"Welcomed changes"

About: Arnold Lodge Regional Secure Unit

(as a service user),

This is my fourth time at my current service.

Much has changed since then- probably the most radical of these has been the switch from mixed Wards Female/male to individual wards. Another thing that has changed is the involvement of carer's in the service- meaning they have ongoing involvement in their relatives/friends care. There has also been another change albeit some time ago is the use of the CPA's to monitor my care. So what do I think about all of these changes- well I think they are all for the better- but there is still more to change.

Dear Waterjee66

I am glad that you have found the changes you have experienced at Arnold Lodge- the change to single sex wards, increased involvement of carers and the use of the Care Programme Approach (CPA)- to have been positive.

As you have said here, we expect more changes in the future- healthcare never stands still for long- and I hope that you have a positive experience in the future.

We are keen for patients to be involved in the future development of Arnold Lodge- your positive comments and constructive criticisms are always welcome.
