It feels like you're going into a forgotten basement cave when you go in
Just the rooms themselves are so cramped and dated, it definitely does not feel like you'll be a priority. I challenge John Carrigg to send his loved ones there. I doubt he would. The nurses all were kind, I was impressed with their care. That's literally the only positive though. It's been well over a full day with no updates. One Dr spoke to me to get background info almost 24 hours ago at this point. At that time she said I'd hear back in a few hours. I waited hours with a patient hoping to get an update, still nothing. Had there been any other feasible option I'd be gone in a heartbeat. The lack of social workers or advocates there to assist people unable to make informed decisions on their own there is appalling. I was with a patient and actively seeking answers and got none. What on earth about all those going in with no loved ones to assist? It's like they're in a black hole where their only use is for the hospital to pad their income through multiple tests that no one ever gets the results to. Again, immediate staff, nurses, guards, I was impressed with their empathy and caring, but they definitely seem to be stuck under the typical issue of out of touch upper management whom assuredly would go to the new Wilson wing if they needed to get treated. If you go here seeking mental health treatment for you or a loved one I am quite sure you'll leave scarred from the experience and with new issues to deal with in therapy. This place does not end the cycle, it perpetuates it.
