    I’ve been to OSU Harding and Riverside so I can compare. There is something really bizarre, wouldn’t be surprised if an investigation went on and there was money laundering or something else, going on there. This is not a normal hospital. There is something seriously off about this place. I’m actually convinced this is the closest thing to a for profit prison scheme that is legally allowed, they just happen to give out medication sometimes. This place should be shutdown. It is the closest thing to incarceration as I can imagine. I do not know how they are still LEGALLY allowed to operate. They discontinued medication for an unrelated condition I had been taking for years without any notice and for no reason. I had to beg for my as needed medication. I’m talking about literally for an hour BEG a nurse to simply get up from doing paperwork to treat me like a human being. Other patients began even advocating for me because of how disrespectful it was. I had to wait for a shift change an hour later to get what I needed from another nurse. *****This not a case of “oh, all mental health hospitals are not fun”. I ACTIVELY wanted to get better and work with the staff to advocate to get help. I had a light bulb moment when trying to ask about my medication and actively wanting help from the prescribing nurse like, “Wow, no one here is actually going to help me”. It was the equivalent of talking to a brick wall. It was actually creepy. Like I felt like there was something human missing about everyone working there. The patients, with their own pain and anxiety, were more human than the staff. I remember just having that light bulb moment and just sucking it up for three more days and leaving to get myself real help. I can’t imagine what someone who doesn’t have my capacity would do.They made me take my mental health into my own hands because they had zero capacity to do anything to treat me like a patient in need of compassion, affirmation and medication. Please, medical board, shut this place down for the love of all that is holy. And I am the least picky eater but this was literally the novelty of what actual prisoners describe as prison food. I’m not exaggerating. This is a hospital and you can get better quality food from a gas station. I was freezing the whole time. This is not a hospital. Again, this is a for private prison that provides medication, occasionally. This place needs to be condemned.

    Contacted this organization for a story on behavioral health. When I identified myself as the media they became very nervous. The front desk immediately hung up the phone. A 2nd call was placed where the front desk then put the call on hold for 15 minutes. After which they did not answer the phone for the remainder of the day. The calls were never returned. This type of behavior is typical with organizations that have something to hide. I'd be very careful sending anyone here. If they can't conduct themselves properly over the phone, I can't see them helping people who are struggling.

    When I went here, I was out on so much medication I could not even breathe properly. The doctor barely even looked at me but somehow put me on so much medication! So scary! I do not understand why people do not investigate this place! And this was in 2015 -so from what I have read……it has gotten MUCH worse. Please do not send loved ones here.

    If I could give 0 stars I would! The staff are terrible! They ignore you or treat you like garbage! I wasn’t even given my seizure medication my first day even though I told them I needed it! We received no group or one on one therapy. The patients actually made our own group because we had no one to talk to. God forbid we were a little past lights out doing that, then they get angry! Multiple people were double dosed or not given their meds. They lost my eczema medicine that I brought in and they lost another person wedding ring. It basically a holding cell. You will receive NO HELP! There is so much more I could say but I’ll save that for the Ohio department of health!

    I was pink slipped and sent here. They didn’t have room in the adult behavior side, so I was in the geriatric unit my first day. Then, I was moved over to adult. It was absolutely filthy and the second night in, I noticed what appeared to be dried vomit on the side of my mattress. I complained to staff about it and they tried just giving me cleansing wipes which are not antibacterial. I was then forced to clean up someone else’s vomit with my bare hands until a nurse practitioner saw what I was doing and finished it. Some of the staff were incredibly rude to some patients. I witnessed a staff member cuss at a patient because she didn’t hear what he was saying and asked him to repeat himself. They also severely lack funding as there really aren’t that many group therapy sessions. One of the medical assistants held one and literally called the hospital “ratchet af” in front of all of us. The shower in our room also didn’t work the first day and I had to use a shower in another room. There so much more, I’m just appalled by this place.

