I found Arnold Lodge a lot better hospital than the hospital I came from, and a lot better than prison. I soon settled in, I started staying out in the communal areas talking and playing games with staff and peers. I was encouraged to go to the gym, I then started attending courses. Mental health awareness, problem solving and education. I also started cooking and staff helped me cook new recipes. I have always felt safe and knew I was supported by staff, they have done an amazing job. I don't think anything could have been better to help me progress. I would like to thank all the nursing team on Thornton Ward for all their help and encouragement.
