Life Carstenview Visiting Hours

Carstenview does not publish set visiting times. It is a 60-bed short-stay mental health facility on the Carstenhof site, and visits are arranged with the ward around the treatment programme rather than to a fixed timetable. Phone 011 655 5519 and ask for the unit. Day patients attend treatment programmes without being admitted, so if you are bringing someone in for the day, ask about parking and drop-off when you call.
