Located in Stroud, Althea Park cares for young adults with eating disorders and associated co-morbidities supported by nearby residential homes Ashleigh House and The Anchor. The environment is ideal for those who are leaving hospital or secure care and require a higher level of support that can’t be provided elsewhere.

We are a 7-bedded residential home for males and females, aged 17– 24. This provision is part of Priory’s Transitional Living Services for Young People and Young Adults, offering individuals the best possible care in their recovery journey.

Service overview

Our homes place focus on connection within the community and building skills for independence. This may involve gaining employment, voluntary work, accessing education, learning to drive or perhaps joining local clubs or groups. This all depends on the goals and motivation of the individual.

The individual will work closely with the multidisciplinary team to design and review bespoke care plans which focus on how to manage the symptoms of their eating disorder and other co-morbid diagnoses, alongside building skills for independence in the community. It is this ‘live’ approach to life skills that makes such a significant difference to a patient’s outcomes.
