Priory Hospital Cardiff, located just 2.5 miles from the city centre, is a four-bedded, low secure service for males or females with personality disorders, learning disabilities or mental health issues. Care is provided across three bespoke therapeutic units, each offering specialist, tailored treatment in the least restrictive environments possible.
Our aim is to support our patients to develop their independence skills, enabling them where possible, to transition to community living. Wards can be easily adapted so that they constantly meet the emotional, behavioural and sensory needs of patients.
The provision of recovery is a central part of the care provided throughout Priory Hospital Cardiff, enabling patients to choose to engage in a range of activities that have meaning and purpose, and are necessary for quality of life.
We run a 12-week rotational therapeutic programme to help to address patients’ holistic needs. Programmes are repeated as required to help to manage risk, develop coping strategies and provide insight into specific needs. This includes:
Individualised therapies
Positive behaviour support (PBS) provision
Sessions such as yoga, wildlife group and crafts
Occupational therapists play an important role in identifying the reason for offending behaviour. Within the recovery approach, occupational therapy plays a part in supporting and instilling hope for patients to reach their goals and aspirations.
