Patients referred typically experience severe behavioural disturbance with challenging behaviour. Patients may have a history of disengagement with mental and physical health services.

They require a longer period of inpatient admission to stabilise their mental health, and support to optimise their level of functioning back in the community. The patients at The Willows may be resident for up to 15 months as part of their rehabilitation programme.

The length of admission can vary, but patients may be admitted for up to 24 months as part of their rehabilitation care pathway. The unit caters for adults with a learning disability who have mental health problems, pervasive developmental disorders, cognitive problems, offending history and challenging behaviour.

It provides longer stay rehabilitation as step down into the community, as well as assessment and treatment for acute presentations. The provider for Lot 4 may, on occasion, be required to visit a service user at one of the Learning Disability Short Break units based on the Glenfield Hospital site (This would be within the allocated session for the Agnes Unit).

The LD Short Break Units provide respite care for individuals with a learning disability and health needs, assessed through a continuing care assessment. The units provide planned stays throughout the year to individuals who live at home with families, in order to facilitate a break for the carers and also provide a therapeutic opportunity for service users.
