Adult Inpatient Mental Health Service - Bentley

Bentley Mental Health Service provides a comprehensive range of specialist adult mental health services, operating at Bentley Health Campus. These include acute inpatient mental health services (62 beds) for people aged 18 to 65, located at F Block.

In Bentley the Adult Inpatient Wards 6, 7 and 8 are intensive care mental health units where patients receive treatment, care and support in a safe environment. Ward 6 is a locked ward facility which provides care for patients admitted on an involuntary basis under the Mental Health Act 2014. Patients are allocated to open ward areas (Wards 7 and 8) based on catchment area address.

Whilst admitted to inpatient care, holistic needs assessment is undertaken by the multi-disciplinary care team with an emphasis on identification of needs to be met in order to facilitate discharge pathways to community follow up via outpatient clinics and primary care.
