About being on Ashley Ward

Posted By Kieran64#

"About being on Ashley Ward"

About: The Hatherton Centre (Stafford Medium Secure Unit) / Ashley House

(as a service user),

I have been on Ashley Ward a few months.  These are my thoughts, nice people, nice staff, nice atmosphere. I like environment because there is more space.  I like the activities, the sporting groups, social / tea groups and psychology.

I think that being here will help me. I have made friends with some of the other guys.  I feel safe on the ward.  I like accessing the garden, it is nice and open.  The staff always make time for me, they are always on hand.  The food is nice and the ward is always very clean.
