Malsis Hall

Malsis Hall is a refurbished country house and estate that provides a Care Home with Nursing as well as being able to provide care home beds without Nursing. The accommodation is in small fully independent living suites along with more independent studio apartments. This provides a clear care pathway and gives various living and support options to match need, whilst enabling the individual to live in the least restrictive environment safely.

The service holistically supports people with complex mental health conditions on their journey to recovery and independence. We strive to provide quality care and support to enable the person to be as safe and independent as they possibly can be and that they have a clear care pathway back into the community if that meets their assessed needs.

We provide opportunities to develop and maintain skills and coping strategies needed for everyday life. We pride ourselves on early intervention and our pathway at Malsis Hall ensures the person builds and develops confidence enabling them to successfully progress down the various available living options on-site to living in the community.

We place emphasis on maximising quality of life and reducing admissions to hospital.

Our team has had a very positive experience of working with Malsis Hall staff during the transition of a patient from an out of area hospital bed to their service. The handover process and communication between all parties was an outstanding piece of work. We are also in the process of supporting another client to their service, and whilst there has been some recent difficulties in this, Malsis Hall staff have continued their professionalism in trying to find solutions to make it work for the client.

Local Care Co-Ordinator

I managed to see my client face to face last week and he is the best I have seen him. He sounded like he is greatly benefiting from the support of your team and I have not had any concerns raised from his family since he came to Malsis. I feel he is well placed and thanks for you and your teams support for my client.

Quotes from a Service User currently at Malsis Hall

“The suite was very well staffed the entire time. They had made sure they had got food that met my dietary and religious needs from the day I arrived.”

“Malsis Hall is different to most other care homes from the Registered Manager through to the Support Workers, Cleaner’s, Maintenance staff everybody knows your name.”

“Everybody gets along with each other despite their differences and there is the quiet lounge to escape to if everyone gets too much.”

“There are always staff around to assist you with cooking, laundry, take you for walks.”

“I think that it is symbolic of the ethos and environment they are trying to create at Malsis Hall – one of it being your home whilst ever you are here, a place that is honest and open and somewhere that each individual is cared for as a person – not a number.”
