At the Selden Centre we provide specialist inpatient care. Our mission is to help people with learning disabilities recover to play as full a life in society as possible.
That means planning what each person will need from us before they come through the door. It means getting to know them, caring for them, supporting them and working with them in a safe space. And it means helping them leave when it is safe for them to.
We’re a team of specialists including nurses, support workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational and speech and language therapists. We bring our skills together to provide people with the best possible care.
When people come to us they may be in crisis and at their most vulnerable. Our job is to help them get back on track. We treat everyone as an individual. That means getting to know them, taking time to understand their needs and thinking about how best to work with them and their families / carers.
We work with people on a day-to-day basis, making small steps towards recovery that can make a huge difference to their lives. We help people recover so they can play as full a life in society as possible.
