Farnham Road Hospital was the first of the new hospitals to be completed, opening in December 2015. The facility provides wards for working-age adult mental health services, co-located with the older adult mental health wards and community mental health and drug and alcohol services. The hospital was carefully designed to provide personalised care in a respectful and supportive environment which aids recovery. 

It includes: 

  • Four wards for adults, all with single bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms to provide people with greater privacy and dignity 
  • Therapeutic and recreational areas including art and craft rooms, multi-purpose spaces for exercise groups or drama therapy and a fitness room 
  • Private, safe gardens and outside spaces accessible for each ward 
  • Public areas including gardens for everyone to enjoy 
  • Facilities for people who are brought in by the police in need of a health-based place of safety.
  • A base for our Home Treatment Team who provide intensive support to enable people to be independent within their home environment when they first leave hospital or possibly to prevent a stay in hospital.

The building is linked to the original, listed Victorian building through a glazed pedestrian walkway and the main entrance is accessed via Bray Road. Other services also located on the Farnham Road Hospital site include:
