Patients can also present with pre-morbid mental health conditions and addiction history. St Neots is registered as a hospital and can detain patients under the Mental Health Act as well as support patients with a Deprivation of Liberty and those able to stay informally.

For many neurodegenerative conditions our care pathways reduce the impact the disease has on the individual and their family wherever possible using environmental cues, cognitive aids and a person centred approach.  We are able to provide support to those with a neurodegenerative diagnosis who require complex care due to physical, psychiatric, behavioural and psychological needs.

As part of the treatment approach we are able to identify strategies and equipment which can maximise independence, and reduce the impact of any deterioration that may occur as part of the disease.  It is likely that the individual will benefit from meaningful activity and interaction, even at the latter stages of their diagnosis and the therapeutic milieu is be tailored to reflect this.
