Holly Hill Hospital - South Campus - Children and Adult Inpatient

I have to say reading the reviews I was terrified that my daughter needed care from here; however the care she received was exceptional. She said everyone was nice, the food was great, and the treatment was helpful. She was able to call home every night. No visitors because of COVID.nThe pillows were flat and showers like warm but that’s nothing to complain about considering the situation at hand.nSo grateful her experience was far different from the negative reviews we read.

Nobody wants to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. So, reviews often portray a negative light to these facilities because they are coming from people who often didn't want to go. During the eight days I stayed at the children's hospital, all I wanted to do was leave. I was angry and it felt like I was getting absolutely no help during my stay. But in hindsight, this hospital helped me more than I could have ever imagined.nnAfter a really low point in my life, I was admitted here to help set me on a path to improve my mental health. One thing that I got wrong during my stay was that I assumed this hospital was to immediately help me and present solutions to my problems. However, I recognize now that that was what was causing a lot of my bitterness and feelings of not being helped during my stay. This hospital was designed to help us get back on our feet, ensure that we are not at risk of harming ourselves or others, and help us make long terms goals so that we can help ourselves. They can't solve our mental health for us, they are here to help US help ourselves.nnHolly Hill picked me up from the lowest point in my life, provided me a place where I was not a danger to myself, surrounded me with many adults who genuinely cared, and set me up so that I could take action with my mental health. I was started on the medication I needed to begin helping myself, and they helped me find ways to cope and start building a better relationship with myself once I left the hospital.nnOf course, there were things that I was not entirely comfortable with or that I didn't necessarily like. Sometimes by room sink didn't work, the food was a bit paltry some days, and there were fights every other day. But I have to keep in mind the unique difficulties that presented themselves because of COVID-19 and the fact that people cannot naturally be controlled by external forces. The staff can't predict when there is going to be a fight between kids who are having a rough time in their own lives. So the staff worked their hardest to take care of the situation when they occurred and make sure we were all safe during and afterward.nnDuring my stay, I looked at a lot of the staff with anger. I felt like they didn't care and that they were not listening to what I needed. Boy, was I wrong. Sure, there were a couple staff and techs that were not as kind as the others, but in all, they were all genuinely there trying to help us. I remember one day, Ms. Samantha took us outside right after it had rained and carefully saved all the snails on the sidewalk with us. We must have picked up dozens of tiny garden snails in our hands and placed them back into the grass. Ms. Samantha would hold them in our hands and remind us to be gentle with them, and always act excited every single time we found a snail of our own. And when we weren't saving snails, Ms. Samantha was always ready to sit down and listen to us. She never, ever judged us and was always willing to listen or give advice depending on what we wanted. She was the epitome of love and care at Holly Hill.nnMs. Samantha was not the only one who cared so deeply for us though. I remember Mr. Jonathan, Ms. T, the night shift, and the super late night shift. I'll tell you what, the night shift in the evenings were some of the funniest techs that cared for us. Some nights we would have deep and meaningful conversations, other days we had rap battles. But at the end of the day, they were always there for us. They took care of us, not just because that was their job, but because they really, really cared for us.nnLastly, I'd like to mention how great the other kids were incredible people. Yes, we were all having very rough patches in our lives, but they were all so kind. Even the kids who got in fights would be the same ones who would calm the others kids down who were having panic attacks. My roommate listened to me for hours almost every night when I would just ramble on and on about everything. We supported each other in our healing and it was wonderful.

I had a great experience in Holly Hill hospital south. Campus. The staff there is very caring. Every day, the psychiatrist come and has one on one session with patients. The physician assistant and nurses take care of meds and all other concerns every single day. There are different therapies all day long. These therapies include recreation therapy, coping therapy, therapy for mindfulness etc. These therapies help patients build positive thinking, and coping with different situations that are triggered in life. The meds are given every single day early in the morning and before bed for all patients according to their prescriptions and need. The vitals are checked every day morning and evening. In the night, there is watch every 15 min in every room to make sure everything is safe and sound. There are many board games, cards and creative activities like coloring , puzzle etc available to create a positivity, creativity and keeping the patients busy. The food is good and wholesome. There is salad, protein, occasionally sweat, juice, milk veggies every single day. Besides there are snacks available in between the meals. I have seen all my peers and every one who stay there are satisfied with the therapies and services provided. People come out of there with confidence and positive outlook towards life. Such psychiatric centers are really required in our community which help lots of patients. I highly recommend this place to all and and can guarantee that they will be completely satisfied with all the services and resources Holly Hill hospital south campus provide.

This place deserves a zero! My son was here for six days and they did nothing for him. Dr came in twice for two minutes. They said he was stable to go home, and he was anything but stable. They didn’t give us any resources to help us. My child said they made fun of people in there. My son has been worse since he left Holly Hill. All it is is a holding tank for them to collect their money. They gave him no medical evaluation or any medicine changes. How does a kid not get either of these services when they’re in a mental hospital. Run from this place as fast as you can!

This place is no place for helping children. My nephew have been there for 5 days. My sister was told that she would get a call from the Dr about my nephew never once did she recieved a call from a Dr.The only way she got to speak to a Dr was calling and calling. He Dr Cornwall finally called her back. They prescribed my nephew medication and my sister never consent for him to take than he lied and said my nephew was taking medication already thats a lie. Dr Cornwall is very rude and disrespectful. I will be giving the Director a call in them and filling a complaint with division of health services and joint commission. I wont send a dieing dog to this place. They don't deserve any stars
