiring support prior to returning to independent living. The effectiveness and success of this service will be reviewed at the end of the pilot to establish the clinical effectiveness and financial implications of such a model.
