About
River View is a residential service run by Cygnet Health Care on Victoria Embankment in Darlington, with three registered beds. It supports men with neuropsychiatric or neurodegenerative conditions, including those who may display behaviours that challenge and who have wider social and complex needs. The service acts as a step between inpatient neuropsychiatric rehabilitation and independent community living, with an emphasis on taking part in social and domestic activities.
Residents continue to receive psychiatric, psychological and occupational therapy, along with support from support workers, as their needs require. Accommodation is in apartments, each with a bedroom and en suite bathroom, a kitchen and dining area, and a living room. The service's recorded client groups are dementia and mental health.
