"Mental health care for older patients"

About: Older Adult Mental Health Selby Lodge

(as a relative),

My family would like to thank the medical team at Selby Lodge, an older adult inpatient and community mental  health services in Shenton Park, for the dedicated care  they gave my mum over the months she spent as an inpatient. 

Mum suffered badly from dementia and she was a risk to others and herself. She had to be flown down from Geraldton, north of Perth and spent her time on a ward with a lot of restrictions. 

As a family we were kept informed every step of the way, with changes to medications, change in behaviours and other medical issues she faced. Mum was treated with respect and dignity at all times, and the staff were happy to share information when we visited or rang us out of hours for a chat. We send our sincere gratitude to everyone at Selby, who help so many others living with mental health issues like mum had.

Thank you for taking the time to share your family’s experience with Selby Lodge. A hospital stay can be an overwhelming experience so it was heart-warming to read that you were kept up to date throughout your Mum’s admission. Please be assured that I will share your kind words with the team at Selby and I wish all of your family only the very best for the future.
