"Rowan Ward"

About: Somerset NHS Foundation Trust

My mum left Rowan Ward Yeovil, after being taken there as a place of safety by concerned Police and only after 2 hours she had an assessment leaving her to get back to Taunton at 1am in the morning feeling desperately suicidal, luckily picked up by Police who were extremely helpful, as she was wondering aimlessly in the dark at 2am on a treacherous, notorious section of road known for accidents, God knows what they were thinking to let her out at this unsuitable hour, if not for the diligence of police it could of been a whole lot worse. Buck your ideas up Somerset Partnership NHS Trust its inhumane for vulnerable people to be left alone at a most ridiculous hour of the night unwell. It cannot be right.
