The board in the services can be a little bit all over the place. There were occasions when I could not attend some of the graduations of the people I really cared about. The structure of the program could be a little bit better.

Good experience overall, food was amazing, most members of the support staff were amazing, the whole therapy team is amazing. Would advise to get aircon installed in rooms as it was extremely hot in my room and struggled to sleep and ensure the aircon is working in the therapy rooms. Additionally, wish there was more group therapy than just 1 per day as I found that this was really helpful for me. Apart from that, it was great!

Maybe that’s it’s good to come but if your unwell physically you won’t get everything you want out of it , so it might be a good time to wait until you are physically better, before you arrive , but it’s still good
