I went here back in 2016. Came out with more trauma. (My therapist at the time tried to report what happened to me in there when I got out but was told there was too much footage to go through even though I knew the date and time it happened during that time) I also got threaded with booty juice if I didn t stop crying after a fellow patient was screaming at me and calling me awful names. Only 1 staff member was kind to me and took the time to talk with me. Everyone else was rude and awful. Also got switched up on pills a few times which ur NOT supposed to do with those types of meds. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Worst mental hospital, in fact detrimental to clients with mental disorder because there is no structure or order. The staff does NOT care about clients. Clients who come here have a 50/50 chance of getting addicted to cigarettes because they re passed out to clients like medicine. Food is always cold, room are never clean, they don t keep up with any clients personal belongings. Staff treats clients like dirt.
If I could give this place NO stars, I would. My sister got sent to this facility, and there is NO communication between the facility and the families. All the information that we knew about my sister was because I would call and ask. Now, don't get me started with the outpatient care. My sister has now been home for almost three weeks. No one gave us a heads-up or any guidance or advice before her discharge. I've been trying to get a hold of someone from our patient since last week, and this includes the Dr that my sister is supposed to be seen twice a week via Zoom. This whole experience has been stressful, and the poor communication of this facility is beyond overwhelmed and frustrating.
I was a 16 year old girl scared to go to my first mental hospital. I m so glad I got this hospital. All the staff was very very nice and actually helpful. The beds weren t the worst like you can sleep in them and sleep comfortably. Their overall service was great. The food was edible and some was really good. They treat all the patients very nice and it helped me get better!
I feel ashamed making this review because I wish I had been more attentive to my health before I went to the hospital. If I had, I could've gone home after the 72 hour hold. Instead they kept me for 6 days because they adjusted my meds was Dr. Jones reasoning. When I left the facility I ended up talking to my psychiatrist who informed me that my medication was never changed. To be more clear, I thought I was taking 40mg of Zoloft but turns out before I went to the hospital I was already taking 50mg and my psychiatrist tells me that 40mg doesn't exist. How does Dr. Jones, an experienced doctor, not know this as I tell him I'm taking 40 so he says he'll give me 50. I can't help but think that I got trapped there for no reason besides my good insurance. And that sounds like such an old person thing to say, conspiracy theories, you know? But this...this was just wrong and I get the sickest feeling in my stomach when I think about it. To the hospital, don't respond to this review by telling me to contact you on your website. You won't do anything anyways. In fact I remember the motto being that the doctor makes the decisions, not anyone else.
I went here for a few weeks back in 2018 and it was one of the most horrible experiences of my life. No one was welcoming, the rooms were dirty, dark and uncomfortable. The staff treated me horribly. They encouraged you to talk to them if you were struggling with self harm, so I did, and they reacted by taking away my clothing items, giving me a hospital gown, and forcing me to stay in bed for 24 hours as a punishment. All I needed was help. The staff was rude and showed no interest in you aside from giving you Ativan when you showed any sign outside of complete calmness. I left here with more trauma than I came in with. If you are thinking of going here or sending a loved one here, do NOT do it.
Ive been here twice and both time theyve taken amazing care. They provide excellent food and therapy as well as safety. I love it here
I have nothing but good things to say about this place!! Amazing staff, very clean, fun activities, we're allowed to talk to other people, we even had roommates, how fun is that?! I loved going to the cafeteria and getting a chance to pick what I wanted to eat!! The food was delicious and didn't make me throw up!! Amazing place!!! 5+ stars!!
