“There are so many outstanding aspects of service but above all, what was most impressive is the undiluted commitment to enabling each patient to have their individual needs met…”   Marion Janner (Director, Star Wards)

Sherwood House opened in April 2006 after being extended and fully refurbished. We have 30 en-suite rooms, a gym, 3 lounges, a computer room with internet access, private visitors’ area, an art therapy room and 2 therapy kitchens.

We believe that our programme of individual care and attention for our patients will contribute to their well-being and comfort so that they will be able to go on to live in the wider community with appropriate support, guidance and assistance.

Dedicated clinical teams provide a multi-disciplinary input including occupational therapy, psychology, psychiatry and vocational training.

Patients are encouraged to exercise their right to be involved in planning their care, to be involved in the social activities of the hospital and to pursue their own interests where this is appropriate within the hospital environment.

We are situated on the outskirts of Rainworth Village which boasts local amenities such as shops, doctor’s surgery, chemist, snooker club, post office, sports school, hairdressers and local bus route to the nearby town of Mansfield.

The setting provides ample opportunity for the people in our care to develop life skills as a prelude to their goal of independent or supported living in the community.
