New NHS mental health centre opens its doors in Wesham, Lancashire, as Eric Wright Construction completes the refurbishment of Wesham Rehabilitation Centre
The refurbished Wesham Rehabilitation Centre will be run by the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust (LSCft) and is based at the former Wesham Hospital Rehabilitation site on Mowbreck Lane.
Wesham Rehabilitation Centre can accommodate 28 people and includes treatment rooms, living space, therapy gardens and community café at the entrance.
Wesham Rehabilitation Centre will help lead people towards happier and more fulfilling lives
The mental health centre will offer service users a holistic approach including learning opportunities that help lead people towards happier and more fulfilling lives with the opportunity to regain skills and confidence with everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning and looking after their own health and wellbeing.
Mental health rehab and recovery transformation work
The project, which has been managed between LSCft, Healthcare Support and Infrastructure Services (HSIS), Frank Whittle and contractors Eric Wright Construction, is an integral part to the Trust’s mental health rehab and recovery transformation work.
Joanna Stark, director of operations for Fylde Coast said: “I am really proud to have been involved in the Wesham project.
“Everyone has come together to finally make the Rehabilitation Centre a reality, it’s been a real team effort.
“It’s just the start of our journey together and we are looking forward to working closely with the local community.”
‘Proud to have been able to help transform this building into such a valuable community resource’
James Eager from Eric Wright Construction added: “This is another fabulous health resource for the people of Preston and it is great to see the fit out complete and the building ready for use.
“We are bringing forward many health and community projects across the region for the NHS which are helping to enrich people’s lives from GP surgeries to diagnostic units and we’re very proud to have been able to help transform this building into such a valuable community resource.”
