MILDMAY OAKS, PRIORY GROUP

Mildmay Oaks offers in-patient rehabilitation services for men and women with learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs). The 39-bed unit has both low-secure and high-secure facilities.

Operated by The Priory Group, the unit aims to support patients with community-based activities so they can progress through their care pathway towards a community-based placement.  Creating a domestic-looking environment was key to this – and the client and designers chose our doorsets throughout.

Creating a bright, welcoming space

A stunning feature of this unit is the large atrium, off which many of the bedrooms are located. This creates a central focal and meeting point in the unit where service users can socialise. It also uses natural sunlight as a design feature – helping create a welcoming, uplifting recovery environment.

Providing full training

On many doorset projects, we manage the specification and installation training to ensure the project is on-time and at our high-quality standard. This included onsite training with members of the clinical and estate teams before the unit was reopened.
