Huntercombe Centre Sherwood
The Huntercombe Centre Sherwood is a specialist care home for men with mental health problems or learning disability and a history of challenging behaviour. Residents generally come to Sherwood as an alternative to being admitted to a locked rehabilitation service.
Some have a history of criminal offending or have an addiction. Some residents stay with us on a guardianship order or a supervised community treatment order.
We provide a structured, supportive environment to help individuals rehabilitate back into the community. Our aim is to help them to live a safe, fulfilling life.

Care at Huntercombe Centre Sherwood
Adult Mental Health
We make a careful assessment of your needs before you join us at Sherwood. We will talk to you and, where possible, your family, and draw up a care plan together.
We have four one-bedroomed flats at Sherwood, where you can learn again how to live independently, safe in the knowledge that there is 24-hour support close by.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation works best when we draw upon an individual’s own strength and skills.
It’s likely that psychiatrists, psychologists and occupational therapists will all play a part in your treatment. If getting a job or extra education would help, we help with that too.
Improvement
As you improve, and the risk you pose to others lessens, we gradually help you to reintegrate with the outside world.
