The Mount

Hi there. My wife Arlene and I would like to say, that your care for her Brother Robert has been excellent since he came to you on the 16/11/22 we have seen a significant improvement in his mental health. For which we are truly grateful. Please accept our grattitude. Peter and Arlene Stockdale.

Great.

If your nervous or anxious about a loved one being placed in the Mount in Leeds don’t be. The care and love they showed towards my Dad Henry was appreciated by all his family. My Dad contracted sepsis in July 2023. After 3 weeks in St James in Leeds and his mild dementia then being advanced to a much later stage of the illness he was then admitted to the Mount for treatment. He was there for 3 months and was admitted to a nursing home at the beginning of Nov 2023. All the staff at the Mount were wonderful doing the most difficult job you can ever imagine. Because his dementia progressed so quickly we had to learn about the illness at pace but our visits were made easy by the staff spending time explaining to us in detail and with compassion. We can’t thank them enough. Please don’t worry, your loved ones will be well looked after.

My Mum spent over 5months in the Mount on ward 2 under a section 3.My first impressions when I went was to grab my Mum and run.It's a shock to your system to be on an acute dementia/ mentalheath ward.You really don't know what to expect and your trying to come to terms with the fact your loved one is so sick.I would just say don't panic.Over time you will find that the team on this ward, every single one of them is an angel in disguise.My Mum was treated with respect and dignity.More than this she was treated with love, kindness,caring and great patience.They not only cared for my Mum they genuinely cared about Mum's family's needs.My husband had a heart attack while Mum was in and I found them all a great support.Mum is now in a care home thanks to the incredible care.I would love to personally name you all but no room.Thankyou from the bottom of are hearts we will always be grateful may you all get all that's good in life. Best wishes to you all MP family

Amazing Place

Our experience as a family visiting my father have been ok , I think some of the patient's could be looked after a little more.Some of them do things that could be avoided if they were looked after more.Apart from that it's a really nice place .

My mother recently spent 5 weeks there and during that time hardly ate ! Food cold and like mush. The bank nurses were always different every day and had zero time for patients.What is worse is that when my mother had ECT at the Becklin Centre a nurse would say oh you dont need that chocolate " ( my father had taken her ) then take it to "put in a fridge". Theft of patients belongings is a crime and I have contacted PALS patient advice liaison service about this matter.There used to be a well tended garden at the back where patients were allowed to sit. Seems like it's been left for quite some time now is neglected

My dad was in there for 5 months and lost 13 kilos in weight had 8 falls I dnt believe its a safe place to be especially for the elderly they dnt look after them properly I hope my dad never his there again
