It provides consultant-led services for frail elderly patients. It has 25 long stay beds for inpatient care and a day hospital which provides assessment and rehabilitation facilities.[1]
History
Opening in 1910, it was originally built as an infectious diseases hospital, consisting of seven blocks set on a 22-acre site.[2] In 1948 the hospital had 51 beds, which were still classed as being for the care of infectious diseases.[3]
The kitchen at the hospital has been closed and food for patients is now brought in from outside.[4]
