The Selden Centre

During the first week we'll explain why you are at the Selden Centre, what your rights are and what support is available to you. We'll hold an initial clinical meeting which will set what we'd like to achieve during your assessment period. We'll also give you a physical health assessment and work with you to create a care plan. You'll be allocated a named nurse who will help you to be involved in your assessments, care plans and decision making.

We believe that people with learning disabilities have the same rights as all members of society and that’s why we place the people who use our services at the heart of what we do. We'll work with you and your families or carers to develop the right care and treatment needs for you while you are in our care and when you leave our service.

Therapy area

We provide talking therapies, communication skills, and daily living skills. We have several areas where sessions will take place, allowing you to choose areas you feel most comfortable in. These include multi-purpose, quiet and sensory rooms, as well as communal areas.

Arts and creative sessions

Group and individual sessions are provided throughout the week and focus on daily living skills. 

Physical health and wellbeing programme

Full health assessments are given by our nursing staff and supported by our local GP service. Individual and group sessions are carried out to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Youwill leave the unit with a comprehensive health assessment and action plan.

We are always thrilled to receive compliments about our services and these mean a lot to our staff. However, if you disagree with something or wish to make a complaint please discuss this with a member of ward staff first. If you are not satisfied with an explanation or comments, please ask to meet with your ward manager to discuss the matter further. We also have a complaints team which is available Monday to Friday from 9.00am - 5.00pm.
