We have received supportive care for my brother during his long term mental ill health during his present episode. Resources have obviously been stretched during these covid times and we understand this. Staff are always polite and courteous and try to help him when he allows. Progress is slow due to the nature of his condition, but we still hope that he will recover despite all the complications we have all had to face. We have been involved as family and Carers since the outset and like to think we have formed a bond between staff and ourselves due to openness and honesty in our efforts to help my brother. Obviously there are ups and downs, times when frustrations and tiredness make things seem more difficult for us all but the staff can be depended upon for support and do their best. Long term illness can have a ripple effect on patients families which is when support is even more important. I would like to thank the staff for their efforts in this distressing time. Lets us hope inner strength will help us towards a positive outcome and good health once more. Omicron in the ward delays progress further and prevents us from visiting we continue to voluntarily follow good practices to protect patients, staff and other visitors and hope to see the ward open again soon. We support the staff in their efforts.
