 HealthLinc
House provides individual packages of care for people with learning
disabilities who have mental health needs and may exhibit challenging
behaviour.
Registered as an Independent Hospital the facility offers a consistently
high standard of environmental quality in small domestic style
accommodation where specialist support is offered based on the
assessed needs of the individual.
Our aim is to work in partnership with the public sector and identified
stakeholders to provide highly specialised and individual packages
of care based on individual assessments and care programmes to
enhance the lives and independence of our patients.
  Our
philosophy is one of inclusion and empowerment where people are
actively encouraged to participate and contribute to the decision
making process which affects their daily lives.
The accommodation offers domestic style living in thirteen one,
two, three, four, five and six bedded single sex apartments. All
bedrooms are single with a range of en-suite facilities and are
furnished to a high standard.
In addition, there is
a two-bedded bungalow within the grounds offering the opportunity
of continuing rehabilitation in a more independent environment.
Each apartment offers kitchen, bathroom, dining room and sitting
room facilities allowing integrated small group living where the
individual’s right to privacy, independence, choice and dignity
are respected and encouraged. Within the larger complex there are
custom built day activity units which are independently staffed,
together with consulting rooms and a fully equipped conference facility.
The hospital has a range of on-site transport to facilitate home
visits and encourage community access.
 HealthLinc
House promotes the principles of “an ordinary life”
we encourage community presence and participation, increase independence
and empowerment and also create opportunities to develop relationships
and friendships, ensuring individual needs are met in a safe and
empathetic environment.
Packages of care are developed based on individual assessments
and are subject to regular review.
 Everyone
living at HealthLinc House is given the opportunity to develop personally
and experience increasing opportunities and capabilities. We support
patients to exercise choice in making both major life and day to
day decisions. Meaningful activity is a key element in a fulfilled
life, patients are encouraged and supported to participate in a
variety of activities both on-site and in the wider community. These
typically will include further education, work and college placements,
social skills development, horse riding, swimming, nature preservation
and horticulture.
With the benefit of the proximity to the centre of Welton, a busy
village with a thriving community atmosphere, local outings include
visits to cafes and shops as well as use of the nearby golf course
and cycle rides in the local countryside and villages. Amongst the
on-site facilities are a craft workshop, dedicated day-activity
unit, multi-sensory room, gymnasium, horticulture area, beauty therapy
room, and music and movement sessions. Tutors from local colleges
also visit to facilitate courses ranging from Information Technology,
to Literacy and Numeracy.
Holidays to seaside resorts and holiday parks are regularly organised
for many of our patients, and day trips out embrace educational,
cultural and leisure activities. |
