Cygnet Hospital Wyke is an inpatient mental health hospital provided by Cygnet Health Care Limited. The service provides care to a maximum of 31 male patients. There are two wards:
- Phoenix ward is an Acute service for men with 19 beds, all of which were occupied at the time of this visit.
- Bennu ward is a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) service for men with 12 beds, 6 of which were occupied at the time of this visit.
Cygnet Hospital Wyke has been registered with Care Quality Commission (CQC) since November 2010. The hospital is registered to carry out the following regulated activities:
- Treatment of disease, disorder or injury
- Assessment or medical treatment of persons detained under the Mental Health Act 1983.
CQC last carried out a comprehensive inspection of this service on 26 to 28 November 2024. At that inspection we rated the service as ‘good’ across all five key questions. At the time of our last inspection, the service provided care across three wards for male patients. Kingfisher and Phoenix wards provided the acute services for men and Bennu ward provided the psychiatric intensive care service. The provider had since closed Kingfisher ward, and the ward was not in use at the time of our inspection.
In June 2026 we were informed by the provider of their plans to close a nearby hospital site, Cygnet Lodge Brighouse, and transfer its long stay or rehabilitation mental health ward for working age adults provision to the vacant space of Kingfisher ward at Cygnet Hospital Wyke. This assessment of Cygnet Hospital Wyke reflects our findings at the time of our inspection when this service was not yet operational and the hospital provided care through the acute and PICU wards, Phoenix ward and Bennu ward, only.
We assessed this service from 29 to 30 April 2026. Following this assessment, we rated the service as good. Patients and carers spoke highly of the service. They told us the care delivered by staff felt safe and supportive. The service was recovery-oriented and took a multidisciplinary approach where professionals genuinely implemented suggestions by their colleagues from other disciplines when working with patients. Patient and clinical areas were clean, well maintained, and developed with patient input.
