Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust

Townlands memorial hospital provides rehabilitation and palliative care for people who no longer require the services of an acute hospital but require greater support than currently provided in their home environment.

The hospital has a dedicated team of nurses, occupational therapists and physiotherapists and is supported by medical teams. Staff work closely with social services to source care placements and liaise with other care agencies.

In addition to its inpatient beds, the hospital has a Minor Injuries Unit (MIU), a range of outpatient clinics (provided by Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust) and X-ray facilities (provided by Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust), and a rapid access care unit.

Laundry

We are unable to provide a laundry service for patients at our community hospitals. However, in exceptional circumstances we may be able to help.

Money and valuables

We advise that you do not bring large sums of money or valuables into the hospital.  If you cannot avoid this your admitting nurse can arrange for their safe keeping and will give you a receipt.  We regret that community hospitals cannot accept any liability for money, valuables or property that are not handed over for safe-keeping.

Smoking

All community hospitals operate a no smoking policy.  We provide a smoke-free environment for your health, other people’s health and the general safety of all.  If you do smoke and wish to take this opportunity to stop please ask your team for further information.

If you are living at home then you can be referred to the hospital by your GP. If you are already in another NHS hospital, then you can be referred by that hospital via a centralised team. You cannot refer yourself to a Townlands hospital.

If you are feeling unwell, please contact your GP.

Visiting hours at the hospital are from 2.30pm – 5.15pm and 6.15pm – 8pm.
