About us
Situated
in the beautiful Ribble Valley, Kemple View is a 90 bedded hospital split
across two service lines secure and rehabilitation and recovery. We cater to
the treatment needs of male patients with a mental illness and/or personality
disorder. We aim to maximise an individual's opportunity for recovery, to lead
a more independent life back in the community wherever possible. We have
six wards including Low Secure and Locked Rehab for male service users
only.
Many
of our patients have previously been in high, medium or low security. We aim to
work collaboratively with our patients enabling them to take increasing
responsibility for managing their own risks leading to a controlled and graded
discharge. Where a patient requires greatest support we offer contextual risk
management, enhancing compliance and aim to improve their quality of life. We
serve the patient, carers and visitors.
Kemple
View also has a dedicated and purpose-built ward offering Low Secure Forensic
Specialist Older Age service for patients over the age of 50. A higher profile
is given to this patient group's physical healthcare, risk reduction and where
required, mobility and daily living aids.
