Ash Villa is a 15-bed ward, which provides support for women who are experiencing a severe, short-term episode of mental ill health and who cannot be safely supported by community-based services.

It is managed by the Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and aims to reduce the number of patients having to travel outside of Lincolnshire for hospital care.
