"My stay at the Lings Bar Hospital, Castle Ward."

I was transferred from the Queens Medical Centre with serious cognition problems. I couldn’t walk or function properly on any level. I was treated by friendly and sympathetic staff who were highly skilled as well as being cheerful. This applied to all the staff, from Consultants and Nurses to the kitchen and cleaning staff. They all wanted the best for me. I was on Castle Ward for 3 weeks and was able to return home feeling much happier and capable of movement and understanding. The staff made sure that I was going to have all the correct facilities, medications, equipment and care at home before sending me there. The Physio team even made a visit and organised the installation of a hand rail up the stairs. The social worker also did everything possible. All this made me feel much better about myself and impressed family and friends. A local club made a donation towards activity equipment on the Ward as a tribute to the care that I received.
