I felt is the honest answer
Feel misunderstood by majority of team. Not listened to
Some staff members were very kind and compassionate, however some were less so. Overall I feel as if the level of care at Cotswold house is commendable.
Staff have the best intentions, but they are overworked and I worry about them
Kind staff
I was looked after when struggling
Appointments were almost always late and on one occasion missed entirely. One day the duty phone was not answered - I got through to a receptionist who said someone would call us back, no call back that day and could not get through for the rest of the day. Staff seemed like they wanted to do more to help, and have at times been very kind and helpful, but they were extremely short staffed and it seemed overworked, having a major impact on care. At times, this came across as uncompassionate and felt very chaotic. Care coordinator made assumptions about me based on my diagnosis, which made me lose trust; it didn’t seem that anything was much known about what was helpful/unhelpful for my condition. As I said, it seems like the staff really did want to help but just no time to get to know me properly or my mental health needs.
Early days but good so far
I thought about the answers. Hope they were helpful.
One of the psychiatric nurse 'professionals' couldn't help laughing at me so she had to disconnect from the session. This is despite my call being in relation to a suicide attempt.
