Review from Natalie B (Respite Resident) published on 26 May 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Very unfair treatment towards myself. Was treated poorly and was given meds far too late. I was bullied by other users and was never treated the same as other users. Not happy with the respite offered to me.