    I notice that the positive reviews are NOT from patients. Most of the five stars seem to be from an event 4 months ago where someone named Lisa apparently presented. I am not going to go into detail, but I have diagnosed PTSD from staying at this place two years ago. I am just going to leave it at that. My psychiatrist encouraged me to report both the doctor and the entire hospital.

    My wife was admitted into their inpatient program and it was a horrible experience. She arrived at 4pm and wasn’t seen by a nurse until 11pm. She is hypoglycemic and has celiac’s disease and wasn’t given any food or water for over 7 hours. Her roommate was a wheelchair user and a fall risk and my wife had to help her bathe because the staff wouldn’t help her. I feel horrible, because I was told by the counselor at the hospital that she was going to one of the best facilities around. I didn’t check the reviews of this place before sending my wife here and it was a mistake on my part. The staff here are abusive and incompetent and are making patients conditions worse through negligence. I would not be surprised if lots of people have died here as a result of “care” that they received. There need to protests in front of this place and it needs to be shut down. This “Hospital” made my wife’s PTSD worse! Please please please don’t send a loved one here.

    This place should be shut down. I am scarred by the abuse and neglect I suffered at this ward. It is like a manic prison. The “nurses” are nothing but guards there to intimidate and violate the “patients” or should I say inmates. The facilities (showers, beds, etc.) are deplorable and you can barley see outside because the windows are mostly covered. The images shown here do not accurately depict the area of the hospital I was kept in, the conditions were very different. It’s an environment intended to induce prolonged insanity and suffering as far as I can tell. I will never be quite the same after my stay at this “hospital”. It took me years to psychologically recover from the experience and only recently did I regain the required confidence to leave this review. I sincerely hope legal action is someday taken against this establishment and its employees.

    I went here the beginning of August for being suicidal. I was only there 3 days but it was awful. William, Bri and the music therapy teacher we’re pretty much the best ones there. You don’t talk to a therapist. There is no therapy. It’s them basically babysitting you. You do t get any better there. One thing good about that place was the food wasn’t awful. I wouldn’t recommend this place. I cried each day that I was there. It’s awful. Maybe if they have a therapist to talk to, it might be better. But all they do is babysit you.

    My son was pink slipped and sent to this hospital in this hospital is deplorable. He told me stories about staff, two staff members that work there kept him and peed on him and beat him up. I wouldn't send my dog to this place and I agree it needs to be shut down cuz the stories that I heard from my son he was there. This place isn't fit to be to be open and it's pretty sad that the state and their social workers that work they're supposedly for you. But they don't help the people. And I'm hoping with the without whoever has the class action suit against you people you all get shut down because your ruthless you're rude your rude to people. You don't listen to them and you falsify information that I know for a fact

    Before coming to this place, I was in nursing school and worked at a local hospital. After having an incredibly traumatic stay at Ohio hospital for psychiatry, I have put a hold on nursing school and quit my job since I can’t drive past a hospital without bursting into tears and having a PTSD reaction. I was transported here from an ER and not a single person here evaluated me- not even the intake person. They put me in adult behavioral unit where nobody knew that I was going through serious opioid withdrawal until I told them- even though I told intake person. Over the next few days, I was not fed, I had no help, and was verbally and physically abused by staff. After looking at these reviews, I can see that I am not alone. The staff emotionally abused me non stop and when my parents called to leave messages and just to say “I love you” the staff withheld those messages from me. There is a lot more I would like to say but I will save that for an upcoming potential lawsuit I would like to pursue.

    I wouldn't even give them 1 star but you have to so you can right a review. This place is a joke. If it wasn't for my mom and sister having an appointment to go over my dad's care he would have died. My sister had to tell them to call 911, and the nurse went to get the doctor and he wouldn't leave a meeting to come and help him. If you care anything about your family members don't take them here.

