Castlemead adult social care mental health service celebrates official opening

11 October 2019

Cllrs Jasmine Ali and Kieron Williams joined council staff to celebrate the official opening of Castlemead, the new home for adult social care mental health services.

After the old 27 -29 Camberwell Road site was determined to be no longer fit for purpose, the new office puts in place smarter ways of working and everything has been designed with the aim of providing the best possible service to residents.

The new building brings together a number of key adult mental health services that provide both short term and longer term support.

For staff, the new site means improved open plan working spaces, improved technology and more comfortable working environment.  The new building is light, airy and a more comfortable environment than the previous location for this service.

The new building boasts a warm and inviting reception space, something that service users highlighted the need for during the consultation process. Many service users have commented on how much nicer the new reception space is.  There is also a variety and quantity of interview rooms to better meet needs of client groups and increase the frequency of visits.

Cllr Jasmine Ali, cabinet member for Children, Schools and Adult Care said: “I’m really happy to be here today to mark the official opening of Castlemead. It is a fantastic new site that will no doubt improve the service that we offer our residents. This new building highlights our commitment as a council to invest in our services to ensure they match the quality our residents expect and deserve.”
