Forget Me Not Unit Mental Health Treatment Services
The unit provides inpatient care only for older adults, which is the single level recorded for this site, focused specifically on dementia and associated mental health needs rather than a general adult population. It is not an outpatient or community service.
Admission generally follows an assessment of dementia or related mental health needs, with nursing and medical care provided on the ward itself; families considering a referral should speak to Sussex Partnership directly about what admission here would involve for their relative.

Is Treatment at Forget Me Not Unit Free?
As an NHS ward, care at Forget Me Not Unit is funded publicly through Sussex Partnership rather than charged to families, in line with its role delivering commissioned dementia and older-adult mental health services. There is no fee attached to an NHS admission here.
A privately funded dementia care placement elsewhere would carry its own market pricing, which can vary considerably by provider and the level of nursing support needed, so families exploring that route should approach private providers directly. Sussex Partnership can advise on NHS funding for a specific referral.
