It will be a 22 bedded unit for people aged 45 and over, although they will accept younger patients. They will be patients who suffer from dementia, other mental health and behavioural difficulties.
Just wondered what others thought of this idea? I don't have a problem with mental health, I know what stigma is attached to it as i'm training to be a nurse, but what worries me is that it is directly across from my sons school.
I can't really type the whole letter as its 2 pages long, but if anyone has any questions and the answer is in the letter I will post it.

There used to be that massive hospital up near Whalley was it Brockhall? Just done a search and it was closed in 1992
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brockhall,_Lancashire Anyway we once went on a school trip bit odd place for a school trip, I can't even recall what class it was we went with but it was for educational purposes. It was a massive place - should have kept places like that open as it was out in the country side. Don't think it's right to have a place like this in confined space - should be in the open with more grounds round it.
