ABOUT US
Pathfinder was founded by clinicians with the aim of providing the best possible care to people with complex mental health needs.
With the backing of social impact investors, Pathfinder has been able to reimagine how mental health services are designed and delivered. We put the individual first in everything we do.
This means placing their needs at the heart of all decisions, focusing on recovery and providing the most effective, least intrusive interventions.
As part of a pathway of care, Ashness House will provide person-centred inpatient care to people with complex severe mental health conditions. We have specialist high-dependency beds to support individuals who may have greater needs due to aggression, agitation and other complex needs.
Under a recovery pathway, a multidisciplinary team consisting of Consultant Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Nurses and Recovery Workers will enable individuals to live safe, independent lives.
We are able to accept referrals from the community, stepping down from secure settings or transfers from out of area placements
