Bespoke Therapeutic Packages

Specialist care, designed around the individual

Some individuals require a level of support beyond a traditional inpatient setting. At Ellern Mede, our Bespoke Care Placements provide single-person environments and highly personalised care packages for individuals with complex needs that cannot be safely or effectively met within a standard ward environment.

Every placement is individually designed through comprehensive assessment, specialist multidisciplinary input and close collaboration with commissioners, families and community professionals to support meaningful, long-term recovery.

Our Bespoke Care Placement offer:

  • Personalised care pathways tailored to each individual.
  • Dedicated staffing designed around clinical need.
  • Adapted therapeutic environments that promote safety and recovery.
  • Consultant-led multidisciplinary care, including psychology, nursing, medical and dietetic support.
  • Autism-informed and trauma-informed approaches.
  • A commitment to reducing restrictive practices.
  • Clear recovery goals with regular multidisciplinary reviews.
  • Planned progression towards greater independence and community living.

Who we support

Our Bespoke Care Placements are suitable for young people and adults with complex mental health needs who may:

  • Require enhanced levels of support or observation.
  • Have experienced previous placement breakdowns.
  • Present with complex risk or behaviours associated with distress.
  • Have eating disorders requiring specialist support.
  • Experience autism alongside co-occurring mental health needs.
  • Benefit from adapted environments or personalised staffing.
  • Require a highly individualised therapeutic approach.

Every referral is assessed individually to ensure we can provide the right care in the right environment.

A personalised approach to care

No two people are the same, which is why no two Bespoke Care Placements are the same.

Following a comprehensive assessment, we develop an individual care pathway that brings together specialist staffing, therapeutic support, adapted environments and personalised recovery goals. Care is regularly reviewed with families, commissioners and community teams to ensure each individual continues to progress safely towards greater independence.

 

Planning for recovery

Recovery begins from the day of admission

Our focus is on helping individuals build resilience, develop independence and prepare for life beyond hospital. Through structured therapeutic support, regular reviews and collaborative discharge planning, wE work towards reducing restrictions and supporting successful transitions back into the community whenever appropriate.

 

Referrals


We welcome early discussions with commissioners and referrers to explore whether a Bespoke Care Placement is the right option.

Following a comprehensive clinical assessment, our team will determine whether we can safely meet the individual’s needs and develop a personalised package of care.
