One of my family member was admitted in the becklin centre. The care provided to her during her stay was not very safe and professional at all. She was sectioned under the Mental Health Act however always managed to get out of the hospital on her own. We was very concerned about her wellbeing and had no idea where she was. When reported to staff they also had no idea where she was which made us feel even more concerned. The staff was very rude when sepaking to them on the phone and did not reasure us at all. The patient was eventually found at home adress distressed however all of family member was very concerned as to how she got their on her own. When notifiying staff that the patient was found they were very rude towards us and tried to blame us as to why she escaped when clearly it was their fault. This has not only happened once but a few times during her stay!! Anything could have happened to this vulnerable patient.This is not safe effective nursing care at all!!
