General Psychiatry Unit
The General Psychiatry Unit – also known as the Occupational Therapy (OT) programme – houses the majority of patients in the facility and provides a group milieu programme for the treatment of patients suffering from illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder and various anxiety disorders. In the General Psychiatric Unit, patients will have access to 24-hour nursing care. Patients are accommodated in rooms of two, three or four beds, with the option of private suites. There is also an observation room near the nurses’ station in the main block for patients who require constant observation. Mediclinic Crescent Mental Health Services offers a home away from home and provides our patients with the opportunity to focus on recovery with limited interruptions of everyday stressors while receiving optimum therapeutic support.
Therapeutic input
Nursing care is supported by a psychiatrist and psychologists on a regular basis, who ensure that individual needs around pharmacological input and psychotherapy are managed.
