Today I visited Cavendish unit at Leigh infirmary. It was very depressing, and the atmosphere was very smokey. The young lady I visited had been assaulted during her stay and complained of being bullied. Thankfully police were involved but no charges made (she has lost most of a tooth). The staff were mostly very friendly and helpful. She spoke very highly of the activity co coordinator. But she wolfed down the chocolates we brought her saying they would be stolen if she took them back to her bed. So, mixed feelings.
