These ground floor rooms can be used for those individuals with mobility issues who would find stairs difficult, but they can also be used for individuals who need a higher level of observation by the staff. Additionally, we have a gym, two gardens including an allotment, a multi-faith room and two therapy kitchens. Meals at Cygnet Sherwood House are served in the dining room and they run on a caf system. There is a large variety of choice that caters for individual preferences and dietary requirements.
Our dedicated clinical team provide a multi-disciplinary input including occupational therapy, psychology, psychiatry and vocational training. However, we offer more than just specialists and treatments, we value the service users as individuals, help enhance their interests and abilities, encourage them to share their views and help them unlock their talents and aspirations.
