Caludon Centre coventry

Poor quality service with even poorer funding. Some good, caring nursing staff but in general not to be recommended.

I worked at this institution as a Nursing Assistant when it was known as the Coventry Mental Health Unit. This work consisted primarily of doing nothing. One was simply employed to be a spare pair of hands when a patient needed restraining in order for sedatives to be forcibly injected. Whilst the Police enforce property law, psychiatry enforces mental Order. The common denominator is brutality.

Went in in pain doctors and staff said I was paranoid about my health to my sister on the phone never gave me my tablets when needed thought they would help me but kept saying you seen the doctor go back to your room I never got the help I don't recommend the place made me worse one of the nurses was horrible on the phone to me sister they made me worse stayed in bed all day till I signed myself out and tr gave me my medication for over a day the day b4.. I ran away from the place. Came out worse. Not recommended by me.never got the real help I hated the place because how I got treated they don't listen to to your problems my family was worried about in their to 4 the way out your get treated the home team are better they have been very kind and helpful to me since I have been out.should of helped me instead of talking behind my back saying horrible words about me.

Total lack of communication between different sections of the center and all other NHS services. Dismissive, uncaring staff who treat patients with a total lack of empathy, make no attempt to understand their patients' situation or needs, and simply want to complete their checklist and get you out of the room with as little time, effort and intervention as possible. They genuinely do not care, even if you tell them that you are likely to harm yourself as soon as you leave. If you disagree with the staff in any way, no matter how politely, they will immediately become rude and confrontational, occasionally even aggressive. The prevailing attitude makes this an incredibly stressful and unpleasant place to be, and causes enormous distress to already suffering patients. There is no help for anyone suffering from mental illness here. The only time they will put effort into your "care" is if you have caused harm to or are a risk to another person, being a risk to yourself is completely meaningless to them.

Lake view clinic have saved my life many times, very professional team of staff, with understanding, sympathy and care for people who are in a very frightening and vulnerable time of their life. A very big thankyou to All of your staff. Steven Pugh. 🤗❤️
