Kenton Lodge
Cygnet Lodge Kenton, in North-West London, offers a flexible mental health rehabilitation pathway for women. We primarily offer High-Support Inpatient Rehabilitation (Level 2) with the option to step down to Community Rehabilitation (Level 1). This dual-level rehabilitation model ensures that women receive the support they need while developing independence at their own pace. Women placed with us often come from multiple placement breakdowns, failed treatment programmes or are stepping down from secure settings. Our service provides a high level of support and uses a recovery-focused model.
We can support up to 15 women who are ready to step down from short or longer-term mental health and/or forensic services. We aim to equip the women in our care with the skills they need to live successfully in the community, therefore reducing the likelihood of requiring future inpatient admissions. Our service provides a high level of support and uses a recovery-focused model.
As a small satellite unit, we have a close multi-disciplinary team who work together to ensure all aspects of our programme and service run smoothly and promote high standards of care. We also have a strong focus on empowerment and coproduction with our service users and carers.
