I have been an inpatient in St Pats for a month. I left after a week on dean swift in february, due to the incompitence of senior staff. within this admission have not seen a social worker, therapist, counselor, physio therapist or had any meaningfull interaction with a doctor. I have witnesed drug dealing, intimidation, masogony go unchecked or conveniently ignored by staff. i have been transfered through four beds on three wards and have no daily program or routene.this place has made my life allot worse. the website is fradulent, do not believe a word of it. And if you care for your own recovery or the recovery of a loved one; Do not sign in to this hospital. Dean swift is turning in his grave.

This place is health hazard, stay well clear, it costs around 550 euro a day to stay here and service is poor, any time I asked how my sister was, they had to refer to the registrar to find out as they hadn't a clue! as the shear turnover of staff means, they don't know what's happening from one day to the next. The exercise facilities are poor as is the treatment. Communication between staff and consultant Dr O'Ceallaigh and family was abysmal.
I have learn't that private health care in Ireland appears not to be regulated. If you have a complaint, there's nowhere to go as the " mental health commission do not comment on individual cases" thus St Pats is self regulated.

I would give minus 5 stars if I could. Went in here as a teenager with mental health and addiction issues. I was treated with judgement and no compassion or empathy by nurses and doctor Conor farren absolutely worst doctor ever.I would go as far as saying dangerous as I left feeling even more isolated and tried to take my life again. This place did me more harm than good. I believe that If I had received decent care here and been treated with deceny and empathy my life might have went a completely different way and I might not have went through 7 more years of hell. I will say to be fair that the actual counsellors were very nice and genuine but doctors and nurses were horrible and totally unprofessional. Please heed this caution and avoid as I would not like any other vulnerable person to be treated the way I was still years later upsets me. I have received a millions times better care from some public hospitals.

Excellent. I was there a number of years ago and even thinking back about the time I was there in hospital and my experience there helps to heal the wounds I experienced around depression and anxiety. Highly recommended.

We are very grateful to Dr O'Ceallaigh and his team. My sister had been very sick for nearly three years and she is doing well now.

Dreadful experience with relative in St Pats.In my opinion Dr Ò Ceallaigh is incompetent , no communication skills and has total disregard for patient and relatives.

LET THE BUYER BEWARE. The care my father received was abysmal. My Father was admitted to the high dependency Dean Swift ward. While in his stay here he was assaulted on THREE different occasions by another Patient. He was first Punched, then a glass of water was fired at him unprovoked, and on the third occasion he was thrown on the floor which resulted in him fracturing his hip.
He was admitted to St James hospital where he was 36 hours on a trolley before he was admitted, he was accompanied by what appeared to be porter who had limited English.

Despite St James doing the best they could and where the care and communication was excellent, they could not manage to get my father mobile again where he DIED of Pneumonia.
The autopsy revealed that my father had suffered an allergic reaction to the medication he received in St Pats which caused all his muscles to lock thus St James could not get his mobile again.

In the Dean Swift Ward the staff spent most of there time filing out paperwork as opposed to being in the ward.

The exercise facilities are smaller than a tennis court.

The consultant Dr O Ceallaigh went A-wall for two weeks before the last assault, the only response I could get from he secretary was that he was in court and unavailable. The consultant didn't seem aware of what was going on in the ward, as he rang me up on a Sunday after the assault and told me " He did not believe anyone else was involved to which he later retracted the following day.

They performed to independent enquiries, neither of which examined his medication and all they did say my father was a difficult case. Complete damage control, it took a staggering 18 months for the second enquiry to complete

I contacted the metal health commission and they said " they do not comment on individual cases " thus It appears the private mental health care in unregulated or self regulated!!!

Poor communication throughout,

PS. It seems unusual that all the good reviews of this place seem rather scant on information and details!

Terrible hospital, being private, all they care about is getting the money. My mother is not well at all and she has been in there for weeks, she has not seen one counsellor or therapist since she's been there. They let her lie on her bed all day popping in occasionally telling her that breakfast/lunch/dinner is ready. They have done nothing to help her mental health and even when you ring and speak to the staff they will all give you different information, she had an out patient appointment at another hospital and I rang up to confirm that a taxi will collect her from the hospital and when she gets to the other end someone will meet her there, one of the nurses told me "she could go on her own, there's no need for someone to meet her" my mum is also in there because of alcohol abuse!! They don't give full care at all and it has left my whole family completely at a loss. I would rather try public then this shame of a hospital. Her consultant even had the nerve to say the nurse are keeping a close eye on her and her personal hygiene and say she is looking after herself very well, last time I was in she hadn't washed her hair in over a week. So disgusted.
