St. Anns Hospital reviews

I was kept in St Anne’s for 2 1/2 years in 2016. I left with more issues than I went in with! I was Pinned down many times and forcefully medicated, when that didn’t help I was forced to have ECT against my will. A team of staff would come …

Can’t comment on the hospital itself but the groundkeeper that was blowing all the leaves away obviously couldn’t be bothered to walk to a toilet and released his bladder in the bush in Broad daylight obviously forgot his highvise is bright yellow disgusting little man

The medical team at this hospital are ace buck passers. The main strategy appears to be to stop mentally sick patients accessing any hospital care. Evidently all beds are full and there is even a waiting list for access. So the plan is …

I have been telling the mental health Dr at st annes hospital, my son is having serious side affects to the medication. And dr is not listening, not even the mental health team in Weymouth at westhaven are listening. Trip to a and e with …

With the circumstances that they have to deal with, I have found that Poole Canford Cliffs have been Great in helping an Adult person/relative with Learning Disabilities & Mental Health, much appreciated thank you Very much!! …

Being a patient in St. Ann’s has enlightened me to a new persperctive of my life. To accept that mental health is important. To realise the value of family. To have a better perspective of caring. To enjoy nature and all of its beauty. …

To revise my original review, St Ann’s is paradise compared with many other mental hospitals. Currently placed in a private “rehab” in Woking, but it’s awful – utterly incompetent staff, and far more restrictions than in St Ann’s even …

Would not recommend. The general staff (excluding psychiatrists) do not show professional treatment of patients. My schizophrenic brother was met with physical aggression when he had a moment of psychosis – he was not aggressive towards …

Discharged me after a suicide attempt and told me I had ‘capacity’ and therefore didn’t need any help. I was unaware you had to have completely lost your grip on reality itself to be in need of crisis intervention and MH treatment, who knew!

Unfortunately I can’t leave zero stars! Avoid like the plague!!

If you have mental health issues get a competent doctor to give you a physical …

little security for patients. No cameras to record abuse. Food poor and fattening. No occupational activities to keep physically and mentally stimulated enough. They are said to be spending 35 million on refurbishment etc, well I’d like to know what they are going to spend on patient security, rather than just staff security.

No communication and a dr that deems someone medically and mentally fit for discharge after talking to them for 30 mins!!!! Ridiculous. Completely counterproductive as the patient was re admitted a few days later. I really question the …

Staff were useless and were disablist and had no joined up thinking.

The staff fudged my medical notes and were dishonest.

One of the sectioned patients, Paul Richards, currently resident in the hospital has been allowed regular access to the internet. He has used this to post lots of narcissistic and aggressive things on the internet. I do not think someone …

We currently have someone in there and when we get a call asking for help it is beyond a joke. There has been continued self harm whilst in their care – there does not appear to have been any therapy what so ever.

My boy sam is currently in haven ward and I visited today and I was amazed that patients are unable to smoke in the little safe spot in the middle which is outside , I know I’ll get told spiel about government policies but why are you …

Well engineered buildings on a rolling, sympathetic landscape, coupled with outstanding care facilities for mental health sufferers.

It’s a type of prison.
Why are people rating it at all ? …

very nice for all the staff. It seems staff comfort and wellbeing is the priority her, not the patients

It’s a type of prison.
Why are people rating it at all ?

If you have bpd thay will not help you in crisis

Excellent and professional staff especially support worker rose such a kind compassionate person

The staff here do a great job in difficult circumstances.

Useless reception everytime.

It’s full of very interesting people.

Very good

If you need help this is the place to heal

Good
