Notice: To help protect our patients, visitors, and staff, we are temporarily suspending visitation for most patients. Limited visitation is available for long-term patients. We understand how important it is for you and our patients to spend time together. This is a decision we do not take lightly, but everyone’s health and safety are our primary goals. We will resume full visitation as soon as it is determined to be in everyone’s best interest.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact your loved one’s social worker.
Eastern State Hospital provides recovery-focused, individualized inpatient acute care mental health services in a modern, comfortable setting. Managed by UK HealthCare, the state-owned facility opened in 2013.
We provide acute psychiatric care for adults (age 18 and over) with severe and persistent mental illness who live in the 50 counties surrounding and including Fayette County, Ky.
Our staff promotes an individual’s recovery, wellness and transition to the community. Individuals are evaluated in our Admissions Department, and those who meet the legal criteria for hospitalization are admitted.
