Nursing and residential care

Rethink runs a number of nursing and residential care homes, providing nearly 200 beds and offering rehabilitation and support to people with severe and long-term mental illness.

Rethink Recovery House has helped me to make a whole turnaround from where I was when I came first to the house after five years in different hospitals. I was extremely anxious, without hope and felt totally unable to keep up with everyday life. With staff support and continuous planning and feedback from care plans I have improved considerably.
