The Huntercombe Hospital - Stafford

My stay here started thirteen years ago this coming month. It is thanks to the care and attention that I received on that initial admission that it has been my only stay on an ed ward. Yes, there where areas for improvement but on the whole I found that staff where caring and really listened. They also gave me the tools to tackle all the obstacles that have come in my path since. In my opinion, no mental health hospital works for everyone as each hospital has a different approach and isn't suited to every individual case. But for me I found that at the time, huntercombe Stafford was the best place for me. The doctor on Wedgewood at the time was attentive and went out of her way to help me so thank you to her very much. Most of the other staff where also kind and listened a lot. The only reason I haven't given you five stars is because in everything there is always room for improvement

THIS dump is the infamous 'Huntercombe Stafford', one of the notorious Huntercombe 'hospitals' that was in the news a few years ago. All except two are closed now. Children are traumatised for life in these child prisons, and quite frankly everyone working in them should be arrested and questioned regarding the abuse and neglect that takes place under their watch. CCTV should be used - with sound - to protect children in the 'care' of these places. And yet despite all the evil within, here they still are, ruining lives in 2023 and hiding behind a new name! Shameful.

Utter s##t place came out with more problems, a foul temper and felt like I was punished for struggling. The staff used unlawful heavy restraints which made me angry, self harm and retaliate in a nasty way by feeling guilty for being unwell.

My feedback will be given to the CQC. Its a terrible, chaotic and uncaring hospital

Some of the staff were amazing but that was rare I was left on my own for a long time before them coming in and I had too much medication which led me to have no energy and sleep all the time, some of the patients were struggling but didn't get the help they deserved, I was discharged and clearly still needed help but got discharged anyway, some staff would argue at you for having an incident
