"Comradery, friendship & professionalism"

About: Sligo/Leitrim Mental Health Services / Sligo Leitrim Psychiatry of Later Life

(as a service user),

I started in Liscarney in June 2023 and Liscarney is a place filled with comradery, friendship, professionalism and efficiency. In the beginning I was always anxious about coming into Liscarney, however as the year and a half has progressed I have became much more comfortable coming into Liscarney, as I now know how friendly and welcoming the staff are. I used psychology services and also availed of the Nursing and Doctors within Liscarney. All the staff have always been so helpful and compassionate towards me. I have made many friends whilst attending Liscareny which really helps me with my anxiety as I live alone and Liscarney allows me to socalise with other people. I have seen a couple different students come through Liscarney and they have always been a great company to me and are always so kind towards me.

The only complaint I have, which isn't directed towards the service itself, is the parking situation. The parking at Liscarney definitely needs to be improved, whether its more parking spaces or more organized spots for people to park. I would never fault Liscarney, the staff really make the service what it is, I would describe Liscarney as a special type of service.

Dear Gavnk77,

thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences of your engagement with the Acute Day Hospital services in Liscarney House. I'm delighted that you were able to benefit from the skilled staff who work there and I trust you have found new ways to manage the anxiety you feel.

Like you, we all share your frustration regarding parking facilities and we continue to raise this issue at business meetings.

Thanks again for your feedback, which is much appreciated. May I wish you and yours a happy and healthy 2025.
