The previous 30-bed, 9,300 SF mental health unit was severely outdated. It housed patients only in multi-bedrooms and had shared toilet and shower rooms. The new 34-bed unit is now 23,000 SF, more than two times the size of the previous unit and provides modern standards of care in private and semi-private rooms all with private toilet and bathing facilities. Also, a separate, secure unit for female patients has also been provided. All the spaces were designed to minimize the risk of patient suicide and to enhance patient and staff security.
