I have been here for a few months and was in the Hospital in Essex before and did not like it there. I think that the care is much better here in Northampton. This is because I felt I was getting bullied by other patients there and I was telling the staff and things weren't sorted out. I would not recommend that ward which was Hadleigh. The staff are more supportive here. If you are feeling low, they talk to me and take the time. I have a home visit this week and I had no leave when I was in Essex. I have got myself back on track here, got myself back on track more and have been more supported. I do sessions, cooking, community skills and I DJ every week with another patient on Townsend. The staff help me a lot and give me flash cards that I can show to staff and this helps. I see my care plans and they are very easy to understand. I am also going to the LGBT session today.
Please make sure this goes onto the internet so people can know what the care is like here for their child. In my opinion, I want something done about Essex and I want it to be better for other patients.
I would recommend Pritchard but not Hadleigh.
