Mental Health
Peartree House provides person centred rehabilitation and recovery community services.
Set in Bitterne, a suburb of Southampton, close to community amenities, it includes a 9 bed slow-stream adult mental health rehabilitation and recovery unit alongside step down flats and bungalows. All accommodation provides a homely environment and 2 bedrooms that are safer for those in distress.
The slow stream mental health rehabilitation service provides time limited interventions (up to 3 years) and gives individuals the opportunity to achieve goals, increase their independence and ensure that they do not lose any of the gains they have already made before returning into the wider community.
The Step down units provides people with an opportunity to live more independently and test their skills whilst being supported by the MDT. This confidence building part of the pathway further aims to consolidate the skills developed by the individual and also provide funders with information to consider as part of discharge planning to the wider community.
Our Care
Our service is about supporting personal recovery journeys for people with mental health needs through rehabilitation in a community setting.
We will aim to achieve this by:
- Providing a whole system approach to recovery from mental ill health
- Maximizing an individual's quality of life and social inclusion by encouraging their skills, promoting independence and autonomy
- Giving hope for the future which will lead to successful community living through appropriate support
Our Approach
- Local and community based and focused service
- Personal goal plans informed by the individual`s wishes
- Promotion of mental health and safety
- Social and vocation based interventions that address stigma and exclusion i.e. participation in mainstream community activities such as leisure, work experience, volunteering, training etc
- Creative positive risk taking
- Re-enabling people to re-learn skills necessary for daily lives
- Timely reviews based on individual needs and progress

Our Outcomes - Measuring Progress
For us the main outcomes are individuals achieving their goals. We know that this matters most to people.
Service outcomes
The service will also demonstrate achievement in social and independence life skills
We will also aim to make an impact on inclusion and a contribution towards reducing the stigma of mental illness in the wider community. To that end we will work collaborative with organisations that represent individuals experiencing mental ill health.
Step Down Facilities
As part of the rehabilitation and recovery pathway, the service has bedsit flats and bungalows. These Step Down units provide people with an opportunity to live more independently and to test their skills whilst being supported by the MDT. This confidence building part of the pathway further aims to consolidate the skills developed by the individual and also provides funders with information to consider as part of discharge planning to the wider community.
The support provided to individuals will be personalised to their needs and may include interventions such as medication monitoring, vocational training, independent living skills etc.