    My dad was placed there by Fairfiel Medical hospital in Lancaster Ohio. He should not have been placed there. They said he was going to go there for meds to be regulated. He’s 82 years old. He was walking talking very active took care of himself and drove he was there for four days he was severely doped up severely stated I went there and pull him out because I live out of state because they refused to let me talk to him. They refuse to let him have visitors. I pulled him out on Friday. He was admitted to Mount Carmel East. because when I pulled him out, he could not walk he could not talk. He couldn’t do anything And now he’s on life-support because he had a massive stroke in that unit and they refused to acknowledge that, instead of thinking that he was being mean, they sat there and sedated him instead of taking care of him for a stroke I Now have to take my dad off life support and bury my dad because of this place .he was not given any medication. and the one medication that he needed to not have any strokes, they refused to give him instead of not wanting to deal with these people they sedate them, They said at Mount Carmel East that he was severely abused for those four days he had bed sores on him from where they put him to pull up and let him sit there for hours. At a time he was severely dehydrated severely malnutrition. How do I know all this Mount Carmel East verified it with me and told me This man was fine when he walked in I would like to file a class action suit against them if. You would like to join me please let me know because I am hiring a lawyer and I’m taking them to court because they killed my father and they will pay for it because I don’t want somebody else’s family going through the pure hell that I am going through right now

    All they do is hold people hostage to get as much money as possible from people that need help. They will tell you one thing but then do the exact opposite. Don’t believe them if they say your family gets to go home on a certain day. It’ll be more likely a month later just to get as much money out of you as possible. 0 out of 5 stars

    + Employees are LITERALLY fantastic, caring, and fast at everything they do + Medications are always prescribed as needed, correctly + No lack of utilities (soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, or whatever else) + Able to shave, if needed, as soon as you'd like + Smoking is avaliable = Food is decent

    I’d leave no star if I could. The staff treats vulnerable people horribly, and think that they can get away with it because nobody will take people with mental illness seriously. This facility needs to be shut down with their staff being banned from caring for people who need support. It’s absolutely disgusting that even after everyone sharing their stories this place is still up and running. DO NOT send your loved ones here. DO NOT go in if you need help. You won’t get what you need and you will end up feeling worse after your stay.

    My cousin was pink slipped here after showing suicidal thoughts coming off a drug bender. Already traumatized by a domestic dispute and being in the back of a police car it only got worse from there. He knew when they told him where they were sending him that it was gonna be bad from knowing that OHP is a PTSD nightmare from reading reviews previously. Countless other reviews stating active PTSD after leaving this facility. Most of the nurses are incredibly rude and would rather socialize in the office behind the nurses station than actually help any patients. An older lady in a wheelchair was constantly ignored by staff and had to be wheeled around by other patients. He had multiple panic attacks and blood pressure spikes and nurses refused to give anything to calm these panic attacks even after days and days of multiple panic attacks and visible blood pressure spikes. His last day there he described as a bad acid trip. There are no books, only some word searches and coloring pages with DULL pencils. Most staff refused to do basic things like sharpen pencils to do one of the ONLY activists there is to do at this dump. Whoever the lady in charge of the groups would never call out that there was a group and she showed up maybe twice in his 5 days there. She did not attempt to engage anyone. Total joke. Had to ask staff behind nurses desk for the remote every time you wanted to change the Channel. He was placed in the violent all mens unit at first and took multiple panic attacks for them ti finally switch him to dual diagnosis where he should have been sent in the first place. I could write about this all night as I’m shocked how this place is still open after all the accounts of PTSD leaving this place. Only saving grace was miss Mary and miss shay who actually care about their jobs and took time to actually speak to patients with compassion and take them out for some air. Food was gross almost everyday for every meal. There is something absolutely creepy about this place and Just stay away unless you want PTSD

    A terrible place! A loved one was taken here without our consent, the only time they called us was when they wanted money. Never talked to a doctor, we could not visit. He was treated very badly, he was walking with a cane when he went there. 5 days later, they took him to another hospital and never told us. Developed a very bad bed sore, and has not been on his feet since. Please avoid this place.

