Epworth Hospital

Staff is fantastic. Went in scared n not knowing what to expect but they did anything n everything they needed to do to help me n make me better. Nurses are beyond amazing n helpful. Would definitely recommend if your are feeling depressed n need help this is the place to go

This place is awful they said they will help with depression but instead of helping they make it worst, they didn’t let me talk to my daughter the they she aas admitted, i didn’t had the chance to tell her that i love her, they never contact me but once about her progress while she was there, i keep calling and asking to get more information about her health and never no one had an answer, looks like this place is just to get the money out of the insurance and not to help people, nurses keep saying to talk to the doctors and doctors were always busy, medical Assistants and people who watch the girls are males to during the night... worst place

My experience in the Adolescent unit wasn’t great to be honest (not here to rant but give constructive feedback). Very confused most times because of lying ( was told I would be able to make as many calls as I wanted before being admitted, but later told I can only have few a day) and I had another experience with a Psychiatrist where I was told I was manipulating my parents because I wanted to go home because I didn’t like the treatment. Medication complications (was told I couldn’t control my emotions repeatedly after I was having outbreaks from medication problems and psychiatric didn’t recognize that even though I told him that). I did learn to “cope” better and to control my emotions better, but I was mentally exhausted in that place and had very bad depression (the worst it has ever been) all throughout my stay. Nurse calling kids out about using coping skills in front of everyone because they were mad he cheated in a game (very immature on the nurses end smh). Psych Techs aren’t rude or anything and do motivate you, talk to you about problems, give advice. Groups are okay (mostly management for anxiety, depression, stress, getting your life back together, etc). Hall bathrooms were dirty bandages, old shampoo cups, dirty towels, and had a funny smell (looked as if they hadn’t been washed in weeks *not even lying*). laundry smelled funny after being received back (also left weird spots on some clothes). Rooms were dirty (beds smelled awful and had weird spots and marks). To be completely honest this place kinda sucked, I wouldn’t go here again. Send your children to a better place because it is like being in jail but worse.

!!!USE CAUTION THIIS IS NOT WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS!!! This institution is a prison for unexpected people. In which they still your rights and the rights of your family. I would never use this place again. Use caution if your thinking about putting your loved one here. If you do so, you lose all your rights to them and they will kidnap them and only let them out at their own discretion. Don't dare ask questions about what's going on because if you don't agree with them you are being hostile. When all actuality your just trying to be informed so you can make a decision on your loved one. This place gets a F for working with their patients and their family. All they're concerned about is their own feelings. A person with no record of any type who's never hurt them selves or others should never lose their rights because of opinions alone it should be backed up with records and facts. This is totally unconstitutional. IF I would of known this before he went there I would of never agreed to this. All this is doing is scarring him and his family. I'm not a psychologist but I'm sure this is doing alot for his anxiety. There are better places then this. Make sure you educate yourself about a place before you agree to put your loved one in a place like this or you will be in my position and possibly causing you to seek council on his behalf. Mind you there is nothing wrong with my uncle hes off the medication that caused this which was a steroid for his lungs. When I talked to him he has his state of mind and he doesn't like the treatment hes getting so I attempted to get his release and was met with a bunch of red tape. They informed me he can't leave and that I have to wait for his pychologist to determine if he can leave and they have 24 hours to do so and they don't have to let him go if they don't want to on grounds of opinions. Regardless of your feelings or opinions that aren't backed up with concrete facts if a person wishes to leave a place that they signed in to on their own for no legal reason should be able to sign a waiver to do so. I didn't know this was a prison when we started this, all we were doing was looking for help. SO THANKS EPWORTH CENTER FOR YOUR PROFESSIONALISM

Had been having severe suicidal thoughts for over a year before coming here. It’s shocking when you first enter, but the staff make you feel surprisingly better. Staff such as Antonio, Robbie, Jen, Kip, Valerie, Amber and Sir Jarrett made it feel much more comfortable. They really do somehow make you want to feel better and almost nothing else has ever done the same for me. The various types of therapy are amazing as well. Sir Jarrett did an amazing job of making you feel normal. Amber did the same and is also really good at calming others down. Valerie and Kip would always pull you aside and ask how everything was doing, especially Kip. I know this sounds very rant-like but this place truly saved my life.
