Nursing & Support
St Magnus Nursing

Dedicated Nursing

Providing support, comfort and re-assurance

The unit accommodates both male and female residents and within the unit is a female unit with a female only communal space for our residents who are vulnerable or do not wish to socialise with our male residents. These beds also have access to all other social and communal spaces within West Wing.

Staff provide a high level of support and care for residents who typically have enduring mental health problems often with a cognitive impairment including early stages of dementia. Residents present with behaviours that challenge that have not been able to be managed in other care settings.

Continual Support

To ensure treatment and care is always appropriate

Residents require high levels of supervision and support to maximise their independence and wellbeing in a managed care environment. Usually all residents will have been granted a Deprivation of Liberty Safeguard by the Local Authority, while other residents may be placed here under other parts of the Mental Act, 1983, such as section 117 after care or a Community Treatment Order.

West Wing will continuously assess residents, and once a resident has reached a stage where they could be managed in a more typical care setting. We will facilitate a resident’s move in order to ensure they are cared for in the most appropriate and least restrictive environment.
