Cygnet was established in 1988, with the opening of Tupwood Gate and Tabley House Nursing Homes. Whilst admiring the cast iron drain pipes at Tabley House, the founders discovered a pattern on the pipes – baby swans namely Cygnets. The name Cygnet was born.
The following year we opened our first mental health hospitals; Cygnet Hospital Harrogate and Cygnet Hospital Godden Green. Over the years, the company grew our specialist mental health division, hospital by hospital, developing new facilities organically.
Since then we have developed a wide range of behavioural health services for young people and adults within the UK.
In 2014, we announced our acquisition by Universal Health Services Inc., one of the largest and most respected Health Care providers in the USA. Since then, we have grown further, following the acquisitions of Orchard Portman in 2015, the Alpha Hospitals Group in 2016, CAS Behavioural Health (formerly the Adult Services Division of the Cambian Group) in 2017 and the Danshell Group in 2018.
Our Clinical Vision
Cygnet’s aim is to provide the highest quality care to our Service Users and Residents at all times, regardless of where they are in their care pathway.
We are committed to providing the highest quality and most effective care possible.
We aim to achieve this through our highly trained and motivated staff working in partnership with Service Users, Residents, their friends and relatives, our Commissioners, and Regulatory Bodies.
As a national care provider, with a network of professional and high quality services across the UK, we are able to offer solutions and work in partnership with the NHS, ICBs and local authorities to provide the services they need including emergency and planned admissions. Alongside this we are able to provide robust and quality data and CQUIN reporting.
We have over 35 years’ experience in providing specialist mental health treatment, rehabilitation and support in service user focused environments that provide evidenced, quality health care in national and regional care pathways. We’re proud of genuinely leading in service user involvement and being focused on proven clinical outcomes driven by the extensive therapeutic programmes in all of our hospitals.
And as part of the UHS family of health care services, Cygnet continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of service users, their families and carers and those who commission our services.
