About Pilgrimage Short Stay Recovery Unit

We are a short stay recovery unit in Boston, Lincolnshire. People come to us for a short while rather than to live permanently, and that shapes everything about how we work. Those we support include older people, adults managing mental health conditions, and younger adults. Because our stays are short we have to be good at beginnings and good at endings. We find out in advance how a person communicates, what their routine is, what they eat, what unsettles them and what settles them again, because a few weeks gives us no time to learn it slowly. And we plan the leaving from close to the start, since a recovery period that ends with somebody going home unprepared has not achieved very much. Our aim is that people leave more able than they arrived rather than more looked after. So we support what somebody can do themselves and resist the pull towards doing everything because it is quicker, even though doing everything would be easier for us in the short weeks we have. We have not yet been given an overall rating by the Care Quality Commission, and we would rather state that plainly. Anyone considering us is welcome to visit and ask us whatever they want.
