My family member was recently transferred to Peter James Centre, my sibling came to visit and found our family member half naked, crying on the floor. A staff member was present. This person is more than capable of having some dignity and respect shown, dressed properly and in a proper bed. They can get up, walk with assistance and talk. They have spent nearly 3 months prior at Box Hill hospital- and to be frank, I feel the whole experience has been beyond, woeful, shameful, disgraceful and deplorable. I believe that my family member has nearly died due to negligence and I feel they have been severely mismedicated which has led to a severe decline in condition since admission, instead of an improvement. My family member came in with a very mild, common condition. I am very concerned about how I feel patients are being treated on these wards and in this hospital and organisation, a thorough investigation is warranted.
