Tyn-y-Coed

The hospital consists of a seven-bedded main house and a four-bedded annex. All have communal and private living space. There is also an independent flat within the main house. The hospital is set in attractively landscaped gardens, with scenic views. A secluded courtyard provides outdoor seating in a private setting.

The care at the hospital is delivered by qualified nurses and support workers with support from the multi-disciplinary team. Tyn-Y-Coed promotes Craegmoors’ communication strategy called “Your Voice” which ensures that each individual, based on their preferred method of communication, is able to have a voice on how their supported care is provided. Monthly service user meetings are held where individuals are able to represent the views and voices of fellow service users. This is extended to a voice at area, divisional and national level. Tyn-Y-Coed liaises with families, community organisations, social services departments and purchasing authorities to support Person Centred Care Planning, and ensures full account is taken of social, emotional, cultural and spiritual needs of all individuals.

Tyn-y-Coed utilises all local amenities; pubs, churches, cinemas, shops and leisure centres and the clients help plan their own time in the community. Our Occupational Therapy Assistant ensures that there is a wide range of rehabilitation skills and also a varied activity program allowing greater scope for the client to be re-integrated into the community. The centre has its own football pitch and three patio areas all of which are part of the secure surroundings.
