Pre & Post Inpatient Stay Support
At MindUnity, we understand that navigating an inpatient admission, whether for mental health treatment or addiction recovery, can be a challenging and overwhelming experience. That’s why we offer specialist support both before and after an inpatient stay, ensuring a smoother transition and greater continuity of care.
Pre-Inpatient Support: Preparing for Admission
Entering inpatient treatment can bring uncertainty, but early intervention and structured preparation can make all the difference. Our pre-admission support includes:
Comprehensive Assessment – A registered mental health nurse will evaluate current needs, challenges, and goals to help individuals enter treatment feeling prepared and supported.
Practical & Emotional Preparation – We offer guidance on what to expect during inpatient care, addressing anxieties and ensuring a clear plan is in place.
Stabilisation & Crisis Prevention – For those awaiting admission, we provide intensive home support to help reduce distress, manage symptoms, and prevent deterioration.
Family & Carer Support – Loved ones often need reassurance and practical advice. We provide guidance to help families understand the process and offer meaningful support.
Post-Inpatient Support: A Seamless Transition Home
Returning home after an inpatient stay can feel daunting, and without the right follow-up care, many individuals struggle to maintain progress. Our post-discharge support is designed to bridge the gap between inpatient care and independent living, reducing the risk of relapse or readmission. This includes:
Ongoing Mental Health Nursing Support – Regular home visits from an experienced nurse to provide clinical care, medication management, and emotional support.
Relapse Prevention & Recovery Planning – We work with individuals to develop long-term strategies that promote stability and resilience beyond inpatient care.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration – We liaise with consultants, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure a joined-up, consistent approach to care.
Gradual Reintegration & Practical Support – We assist individuals in rebuilding daily routines, engaging with their community, and accessing additional support services.
Family & Carer Involvement – Loved ones play a crucial role in long-term recovery. We provide education, reassurance, and practical guidance to help them offer effective support.
