THIS HOSPITAL IS LIKE A SCENE OUT OF THE SCARY PSYCH MOVIES, CAMERAS, LOCKED DOORS, YOU CAN FEEL THE ERRINESS WHEN U WALK IN. I'M THE MOTHER OF A PATIENT CURRENTLY RESIDING THERE AND SHE WANTS OUT BADLY.

SO WHEN I GO TO CHECK HER IN A FEW NIGHTS AGO, WE'RE TOLD TO WAIT IN THE LOBBY WITH 2 COUCHES, THE ONE WE SAT ON WAS FILLED WITH FOOD IN PLAIN SIGHT SO MY DAUGHTER AND I STOOD UP INSTEAD, I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A PICTURE BUT YOU'RE FORCED TO FORFEIT YOUR PHONE EVEN IF YOUR NOT A PATIENT. THE FLOORS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN MOPPED SINCE THE PLACE WAS BUILT, THE SMELL IS NOT PLEASENT, AND THE ROOMS HAVE DEAD BUGS IN THEM. IN THE LOBBY WHERE YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO CHECK IN, MY DAUGHTER WHO JUST GOT OUT OF PICU FOR 7 DAYS, GETS CUSSED OUT BY THIS LOOSE VERY MENTALLY UNSTABLE WOMAN AND NOT ONE PERSON DETAINED HER. ALL MY DAUGHTER DID WAS WHISPER HOW AFRAID SHE WAS. AND SHE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BE. THEN, IF THAT WASN'T BAD, THE HAND SANITIZERIS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROM RIGHT NEXT TO A MENTALLY UNSTABLE WOMAN WHO HAD NOT BEEN CHECKED IN YET. WE WERE BOTH VERY AFRAID. IF ANYONE LOVES THEIR CHILDREN, DO NOT BRING THEM HERE, MY ONLY REASON FOR NOT GETTING HER OUT SOONER IS CPS ISSUES OF NOT FOLLOWING ADVICE OF A DR IS NEGLECTGUL SUPERVISION. SO THAT'S WHY I'M WRITING THIS REVIEW, AND MAYBE THEY CAN CLEAN THE PLACE UP. IN THE ADOLSECNT ROOM, WELL IT'S ages 7-17 AND THEY DO NOT SEGREGATE MEN AND WOMEN. CAMERAS ON YOU EVEN IN THE BATHROOMS. I REALLY HOPE THIS REACHES OUT AND HELPS MANY. DR SAUNDERS MEANS WELL, BUT THE ASSESEMENT OF THIS PLACE IS NEGATIVE ON MY SCALE. THE YOUNG MAN IN THE LOBBY NAMED MARK HELPED US AND WAS FRIENDLY, SOFT SPOKEN. THE NURSE WITH CURLY HAIR THAT HAD TO CHECK MY DAUGHTWR IN HER ROOM WAS NICE TO, ALL OTHERS EXPECT AN ATTITUDE.... BECAUSE I GUESS THEY'R JOB IS HARDER THAN WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH IN YOUR LIFE.
