Bronllys Hospital

My elderly Mother came to Bronllys Hospital in 2012, following a Stroke-she was Transferred from Wye Ward at Hereford Hospital (the Acute Stroke Unit).
Although the general care given at Bronllys was reasonable, insufficient Physiotherapy input resulted in her having a Contracture of her Left leg which is irreversible. Both of Mum's legs were straight when admitted to Bronllys. The Stroke had affected her Left leg and Left arm.
Also, we were unaware, at the time, that Bronllys Hospital was under threat of closure.
Subsequently, it was known that the Hospital did not in fact close.
Mum was said to have "plateaued" as regards any further improvement to her affected limbs-Left arm/Left leg. This was incorrect, because during her stay at a Care Home, she received Physiotherapy and was able to move her Left leg off the footstool a little, and she could hold a ball between her hands, and flex her left arm-also she had movement in her left hand fingers.
Mum required encouragement with her Physio-sometimes, she might say she didn't want Physio, due to being tired (after all, she is 91+ years)-but, subsequently, with that encouragement, she benefitted from further Physio. input.
We felt that, at the time, Mum had been "written-off" in relation to her Physiotherapy.
Yours,
Sincerely,
Christopher Lloyd.

My mother was admitted on and off and eventually finally, suffering from pancreatic cancer. The staff were excellent, caring and helpful. The hospital itself is clean, welcoming and well looked after. They kept us in touch with the situation, advising of any change. I truly cannot praise Bronllys Hospital enough, and I know my mother felt so too.

My father was recuperating here for about two weeks end October, beginning November. The care he had from everyone - the Ward Sister Michelle, nurses, Health Care personnel, catering people - was first class. The place too is kept immaculate thanks to the work of the cleaning staff. A big thank you to everyone from me, my brother and sister for taking care of him.

Amazing caring staff. Been in many mental hospital. This is by far the best

terrible place, both the autistic and learning difficulties departments don't know what they are doing.

Good area

Can’t comment on the hospital but the speed bumps on the hill are dangerous to cars especially when it’s raining.

Kept wheel spinning in the rain to get over the plastic speed bump at walking speed.

They need to be replaced by tarmac or something that has grip and isn’t so steep.

Stay safe ✌️❤️

Went to the vaccine booster department not crowded well organised lovely staff felt comfortable thank you all doing great job speed ramps ridiculous borders on dangerous
