"Terrible"

Mum was admitted here for recuperation after losing the ability to walk. Certain staff members treated her really badly, so much that she says she would rather die than have to return here. One staff member refused to put her in a chair to go to the toilet and told her she would have to walk a few steps before she could go. She wasn't able to do that, so spent the next few hours sitting soaked in her own urine. Food was ok but repetitive. Mum was discharged having made no progress at all and within 4 days was readmitted to hospital.
