Was refered here after a incident work at which caused extreme anxiety and depression. Was put on homecare which i was nervous about but from the start the staff here were amazing, caring and took the extra time required when needed. NHS may be suffering but thank god for great staff like these

I have just come out of Finchingfield Ward (men's ward) having spent 3 months there following a nervous breakdown. I received excellent care and could not find fault with anything; the nurses, doctors and health care assistants were fantastic and did a brilliant job, often in the face of very difficult and trying circumstances. The food was good and bedrooms very comfortable. Following discharge I am receiving 'aftercare, and am being visited regularly in my own home.

Two complaints I had was having to wait until gone midnight to be 'booked in.' I had a severe mental illness, and had to share a room with someone in the same boat, whilst fifteen, that's FIFTEEN OUT OF TWENTY SEVEN beds, had their own rooms, AND WEREN'T EVEN ILL. Bloody disgraceful if you ask me. I'll people were farmed away from their home towns as beds are blocked. Other than being disgusted about this, the staff were EXCELLENT, which I cannot express enough. The care, excellent, however the food was worse than the old school dinners!

my wife was in the linden centre for two weeks. she had a heart condition and a pain in her leg and couldn't pass solids. the pain got worse and worse. finally, because another patient made such a fuss, she was transferred to a&e at the Broomfield and then to harlow hospital where she had a blood clot removed from her leg. 4 days later she had a largee clot removed from her stomach. she died 3 days later from LVT, a blood clot in the heart which was causing blood clots around the body.

This place made me 10000x worse, i have been admitted to both wards, galleywood and finchingfield and was able attempt to end my life several times on the unit and also self harmed, staff only found out a few times compared to the number of overdoses I took, when they did they made me feel guilty, misunderstood a not listened to. I don't know I am still here but this place need a serious change and has failed so many people. The doctors are people I would never trust, the patients support other patients more than staff. People were able to do certain things that shouldn't of happened, members of staff didn't realise because they were too busy in the office.

lack of security, when you walk in no one checks your bags, no sanitizer, staff ask you if your a patient or visitor, all staff congregate in the office, patients are neglected, no support, one to ones, counselling, therapies, when a patient is admitted they are not even shown around or told who there key worker is, their personal belongings are stolen, all staff take hours to sort anything out or don't even do it they are incompetent, rude and unhelpful, they don't liase with next of kin, and expect that person to sort all care out, the Linden centre is just a glorified holding centre, none of the staff are helpful and don't communicate in a professional manner when questioned about there neglect, there is no aftercare when they discharge patients and put them at risk to theirselves and others, I witnessed a patient lying in the rain for 2hours on 2 separate occasions not one member of staff supported this person, on another occasion a women sat peeling the skin off both her hands until blood was dripping all over the floor no member of staff helped her she was doing it for 3hours until I went and complained "disgusting", the list goes on No! I would never allow a member of my family to go there ever again.
