It was built in 1868, then called the Mental Hospital, and 76 patients were admitted. In 1925 there were 254 patients at the hospital with a further 65 at the nearby Home for the Poor.[1]

In 1948 there were 345 beds, and it had a farm and market gardens where patients worked. There was an annexe, Ard Aalin, for voluntary patients. It was renamed Ballamona Hospital on the establishment of the health service.[2]
