Expert mental health care for older people
A specialist mental health care model designed to help older people live with greater wellbeing, dignity and purpose.
At Orchard Healthcare Group, we believe every older person deserves a life filled with meaning, joy and connection. We’re proud to be the first provider of specialist mental health care, tailored to the person. Our groundbreaking model of mental health care has been carefully designed to support and nurture your loved one’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Our holistic, inclusive approach allows us to deliver exceptional, personalised support that places happiness and dignity at the heart of everything we do.
Ground-breaking mental health care
Reconnect is designed for older adults living with mental health conditions whose needs have become more complex, or who need more support than a standard care setting can provide. It offers specialist, age-appropriate care focused on emotional wellbeing, stability, dignity and meaningful daily life.
Our specialist mental health care homes combine personalised support, trained teams and thoughtfully designed environments that help people feel safe, understood and more connected. Every care plan is shaped around the individual, their history, routines, preferences and what helps them live well.
Reconnect is designed for older adults whose mental health needs are affecting daily life, wellbeing or independence, and who would benefit from more specialist support than a standard care setting can provide.
Our communities support people living with a range of conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, delirium and substance use disorders.
It can be the right next step when current support no longer feels enough, or when someone needs a more personalised, age-appropriate and therapeutic environment.
Families often explore Reconnect when they notice:
“When a loved one moves into care, it’s hard to put your feelings into words. My husband has now been here for around a year and he always looks clean, smart and well cared for.
The staff are so friendly and always there to lift your spirits. On our wedding anniversary, they made sure we had a day full of special memories. I cannot thank them enough.”
Specialist mental health care
Warm, welcoming spaces designed to provide comfort, reduce distress and support routine, confidence and wellbeing.
Colleagues receive expert training through our Orchard Academy, building the skills needed to support older adults with mental health needs.
Care is shaped around the individual, including their history, routines, preferences, strengths and changing needs.
Residents are encouraged to enjoy hobbies, purposeful activity, social connection and routines that bring structure and joy.
We actively support people to remain as independent as possible, helping build confidence, routine and stability.
Our focus is on understanding what helps each person feel safe and well, creating calmer days with less distress and greater wellbeing.
A day in a Reconnect: Mental Health community
Life in a Reconnect community focuses on helping people feel well, valued and in control of everyday life. With the right support, many people regain confidence, rebuild routine and enjoy greater independence in a safe, welcoming environment.
Days are shaped around the individual. Some people enjoy activity, social connection and shared experiences, while others benefit from quieter time, gentle encouragement and one-to-one support. Our role is to help each person move forward in the way that feels right for them.
The benefits of specialist mental health care
A dedicated model designed for older adults with mental health needs, supported by trained teams who understand later-life care.
Reconnect is among the UK’s first specialist care home models created specifically for people aged 65+ with mental health needs.
Care is shaped around the person’s history, routines, preferences, strengths and what helps them feel at their best.
We help people build confidence, maintain routines and stay as independent as possible each day.
We focus on purpose, wellbeing, enjoyment and connection, not simply meeting practical needs.
Families are listened to, involved and supported throughout the care journey, with confidence that their loved one is in safe hands.