  • 1/5 MISSMARIE 4 years ago on Google
    It's a medicated daycare and scared me so badly. Only a few staff or nurses care and the doctor on the Abu ward didn't know you could be born with the heart condition I have. 40 years ago that wouldn't surprise me but nowadays it's a well known about defect. They medicate people with the same psych meds after talking with them for less than 20 minutes. They do not listen to your concerns and most treat you like a disobedient child. There is no personalized counseling or therapy. The recreational group therapy is targeted for young adults or teens and they often skip meaningful group times and just hand out simple skills sheets and apologize for the lack of time to help us. I can't say I hated all of the people there. I just did not feel safe and feel like there should be more treatment.

    If I could rate this place a zero I would. Can’t believe there doors are still open. Went here for PTSD. I was physically assaulted by staff, was denied food. My husband called Medicaid and told them what was going on to get me out. I filed charges against the employees who left bruises of their hand prints on me! This place needs to be shut down permanently!

    It's a horrible place to be. The staff cld care less about the actual health of the patients. I arrived with a bladder infection and and cldnt pee for 4 days and I told the staff, the nurse practitioner, and the dr and still they refused to give me my antibiotics. It's all about $$$$ in that hell hole. Regardless of ur mental state if u don't have hella good insurance or a medical card they kick u bk out on the street.... It's a great place to be if you wanna finger paint and play video games tho 🤷🏼‍♀️ Because of this place I will NEVER seek help for my mental health again for fear of being sent bk to OHP. A man with hepatitis A, B, and C was housed with a lot of ppl that dnt have it and hep A is very contagious. We weren't even informed that we were at risk! This place is a joke! The only reason I gave 1 star is because I cldnt leave a review without at least giving 1 star 🤮🤮🤮

    My boyfriend recently stayed here for a week seeking treatment. This entire experience has been nothing but hell. Torture. For him and his family & I. These people will not let you talk to your loved ones. They will not let you know any information. They are terrible and returning calls or conveying messages. My boyfriend was fed half a slice of pizza after 3 days of not being fed. He also was drugged up 99% of the time he was there having no control over himself and they controlled him. DO NOT TAKE SOMEONE YOU LOVE HERE. YOU WILL RUIN THEM. ID GIVE ZERO STARS TO THESE MONSTERS IF I COULD

    My son was pink slipped and sent here. My biggest problem with this place was communication. They changed what unit he was in and no one told me anything. Apparently visiting hours were different but I didn't find that out until I went to visit at the wrong time. Good luck trying to get thru to anyone to find out what is going on behind the locked doors. They should really work on communication with families.

    Do not send your loved ones here. They do not follow the law. They do not give treatment plans, there is no programming, they do not set you up with the legally required outpatient med management or counseling necessary. They keep patients far longer than necessary. There are a few great staff members, but their excellence does not negate the systemic issues of the facility.

    The facility was unclean for the first few days I was there, there is no social distancing for COVID-19, I am a heart patient and have had a heart attack recently, but never saw a doctor until the day I left, I was vomiting, had chest pain ect, Multiple meds were not given to me, and other patients (BP meds ect.) This place needs more DOCTORS, there was no one on one counseling either. The food was terrible, they make you shower with hand soap, some of the staff are rude, (not all). To think I had a heart attack in the past week and no one there even treated me for it is a GIANT red flag.

    Horrible treatment. Horrible food. Understaffed. This place was disgusting. The staff all had horrible Bedside manner. Many of them smelled bad. Got very little to eat. Did not get ANY of my medications for 48 hours. Sat in “intake” for 5 hours waiting for a room. If I could give them 0 stars I would.

    This place doesn’t even deserve half a star. The techs there were horrible. They cussed, made fun of patients, ignored you when you tried to ask anything. The only tech that was helpful was Ms Betty. Upon admission they just dump you in a room and leave it up to you to figure out what’s going on. The majority of patients were drug users, when I asked to not be mixed with them they told me to stay in my room. You are isolated from everything. They claimed to have lost my belongings and therefore I had nothing until the billing guy wanted money and suddenly my purse appeared. They had a scheduled for each day posted but never once followed it. When my loved ones would call they could never get through despite having my hipaa code. A doctor talks to you less than five minutes on your first visit and less than one minute each day after. They hold you longer than the 72hrs you’re told you would be there. I was there 7 full days before being released. I’ve never been to jail but I’m positive this is VERY close to it. They also kept mixing me up with another patient by the same first name and last initial. Which was scary because I wasn’t sure of what meds they were making me take. The ONLY good thing I can say is, the serving size of meals were good and I never went hungry. Other than that this place only scares a person into never wanting to speak up again. Your loved one will be treated poorly, made fun of, ignored and isolated, getting ABSOLUTELY NO HELP while being held what felt like hostage.

