Since 2020, our family has had experience of different Mental Health Services and Mental Healthcare professionals, all previous encounters with services have not been fit for purpose.
The Mental Health Services for Older Persons who responded to our family in Carndonagh, Donegal, is the one Mental Health Service that embodied everything one would need and hope for in mental health care support. We were so fortunate to be supported by the kindest and most professional of people, primarily a mental health nurse and Social Worker, who formed part of a wider team. This team also included an exceptional Public Health Nurse based in Carndonagh, as well as an Occupational Therapist and Physiotherapist, and our GP, who were all outstanding. This was HSE personnel and team work and it’s absolute best. If only the other Mental Health Services would embody, or even attempt to mirror the heart and professionalism of the Mental Health Services for Older Persons, then we would have a Mental Health Service in Donegal that truly offered person centred care. To the wonderful team who supported us and kept us afloat, your guidance and kindness have stayed with us, and we can’t thank you enough.
