Lings Bar Hospital - no Emergency Department

This has to be one of the worst places for care of patients. My elderly mother went in here after suffering a fall and unfortunately ended up in the Forest Ward. The level of care was non existent. My mother granted had a bit of dementia but there was no engagement with the patients and zero effort made in treatment or rehabilitation. There wasn’t even a tv or radio. My mother lost about 3 stone in weight and eventually came home emaciated and in no fit state to be at home. They just couldn’t wait to get rid of her. The staff couldn’t even manage to arrange appointments properly during Covid restrictions and I was sent away twice because they had messed up the times. My mother passed away shortly after leaving this dump.All I can say is if your relatives are unlucky enough to end up here then get them out of the place as soon as possible if you care for them in any way, because the staff at Lings Bar certainly won’t.

All the staff have been fantastic in getting May back on her feet, nothing has been too much for the trouble for the staff. When visiting May we have seen the daily challenges they face and they deal with things brilliantly. May has actually enjoyed her time here and I think she is really going to miss the staff here.

My mum has been in Lings bar hospital. Couldn't thank them enough, her care was very good on the Forest ward. The nurses and staff very friendly and helpful. Had good meals while there and plenty of interaction with the physio to get her walking again after a fall.

*Please note this is not the same Deborah Wright who has also posted a review*My 88 year old Dad was sent here, from QMC, for rehabilitation, with a view to him coming home (he was very poorly). He was on the John Proctor Ward.His stay was less than a month, during which time he was allowed to become emaciated, he wasn't kept clean and he received no rehabilitation. Needless to say he died whilst in there and it breaks my heart that Dad spent the last weeks of his life in this awful place.

I spent 3 weeks here on physical rehab after 7 weeks in Nottingham Queens Medical Centre ICU from May 2023. I cannot recommend this hospital highly enough: amazing staff, wards and good food.

Mum has just left Castle Ward after spending 6 weeks there. The care and attention she received was outstanding. Everyone is extremely helpful and have the time to talk to you (both face to face or by telephone) and explain how things are going. We were kept very well informed throughout the duration of her stay on the ward. A big thankyou to everyone on Castle Ward.

After my 95 year old mother was discharged from queens med,she was sent to Lings Bar Hospital after reading some bad reviews I was pretty anxious for my mothers well being . But on arrival I was instantly relived to see how clean and polite and nice the staff were. Over 3 weeks they looked after mum I can honestly say she been treated very well … with a very big thank you to the staff. my mums now home

My father has just spent 4 weeks in Castle ward - the staff were all fabulous, kind and caring and dedicated to the welfare of the patients. No hesitation in giving it 5*

Lingsbar hospital have poor, unprofessional and inadequate staff members, who like to intimidate and bully their patients, and when you go through the complaints procedure, they take weeks to give you an outcome and once they do contact you to inform you, you're then told (in other words) that it is you're word against theirs. Not enough is being done to protect our vulnerable people from consistant emotional abuse and neglect. I would strongly advise that you refrain from placing you're parent or any family member at lingsbar hospital. The way they have treated patients is absolutely appalling and they all work together to ensure that none of them have to face the consequences for their actions. If any of youre family members or parents are transferred to lingsbar, please make sure that you do everything in you're power to have them moved elsewhere for their own well-being and safety. My family member is still suffering from the consistent abuse caused by the staff here. They claim to support and assist you in rehabilitation but in actual fact you come out worse than you went in. I've even reported them to CQC. This hospital needs a thorough unannounced review and inspection for the health and well-being of all the patients admitted.

My mother has recently spent a few weeks at Lings Bar Hospital in the Castle Ward, I cannot thank enough everyone who works there who cared for my mother while she was in there for rehabilitation. The staff are very friendly and personable. The meals are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble. Everywhere was spotless and well organised. On behalf of my mother Margaret Joan Crofts, thank you very much.