    If I could give this place less than one star, I would. This place treats your family horrible! They refused to follow diet orders, causing my loved one to become physically ill even more so than their disability already makes them, they did not allow for my loved one to receive the proper treatment (IV fluids), did not give my loved one all of their medication, nor would they allow her to speak to a counsellor, psychologist, doctor, etc. The disrespect we received while trying to check on my loved on was insane. We were blatantly ignored, made fun of, and refused service to a restroom after having been there waiting on the social worker for 6 hours causing incontinence issues for another loved one of mine. This place should be shut down. Whatever you do, DO NOT allow your loved ones to be places in this disrespectful, dangerous facility.

    I Interviewed here a couple months ago. Was offered the position on the spot. I was given instructions on next steps but never heard back as promised. Left several messages over 3 weeks for the head of HR and never received a response. Not even to say we changed our minds or anything. Extremely unprofessional. After reading their reviews I think it’s safe to say that was a bullet dodged.

    The first thing that struck me was the smell of urine. The staff on the geriatric unit was terrible, mean and abusive. They provoked fear in the patients. The psychiatrist was decent. The social work staff was a joke. Goals recorded in paperwork were neither developed with the patient nor even addressed with the patient. By far the worst experience for the patient of all psych hospitals.

    I was sent here against my will due to being legally kidnapped (AKA pink slipped). I'm shocked at the amount of reviews that describe nearly identical traumatic experiences from this sad excuse for a "hospital". I developed severe PTSD and mistrust in medical health professionals as a direct consequence of my treatment at OHP. Here are only a few of the many bad experiences I had happen there: I was not included AT ALL in my care plan formation nor was I filled in regarding any treatment or care plans. I spent 4 days in painful withdrawal due to not being administered my prescribed SSRI's that are notorious for unbearable withdrawal symptoms if suddenly stopped. This never should have happened. The staff were verbally abusive to both me and other patients, were completely impatient and lacked zero empathy or compassion towards an already vulnerable population. I suspect there is very little training required to work here...which is scary. While I was there, my family and doctors tried desperately to reach me only to be told that I was being uncooperative and they needed my permission to talk to them. I was never notified that anyone had called for me. Other patients had similar experiences. The staff does their best to prevent any and all communication between patients and the outside world...one can only imagine why. As a medical health professional myself, I was appalled at the conditions here and especially at the blatant disregard for human dignity and autonomy. The trauma I experienced here impacted me so severely that I have had to leave my career in the medical field until I heal and gain more trust back for doctors and nurses. The fact that so many people are being sent to this place against their will, and walk out even more traumatized and mentally damaged than when they walked in is evidence enough that OHP should be shut down ASAP. ANY medical professional who sends a patient here does NOT have that patient's wellbeing and health as a top priority. Ohio hospital for psychiatry is a dangerous and damaging place. After being out for almost 11 months, I am STILL suffering from the PTSD I developed under their deceptive "care".

    This place needs to be shut down. My loved one was pink slipped by the police and hospital staff during a psychotic break. He was never given a code for us to call (he's been pink slipped many times and has ALWAYS called), and we went through 3 days not knowing how he was doing. Then, we get a call from the emergency room saying he sustained injuries in the hospital. Come to find out he was beaten, abused, and threatened by the hospital's STAFF. I'm talking broken bones, black eyes and concussion. They never sent police or anyone to document what happened at the emergency room, and when we called them they said they never heard of what happened.They refused to even let him shower or take any of his needed medicine. They lost his medicine and rings that he brought to the hospital. This place is disgusting, the staff is horrible evil people, and now he's more traumatized than he was before he came there for HELP.

