"The unit has completely blown me away"

About: Stonehouse Hospital / Briar Unit

(as a service user),

My wife suffered brain trauma followed by a stroke and was admitted to the Briar clinic Stonehouse.

On arrival on the first day, I was amazed instantly, with the friendless and welcoming from every single member of staff, and this hasn’t change at all throughout the initial 5 weeks.

The unit as a whole has completely blown me away, it’s not until you're in need or a loved one is, that you realise places like this exist, state of the art and fully instilled confidence in our family that this unit will fulfil the best rehab possible.

The difference in the first five weeks for my wife has been nothing short of amazing (fantastic), and very much looking forward to the future and further gains.

I would love name individuals on certain aspects of the rehab, but would find that totally unfair, as each individual plays a key role, and form a part of an unbeatable team.

From my family and myself, we would like to say a very big thank you, yous are giving us a future that’s looks so much brighter, but more importantly the life yous are giving my wife.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
