"appalling care facilities for those in distress"

in november 2016 a friend , Dean Hufton had voluntarily admitted himself in to George Bryan centre in tamworth, as he had suffered from some form of psychotic episode which had led him to take an overdose, as he did not want to live any more. whilst in the care of George Bryan house, which everyone presumed would help him to understand the problem and to regulate his treatment, the opposite occurred and Dean was left to his own devices. George Bryan neglected to review his problem, which resulted in Dean only seeing a doctor 3 times since he was admitted...... on monday the 9th of january 2017 Dean was released back into the community, as the unit thought he was fit enough to return due to him making tea for the other residents at the unit... i fail to see how this makes a man well enough to be discharged... no discharge plans where expidited reference his release , no follow ups, no support was arranged to get him home ,no communication with his wife informing her of his pending release.... he was released with carrier bags, no money and no way of getting home. i am totally appalled by this and will endeavour to seek justices against those for allowing this to happen. on the 9th day of january 2017 when dean returned home an incident occurred which was highly unusual.

there was a stand off with police, Dean was tasered twice and pepper sprayed. Dean is now on remand awaitng crown court for something which could of been prevented if the George Bryan centre had carried out there job properly in helping.

to those who are thinking of recieving help from this organisation, please think twice........ How can this be deemed the correct protocol.......
