I have visited Millbrook several times over the past two months to support a friend. If I had not agreed to go with her she would not have gone. I was excited because she agreed to go but I felt the treatment I got when I got there was disgusting. On each unit I stood up to introduce myself and the staff on one occasion almost pushed my hand aside and then walked past me to speak to my friend. Another visit, the staff, both times looked through me as if I wasn't there. I went home thinking how disgusted I was at how I had been treated.
I do not know what the staff was thinking, all I know is I was there to encourage a friend to go for treatment. I did not say or do anything at the time as I was not going to make a fuss as my friend was trying to cope with her own stuff without another issue appearing. Was I being judged? I don't know!
Respect would have been nice. 3 visits and 3 disrespectful staff, NOT GOOD!
