"I would like to thank them all at Arnold Lodge"

About: Arnold Lodge Regional Secure Unit

(as the patient),

I just wanted to write to say my care and treatment whilst being at Arnold Lodge has been excellent. I have been involved in all my treatments since being here and it has helped a lot. I have been involved in my medication changes after discussions with my RMO.

I feel positive about the future.

Arnold Lodge has helped me to loose some weight 4 and a half stone in 2 years and this makes me feel more confident in myself as I can buy more fashionable clothes.

At my next CPA they will be talking about moving me to a low secure unit called Farndon Unit.

I have gained some qualifications whilst being here in IT and education, Overall Arnold Lodge is the best place I have been in over 6 years. Staff are always helpful and listen to my problems.

I would like to thank them all including management.

Thank you so much for your posting regarding the care and treatment you have received at Arnold Lodge.

It is really good to see your positive comments about how the staff have directly involved you in your own treatment and have also helped you to improve your physical wellbeing and self confidence as well as supporting you to gain IT and education qualifications.

We put a great deal of time and effort in to ensuring that we recruit, train, supervise and support our staff to ensure that they provide the best possible standard of care. It is very rewarding for everyone involved in your care and the Management of the Hospital to read these comments. I will ensure that your message is passed on to them.
