Newtondale ward is a 15-bed low secure forensic rehabilitation ward for men. It has an average admission length between 12-18 months. After this period we aim to discharge people to suitable alternative accommodation that suits their needs.

Philosophy of care

The philosophy of care adopts a holistic approach. It is based on the principle that you are an individual and have the right to receive appropriately skilled, multiprofessional care in an environment which minimises the risk of harm from yourself and from others.

Daily routine

Newtondale Ward has a seven-day activity programme. Our activity lead will also arrange and plan ward-based activities for the day, a copy will be given to you with this leaflet. 

Our activities on the ward include film clubs, board games, ward cooking and baking, health and fitness, arts and crafts and more. If there is anything else, you would like to do please let us know.

We have a motivational meeting each evening and staff will let you know of any important information and discuss if you can plan any leave for the following day. 

 Meals and drinks

We provide three meals per day, always with a variety of choice. The weekly menus are on display in the dining room and alternate each week. You are also able to have your own snacks.

If you have any special dietary requirements (such as diabetic, vegetarian or cultural) we will inform the catering service. 

The ward operates protected mealtimes, to make sure you have your meal with limited disruption. We therefore ask that professionals and carers avoid contacting the ward at mealtimes where possible.
