When will you leave Mountbatten Isle of Wight's inpatient unit?

The inpatient unit is not a long-term care facility. Our multi-professional team will collaborate with you and your family to help you reach the point where your symptoms and needs can be managed at home. You may receive continued support from the Mountbatten at home team.

If returning home is not possible, or additional support is required, we will explore and discuss alternative options with you and your family.
