About Colaway Lane

Coalway Lane is a 20-bed Mental Health Rehabilitation and Recovery service supporting adults with complex mental health needs to live well and independently in the community. Rated by the CQC, our service looks and feels like a home, not a hospital, with modern detached houses where every resident has their own front door key and bedroom.

We work with a strengths-based, least restrictive approach, helping people build confidence, daily living skills, and resilience for community life.

Build therapeutic relationships
