What does the eating disorders daycare programme for adults at Schoen Clinic York include?
Our adult daycare programme in York offers a structured environment in which patients receive access to our multidisciplinary team of eating disorder specialists and therapy services as well as meals, snacks and social interaction.
Many individuals with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED) struggle with emotional and cognitive challenges that make it difficult to manage their symptoms on their own.
One key advantage of our adult daycare treatment for eating disorders is the opportunity for participants to receive comprehensive care in a supportive environment.
​
Adults on the daycare programme for eating disorders at Schoen Clinic York attend our highly specialised hospital for a set number of full or half days each week to receive support and therapy from our specialists. This type of specialised therapy is especially beneficial for those with eating disorders who still need some ongoing, structured therapy but don't need 24-hour or inpatient care.
​
Our private treatment programme for adults with eating disorders is recommended when people require more intensive help to overcome the impact of disordered eating. This might be at the start of an eating disorder or later on in the journey when intensive support can be used to break bad habits that families have struggled with for some time.
What can I expect from the specialised daycare programme for adults with eating disorders?
A day service timetable would be individualised based on a bespoke package, focused on the patient's needs rather than a set timetable.
Each patient generally utilises the day service during the working week. The service lead would meet with the patient and together explore what the package might look like, identifying how many days are required and if the following inputs are appropriate;
-
Individual therapy
-
Individual Occupational Therapy
-
Dietetic input (via Dietitian and/or Assistant Dietitian) – this could provide a meal plan, meal support, batch cooking, shopping support and frequency is assessed.
-
Therapy groups – LEAP (for exercising problems), DBT (for support around managing emotions), MANTRA (eating disorder specific), CRAFT and Relapse Prevention (planning for discharge).
Day service aims to support patients with weight restoration and support them to feel able to manage without day service support.
The service would benefit patients motivated to work with us to discover a shared vision for the future.
The day service utilises the Recovery Record App which allows patients to upload their meals with commentary which our team can review as another support tool, supporting patients with accountability when they are at home.
What eating disorders do we treat in our highly specialised daycare programme for adults in York?

​
We also offer leading eating disorder treatments for other forms of disordered eating that present in a number of ways.
Who can benefit from the adult eating disorder daycare programme in York?
Those who may be diagnosed with complex or severe eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, can access our specialised private daycare programme for adults with eating disorders. Our team at Schoen Clinic York often welcomes adults on the eating disorders daycare programme as a step-down from inpatient treatment or when outpatient support is insufficient.
The service is intended for anyone who wants to go towards full bio, psychosocial, and eating disorder recovery. The daycare programme includes evidence-based group and one-on-one therapy, occupational therapy, active dietary rehabilitation, and key working.
The majority of patients who take part in the adult daycare programme seek complete weight restoration, however, some may already be at a healthy weight but have complex mental health needs. Adults in the daycare programme at Schoen Clinic York often go to therapy sessions one to five days a week (full or half-day). Depending on the particular requirements of each patient, this may vary from case to case.
Patients will participate in one-on-one sessions, group therapy sessions, and self-managed duties (including grocery shopping and meal preparation) while receiving guidance from our adult daycare specialists.
Your bespoke treatment and recovery plan at Schoen Clinic York will be personalised based on your unique needs and the level of assistance you require.