    A friend was sent to this place and his Grandma or I were unable to talk to him, or anyone else. The website says they include patients family. NO THEY DONT. You call they ask if you have the code never tell you how to get that code. the code comes from the pt who by the way is in crisis. He called once and I did not know to ask him for the code. Then a week later he calls and he is back in town , he is homeless and they just dropped him off in town . Never touched base with anyone. Please do not send anyone to this place!!!

    Never send anyone you care about to this place. Please read all of the negative reviews. They are 100% accurate. They keep people drugged so they are out of it during their stay. The staff is rude and verbally and mentally abusive. They keep people longer than necessary so they can collect more money. My insurance was billed $44.000.00 for 9 days and I had to practically beg for basic toiletries. Medications were not prescribed by a doctor, they were prescribed by two different nurses. One nurse prescribed vitamin d and the other prescribed several mind altering drugs. Why the discrepancy? This place needs to be investigated. There is something off here. Stay far away from here!

    My daughter was pink slipped here recently. They released her still in psychosis and with meds that didn't work for her years ago and obviously not going to work for her now. They completely ignored her writings and obsession with numbers, her talking to people who aren't there and her refusing to take any meds at all. Never called me (her caretaker) to see what symptoms she was having. This place is a ridiculous failure and I wouldn't be surprised if they have caused the deaths of numerous patients.

    Most awful mental health experience of my life. The experience from having one of their own staff members try to get me to live with him after leaving in addition to the insane lack of treatment I received while there haunts me nearly a decade later. I can’t even begin to explain my disgust with this establishment. I was so weak, and one of the night workers took something from me that I can’t get back.

    Please please please never go here! The staff is awful and have no clue what they’re doing. They almost killed multiple people, neglect their patients, and make things worse. They do not help with meds and do not do any form of counciling. This place was more like a prison! Myself, and everyone in there plans to sue them for their treatment to patients! DO NOT GO HERE!

    As a family member of a geriatric unit patient I also work in the medical field as a MLT : first I wanna say I would not send even one star if I could. They mistreat their patients they jabbed an ink pen into my mother in law 4 times. They would force her to walk the hall way without her oxygen (i witnessed this for myself during visitation). When it came to looking for a nurse to talk to or get help from they were all piled in the back talking and laughing with one another. Majority of their nurses seem to be jamaican and can only under stand half of what they say. To top the day off when walking into the facility I seen what I thought was a wallet so I went to turn it in and got stuck in the finger by a needle. When I talked to someone from their risk management department about the incident they brushed it off like it wasnt a big deal. We also got risk/patient management involved in my mother in laws situation because of her care there. They filed a report, not sure what will come out of it yet. I will update this post....

    My brother stayed for a few days. It was dirty and gross. The staff are horrible! Refusing to give him his medicine or giving it to him at the wrong time. They wouldn't communicate anything between us and they did NOTHING to help! Not even for his pain.

