What have past clients said about TRP?

Some comments from past clients of TRP and their families:

“At first I didn’t want to come to TRP but am glad I did because it helped me and my parents to deal with a lot of issues before we got home”

“The 6 weeks we spent in TRP was beneficial to both (client) and ourselves. We both learned a lot and we were never afraid to ask questions because we were put at ease by each member of the team, and they were helpful in every way”

“The best thing about TRP is that it gives you the chance to deal with things in the real world. It gives you the confidence that you need to go home and know that you can cope with your problems. It helps you reach out beyond the hospital and allows you to let go of it as a security blanket. It was the best thing we did to take this fantastic opportunity. My fears of going home are no longer present. The staff have been more than fantastic in their help solving our problems and also in making us become more independent. Thanks to their help we can deal with anything. It is a brilliant program and the staff are fantastic.”

“It was good to be living in an environment where we felt like we were in control of our lives again...the personal care support worker allowed me to take time to do things for myself and work them out. Sometimes in the ward, things were so rushed that the nurses didn’t have time to wait for me to do things for myself. It was quicker and easier if I just let them do it.”

"I circled the best response to your questions, not to be nice, but because my family and I agree that TRP has been a great help to us all and the team have been great and really helped us to adjust to the real world. This is a real asset to the community"

"Excellent program. Could not have coped without the support of the TRP team"

" If I had gone home without TRP it would have been like putting me in a helicopter and taking me out into the middle of the ocean and dropping me off, and telling me to swim home"

(Client) "If we had not come into the TRP Program we would have gone home a bit green."
(Wife) "More than a bit green!"

"We were able to work with the TRP Team on some ‘real life’ issues and to learn skills to address these. I don’t think these sorts of issues would have been even identified in the hospital environment"

"TRP has been a really good experience for me. I think I have achieved more in this three weeks than I could have ever done in the hospital"

"If people make the difference, TRP has what it takes"

"All the people I have met have been very helpful and caring. They could not have been better"

"I am positive I will cope much better at home after TRP than I would have without the program"

"I am grateful for the wonderful service and kindness you have all shown to us"
