Opening in winter 2025! As its construction progresses, the countdown is on to the opening of our exciting, new specialist acute mental health inpatient facility for adults with a learning disability in Whittingham, Preston.

Situated in green, tranquil space on our Guild Park site, Water Meadow View is part of a £32m investment and its name, chosen in partnership with service users, reflects its picturesque surroundings which are ideal for mental health recovery. As the only dedicated learning disability mental health facility in Lancashire and South Cumbria, it will mean those who need our support can get it closer to where they and their loved ones live.

The service will offer clinical excellence, support and safety, with patient-centred care at the heart. We are looking forward to welcoming patients, their carers and families.