    Try literally anything else before admitting yourself or a loved one here. This is not a hospital. You will not come out better. I have far more trauma from my experiences here than I do from what I came to get help for. The only help or support I received was from other patients, not from any of the staff. I won't say everyone who works here is a monster, because that’s far from true. (I remember a very kind man in the dining hall who talked to patients like they were guests at a fancy restaurant. I think he was trying to treat the people he encountered with the respect he knew they wouldn’t see anywhere else.) However, the staff members with competence or compassion can’t do much because they don’t have the resources they need to do their work properly. It took literal days of begging to be allowed medicine for my severe chronic pain. The ladies wanted to help but didn’t even have time to fill out the paperwork to give me Tylenol. These employees are also victims of this system’s abuse. I was stripped and given clothes many, many sizes too large that I had actively hold up every moment. I spent my first day without use of my hands to avoid exposing myself. I may as well have been naked and this severely exacerbated my sexual trauma. I was angrily berated and humiliated for crying on the phone when I couldn’t sleep in the 65-degree rooms with a single thin bedsheet. I was hungry, cold, and in constant fear the entire stay. The person who “diagnosed” me did so before even talking to me once. I’m not a doctor, but I’m reasonably sure that’s not how it’s supposed to work. “Doctors” will angrily point at you and bark orders when it’s your turn to see them. They won’t bother to keep track of which patient you are when they talk to you. One woman kept insisting over numerous meetings that I was denying an alcohol problem. I had no idea what she was talking about until she called me by the wrong name. I should not have to explain to mental health professionals what the word “transgender” means. That is beyond pathetic. They will repeatedly threaten to sue you for leaving when your sentence is up. They do this to every prisoner with insurance. These are empty threats. They prescribed and force-fed a medication that I told them numerous times makes me horribly sick. There are dozens of antidepressants on the market that would have been appropriate, and they wouldn’t consider literally any of them because they do not care if you live or die as long as you don’t die on their property. They literally poisoned me because there was profit to be made in forcing the pills they wanted to sell. I had to immediately see my real doctor after release to help me recover from it. There is no treatment here. Your days will be spent staring at the wall, watching TV, or reading a single Bible on the shelf. To their credit they did allow my sweet mother to leave me a box of puzzle books and coloring supplies. I shared it with the rest of the ward and everyone took great comfort from them. Being imprisoned here will cost you or your insurance tens of thousands of dollars, and it would have cost them less than five dollars per ward to have these items. None of my experiences are unique. When I told my psychiatrist where I got sent, he was horrified. He says he’s shocked this place is still operating and always warns his patients looking for inpatient care to avoid it like the plague. A friend who’s a social worker in Columbus works for an agency that refuses to refer any of their clients here. I included discharge paperwork to prove I was here, just to cover my bases. I survived a mental health crisis despite this place, not because of it. I was robbed of any basic dignity. Several years have passed, and I still don’t know if I’ll ever really feel human again. I hope these warnings help somebody and I wish I’d shared them sooner. The nightmares never stop. I regret not pursuing legal action, but I survived the experience by doing the best I could to forget it. Forgetting hasn’t worked very well.

    Staff treated my family very well when they came to visit. I was treated fairly as a patient. I got put on medication and my head feels better than it has in a long time. This place will help people that want to get better.

    Go to another place if you truly want information and better ways to cope with suicidal thoughts. Most of the time, you just sit in a communal room watching tv. Eating ok food and not doing must of the activities in the "schedule" I made a formal complaint about the workers.

    Hateful and disrespectful staff. They will not help and they will likely recommend dangerous patients to discharge after 72hrs when they actually need to be inpatient long term. Do not go here for help.

    Promised a job was upfront about my past and everything. Even made preparations had my scrubs and everything and they stabbed me in the back at the last minute and told me they couldn’t hire me. For a past discrepancy that they knew about that is 15 years old. I would not come here for nothing the people lie in your face. Believe the other reviewers because the way they mistreat people. I hope they close this place down!

    I went in thinking I've been friendly since birth and was released thinking the same thing. Dr. Kwok said I could go to the Cleveland Clinic for genetic testing to see if I have the Williams Syndrome. Staff, Housekeeping and patients, perfect in every way (it's a country song). Thanks to all. Sincerely, Forrest.

    My Mom was here and it is pretty bad when I had to call Columbus police to do a well check on her. I don't even want to give you one star. I see you are under investigation and I pray you get shut down. They also kept some of her clothes and all her toiletries. You people should be ashamed of yourselves and I hope you never have to put your family in a place like this. Still waiting on a phone call.

    I completely am thankful for all the staff that has been there for me through my worse. I was treated w respect and they truly care. I didn't agree w everything of how a few things were handled. But I learnt so much in group therapy and met some new amazing friends who also were patients. It all depends on if you chose to want help or if you don't want help. Attitude is the main key at their facility. So my point is. You can't always go by the reviews bc each person has their own personal option of their experience their. But not 1 staff that I met was ever mean to me or pushed me away. Miss Betty and miss Alice was my fav nurse aids.

