Ailsa Hospital is a small hospital run by NHS Ayrshire and Arran in North Ayrshire, Scotland. It is located in the southeastern outskirts of Ayr.[1][2]
History
In 1864, the Dundee-based architectural practice Edward and Robertson won the commission to build the hospital. Construction began in 1868, opening on 28 July 1869 as the Ayrshire District Asylum. The total cost of building the 230 bed hospital was £57,000. Over the years many additions and modifications have been made to the original building.[3][4][5]
The hospital has also been known as the Glengall District Asylum, Glengall House. It has been known as the Ailsa Hospital since 1958.[2][3][5]
Services
The hospital provides inpatient, outpatient and residental services, principally for South Ayrshire. It specialises in areas of mental health, psychiatry, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, non-acute rehabilitative care, addictions assessment and elderly mental health services. The hospital has a 52 bed Intensive Physiatric Care Unit, where patients in short and long term care have individual rooms, personalised care plans, and access to a kitchen and garden.[1][2]
