From secure care to supported living - a patient story 🙌
Hear about a patient's account of their time at Ty Cwm Rhondda below ⤵
“I was a patient at Ty Cwm Rhondda for three years. When I first arrived I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but on arrival I was met by a very kind nurse and support worker from the ward. I was told about what items I could or couldn’t have with me before going onto the ward.
When I was on the ward I was shown around, including into my bedroom. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
Throughout my stay I have been supported by the doctor, psychologist and occupational therapy team, as well as the ward staff.
All the staff helped me to regain and maintain contact with my family, which has been a huge thing for me and something that I will always be grateful for.
When I left I said: “I hope I never see you all again” and I said it with a smile on my face but also a little sadness because I will miss them. From here on in, it is onwards and upwards for me.”
