Scheduled therapy
We may need to schedule therapy sessions during visiting times, and they take priority over visits.
Scheduled therapy sessions are shown on a timetable in the patient's room, these times may be subject to change.
Protected mealtimes
We observe protected mealtimes at the Unit and may ask you to leave while meals are served. Protected mealtimes are an important part of a patients care and recovery. Keeping these times protected means patients can eat in in a clam atmosphere with time to enjoy this vital part of their recovery.