    Nothing like an ice cold shower to make you feel alive. 🔥 10/10 would recommend. I can say for a fact that the workers definitely do care and go out of their way if deemed appropriate. They fight the good fight.

    This place is a joke. Rarely answer the phone. Never able to get ahold of the people who should be caring for my family member. Won’t tell my family member or me ANYTHING about their care. I can’t even get any information about helping them leave and try to find another facility that ACTUALLY WILL HELP

And a couple of staff there where laughing and having a good time when someone was upset... That's to me not therapeutic at all... Very rude and short tempered place

    Not even using my real name because of how horrible this place was. I was admitted end of March into the beginning of April. I was pink slipped and sent to here a little over 2 hours away because of bed shortages in the surrounding area. Was able to read some reviews before getting sent here, begged and begged to be sent somewhere else even if it had to be a further drive. The intake process consisted of me sitting in a room for over 4 hours without getting told a single thing of what was going on, only given a cup of juice and some fruit snacks.The staff working my unit were absolutely horrible, cussing at patients, refusing to do basically any simple task you would ask of them. The kitchen staff were very nice the food is a somewhat different story. Didn’t have one “group therapy” session the whole time, the only one we had was where we got handed a radio (the nurse threw it down on the table and said here’s your f’ing music therapy). Didn’t speak to an actual therapist the whole time I was in there even though I got told I was going to. The only people I spoke to were nurses, the social worker, and then the dude that was telling me how many thousands of dollars the stay was going to cost me. Very smart idea to make someone stress about a bill when they are still in the hospital. They give you meds to help you “sleep” at night didn’t want to give me the name so I refused to take it. They give you a literal sheet as a blanket and I was freezing cold the 4 nights that I was there. Met a few amazing people who had some amazing stories as far as patients go (the only real people in that place). Luckily my mother made the drive almost every day which was the only thing that kept me sane in that place. I had to fake being better just because I was scared I was going to have to stay there longer. Needless to say this place should get put under some sort of investigation. Nothing about what they do there is humane and shouldn’t be allowed. If you have the option do not go, or send a loved one to this place.

    I was admitted to OHP in the beginning of February 2023 after an attempt. At first it seemed like it would be a decent place but I spent 6 days here and had a different opinion when I left. The techs that watched us weren't terrible but the nurses were pretty awful. The first night I was there they tried to give me medication they had not previously spoke to me about and when I asked what it was the nurse looked at me and said "you take this every day", I just got there that morning. I seen a nurse get frustrated with a patient because he wanted a bandage for a wound he had on his hand, she said "why is it my problem if he had it before he came in." Unbelievable. The cafeteria had mold on the ceilings. The only therapy we did was in the mornings for 45 minutes and it was arts and crafts basically. The woman that led the group sessions was one of the best people there, spoke briefly about coping skills and mindfulness, she's the only reason why I'm giving 2 stars. When I was discharged they didn't really go over anything with me about my diagnosis or medications. Just made me sign the papers. When I called back after I went home I wanted explanations of what they wrote down and no one ever got back to me. My therapist I went back to when I left said she wouldn't recommend this place either, but they did one thing and that was keep me safe from harming myself.

    I would give no stars if I could, this is a terrible facility. They made no effort to contact family members that are power of attorney. They wouldn’t even confirm that she arrived at the facility unless I had a passcode yet nobody called me to get a passcode. How the hell can a Psychiatric facility treat someone if they don’t know what symptoms to try to treat, yet they claimed she was treated and good to go. They sent my mother home when myself and my father plead and begged trying to convince them that she is not ready. They refused to reevaluate and sent her home anyway. Once she was home she reverted right back to her old ways that caused us to take her to the hospital in the first place. If you read this with thoughts of sending a loved one here, my suggestion is to keep searching.

😐 I at first gave them 5 stars(the Dr's are great and still deserve 5 stars) my problem is the billing and communication side. At first everything was good,but recently they keep sending me random bills with random amounts after I've paid my copay. It's not on my insurance side I have talked to them....
