The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre (also known as Royal Ottawa Hospital, Royal Hospital or ROH) is a 207-bed mental health facility located in Ottawa, Canada which began operation in 1961. It acts as a teaching hospital for the University of Ottawa. It is now in a new building but at the same location.
The in-patient portion of the hospital is composed of 9 units: Geriatrics (North and South), Schizophrenia, Mood and Anxiety, Substance Use and Concurrent Disorders. Intensive Assessment, Youth, Forensic Assessment and Forensic Rehabilitation. Treating clients in and out of the community. The ROHCG conforms to new age psychiatry practices, using both new methods of establishing staff-client relationships and discarding those that have become obsolete.[citation needed]
The ROHCG no longer uses straight-jackets or isolation rooms.[citation needed]
The Royal Ottawa is a new generation hospital featuring a multi-disciplinary team of Social Workers, Nurses, Doctors, Personal Support Workers and Orderlies. Each staff member has received mandatory training in CPR, Crisis Prevention Institution and Lifts and Transfers Training.[citation needed]
The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Care Group is among the first in Canada to have a Client Empowerment Council. Allowing clients the chance to voice their concerns to improve their care and future prospects.[citation needed]
