i appreciate that this video was aired so long ago,but i also follow the posters videos re desolate buildings,and adore the work..i will say this video is both educational and at the same time so very upsetting,but never the less educational which is myu=uch needed even in todays society.good post friend..
Kind of interesting, no abuse seen at St Lawrences as seen at Winterbourne. In fact nurses are actually tenderly helping them......how far we have come indeed

Terrys story absolutely broke my heart. 50years in a wheelchair, 10years on a beanbag, 2hours in a wheelchair he can move and give him a taste of a bit of independence and then back to his own wheelchair.... four months and waiting for one he can move. That is torture.
Spastic was a common term used to describe patients with cerebral palsy whose limbs were spastic. Although it became a term of abuse it wasn't intended that way, certainly not by the BBC
Surprisingly this documentary was made by ITV. I know that it this day of bilge like Britain's Got Talent that ITV could make powerful programmes like this but once upon a time they did, they made many of them and they made them well.
I worked 12 months (civil service instead of compulsory military) in a mental hospital, with patients from 20 to 90 years of age. It has been tough and demanding, but the most "humanizing" and life changing experience.
Alot of the more able bodied residents help take care of the residents who can't care for them selfs. Terry Green for years has probably seen these residents pushing them selfs around, and when he was sitting in his first chair thought, and remembered to do the same. Even though it wasn't a regular wheel chair, he still knew that by moving the wheels you can get from one spot to the other. And notice in the photo he's reaching for the wheel in the back! {:)
Treat the patients as you would like to be treated - why did it take 50 years for Terry to get a wheelchair? One has to ask who some of the spastics are, the residents or the staff?
you treat them like nothing they will never learn.

2:10 Is that a Buddhist monk I hear in the background, or someone in a high dependency psychiatric ward?

@1deenare Sometimes the parents are dead, sometimes they can't cope and sometimes they just don't want to know.

I think these people are aware of everything that's going on round them. They just can't tell you, many don't even get a chance too.

it is still all about the staff and money not the patients or residents.
