Bournewood Hospital

Ryan Tobin

they discharged me without meds and i was def not in my right mind when they let me out , the doctors never even really spoke to me besides to ask if i was suicidal or homicidal , i crashed my car and almost drove it into a swamp less than 24 hours after leaving ! i then went into another hospital where i was actually treated and was given medication when i was discharged , Bournewood almost killed me by releasing me when they did !!

Good because of other patients are chill. Terrible because of how we’re treated by staff. Months later i still look back and think of how the NP disregarded my feelings. I was excited to have gone twice until i realized psych hospitals don't care about you. 1st visit I was Diagnosed with BPD but yet they couldn't explain it and said i just do things for attention. 2nd time I was discharged suddenly and they kept half my clothes basically shoved me in the van and said bye bye. Oh and pink chicken for lunch.

I don't know where all these low reviews are coming from. It has been two years since my visit here. I was in because I was going through deep depression, feeling suicidal, manic episodes and needed to get on meds and seek help. I had been to a hospital that was a really bad experience (shots, padded room, restraining and worse) This place completely changed my life. I have been to 3 other mental hospitals and this one is the best one I have been too. The other hospitalizations were when I was a minor and I came here as an adult. I was on the Kahn unit and everyone was great. I got through years of childhood trauma in just one group. I was in patient for about two weeks. They got me on the meds I needed, got me a counselor and support for when I got out. I am still going to therapy and my life has made a 360. I am so greatful for the experience I had because I wouldn't be the person I am today without them and the help they provided. This place made me able to live a normal life and gave me the ability to maintain everything around me and changed my outlook. If you need help, please find the strength in you to finally seek it out. I wish I had gotten help sooner after this because they made it soooo easy for me and gave me everything I needed. Also the food wasn't bad and the atmosphere was not stressful. Idk why everyone said the groups sucked because I did one with healing the inner child, meditation, coping skills ECT. This is the place you want to go to if you actually care about saving yourself and you have to take it seriously. They can't help you if you don't want it.

I had a great experience with the staff. However, I had patients violate my privacy and was also teased by other patients. It’s hard to recover in an environment like this. I decided to leave as soon as I could as I was there involuntarily. The resources were amazing, the only thing that made this a hard experience were the patients. After bringing up my issues they were brought up in community meetings which made me feel heard but the environment didn’t seem to change much. I know the staff only has a certain amount of control over that so it’s not really an issue with Bournewood, maybe the control they have over patients? More surveillance on conversations to make sure others aren’t being teased. Being bullied can be very triggering for some and bring a halt to recovery, self-healing journey for some. I'm grateful for the care I received here. Thank you!
