The descriptions are fairly close to my experience. The only things I have not seen mentioned are that unlike a "regular" hospital stay. once you are stable you are expected to be dressed and have meals served in a dining room. You do have choices for food. Typical select at breakfast for next day. Some have showers in your room and others have locker room type showers where you need permission to use or shower rooms where someone monitors while you shower.

All have had a ward phone area where you can make and receive calls during specific hours. Some give you options to what groups you attend others schedule your group time. They might allow your family to visit and bring treats. The treats are held at the desk though. They also do room searches.

Not everyone in the ward is there for the same reason or at the same place with their mental health. Some have hospital beds and some have regular beds. There are not TVs in the patient rooms. Some monitor the rooms with remote cameras.

They also have laundry areas and you are responsible for doing your laundry and keeping your room clean.
