The site was a psychiatric service centre until 2013, when the services were removed from Ballinasloe and consolidated in Galway City.

Currently the majority of the campus is vacant, with the poor condition of the buildings a major concern to locals.

Oak Grove House is the last operational building on site and provides mental health care for people with an intellectual disability.
