[0] => Lake Alice Hospital was a psychiatric hospital located in Rangatiki, Manawatu-Whanganui, New Zealand. It opened in August 1950 and aimed to lessen crowding of Porirua Mental Hospital and elsewhere in the North Island.

The National Security Unit (Maximum Security Villa) opened in 1965 and was the last area of the hospital to close in 1999. Lake Alice Psychiatric Hospital was one of the investigation focuses of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in State Care in 2019-2023
