AdmissionS

At LIFEBRIDGE HOSPITAL mental health facilities we believe wholeheartedly that no one should walk the road to mental health alone, and we take our role as your partner and professional healthcare provider incredibly seriously.

The reality is that no amount of professional help or personal care will enable you to walk this path if you aren’t actively committed to it. Treatment involves a willingness on your part to talk honestly and openly, to engage loved ones about tough and often complex issues, to challenge yourself and your beliefs, and to open your mind and your heart to change. You need courage, determination, and motivation – and only you can provide that.

Once you have taken the decision to commit to treatment, the healthcare professionals at LIFEBRIDGE HOSPITAL will go out of their way to provide you with the best possible care along the way.

Admission is the first step, and involves an individual assessment during which you will be assigned both a psychiatrist and psychologist, who will work together throughout your stay at our facility to ensure that you embark upon the treatment plan that is best suited to your individual condition(s) and symptoms.

The initial assessment is conducted not only by the assigned psychiatrist and psychologist, but also by our specialist nursing staff to enable the formulation of a best-fit nursing care plan. The medical staff assess our client’s current clinical needs to determine which therapy program is most suitable for them for the duration of their stay at our mental health facility. The staff may also request blood samples for routine tests and screening.

Clients are expected to abide by the rules and protocols set in place by the LIFEBRIDGE HOSPITAL facility.

For more information on admission and visiting hours, please contact the administration department during working business hours. We look forward in hearing from you.
