“We had a guest in from out of town that needed medical attention. I loved how the staff took such good care of her! They were efficient but thorough and to the point. Not only did they diagnose quickly but also offered relief just as quickly. Great staff!”

“During the long labor and birth of my first born, each and every nurse has been caring and helpful. I could not have asked for a better experience, through 8 RNs at my time of writing this, I’m sure it can’t be coincidence, but a simply well-staffed maternity ward. I’m very happy with the way the birth of my daughter and am eternally grateful to the hard working women who have given us this great experience.”

“I was taken here recently for Severe Recurrent Major Depressive disorder and General Anxiety disorder, I was also cutting myself and in this situation I attempted to kill myself. I had been to 3 other facilities prior and none of them had done anything for me. When I arrived on north unit (the male unit) There were about 18 residents at the time. You must realize, a lot of the people here are going to be very severe, this isn't a place just to send your kid if they are dealing with a little bit of depression or some mild behavioral issues. This place is not luxurious at all, they don't pamper you, and you aren't fed gourmet meals everyday. In all honesty, that helped my situation. I am a particularly picky eater, however, being here is no place to be picky. In my opinion, the only major issue with this place is that the people who run it are trying to be cheap about it. The staff are all wonderful people, I have never had one bad experience with any of them. They truly care about the children, and I know that as fact because they seriously try to build a relationship with the residents whether or not they are behaving negatively. They don't forget your actions, but they don't hold on to grudges. There are staff working on the units who have been working there for YEARS, yet they still aren't payed well, and they don't leave. They care about the kids. It's truly sad they aren't rewarded highly for their hard work. Now, on to the topic of therapeutic holds. You probably have read reviews about residents being held against the wall, and they either have you take a pill or a shot. Holds are only used if you are a danger to yourself or others, they don't just do this to residents. I've seen multiple holds when I was on unit, and it was only in situations when a resident was having an outburst i.e becoming physically violent, destructive, self-harming behavior, or inappropriately touching another resident. What they do, is that they get you in a corner and get it so that you are facing the wall, and they raise your arms and hold them against the wall so you're incapable of moving or further harming others/yourself. They aren't pleasant at all. However, they are only used in extreme situations. The Unit is kept clean and tidy, every morning once you wake up you have to make your bed, and shower. They also promote good hygiene and provide deodorant, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and a tooth brush with tooth paste. Once a week, the residents help clean the unit. In this time we sweep the floors of the common areas and our rooms, mop the floors, and wipe down all surfaces with sanitary wipes. The bathrooms are also thoroughly cleaned by cleaners that come in while we're not on unit. Medications are taken every morning before breakfast, and after dinner for the people that need medications after dinner. Residents are allowed leisure time, and there also projects and team building activities the unit does. While I was there, we made posters on DBT skills and created clay animals which we also painted. A lot of my fellow residents I met there were also genuinely great people who had mental issues or behavioral problems. Being there seems intimidating and scary at first, but once you warm up to people in my experience they typically open up more. It is not a pleasant place to be at first, but if you open up about what you're dealing with, and try to make progress, it truly helps. The staff on north unit were incredibly caring, and they were absolutely raw and real. Some are kind enough to even share their personal possessions with residents in leisure time. One staff member would bring in comic books for north unit and let residents read them as long as they returned intact. A few of them are also incredibly talented. One would draw artwork of comic superheroes and villains for residents which were absolutely stunning, and another would also sing with the residents. This isn't a bad place, the staff aren't bad, the issue in my opinion is that they don't have the proper tools to work with.”

“Acceptable primary care. Can make appointments in a reasonable amount of time. Most of the time same or next day. I believe my care was taken seriously. Treatment plans are well thought out. Not afraid to change treatment if it's not working. The medical records department needs to check out their fax machine though. Had to go pick up documents and send them myself.”

“Dr. Woods was engaged and efficient when I came in with what I thought was diverticulitis. After tests were done (quickly) his assessment was clear (it was a UTI), I got a prescription and went home relaxed. The staff is kind and helpful. Thanks especially to nurse Kirsten.”
