What is Manannan Court?

Manannan Court is a service for men and women who are experiencing a relapse or crisis of their mental health and wellbeing and who require an inpatient admission. It is a place where people can receive treatment, support and care to help them recover as quickly as possible. 

Manannan Court is part of the Department of Health and Social Care, Mental Health Service. It consists of two inpatient wards for people who are experiencing acute mental health problems. 

The two wards are: 

1. Harbour Suite - Adult Ward
2. Glen Suite - Older Persons' Ward

There is also a de-escalation area called the Cushag Suite. 

Manannan Court is divided into three zones. This helps us to promote everyone's safety, privacy and dignity. The different zones are:

• Private - for example, the wards and bedrooms - usually only patients and staff can access these areas
• Semi-private - for example, the upper ground floor - patients and staff can access these areas as well as some visitors
• Public - for example, the main entrance, reception, café, visitors' area

Crisis Response Home Treatment Team (CRHTT)

The Crisis Response Home Treatment team are also part of the Acute Services and are based in Manannan Court. The CRHTT work closely with the inpatient suites and act as gatekeepers to the inpatient beds enabling shorter inpatient admissions. They also offer home treatment as an alternative to hospital admission.

Safety and Security

Manannan Court operates a controlled access system to all entrance and exit doors within the open ward areas. This is one of the measures the service takes to minimise risk to patients, staff and visitors. 

Controlled access allows ward staff to ascertain who is attempting to gain entry or exit to the wards and also make an assessment as to whether or not they should be permitted in or out the ward areas. All visitors to the ward are met by a member of the ward team.

Car parking

There is visitor parking available at the main public entrance to Manannan Court. There is also public transport near to Manannan Court. Please ask on the ward for the time table.

Disabled Access

Manannan Court is fully functional for disabled access including car park spaces, automatic door access, disabled toilet and loop hearing system.
