Worst experience ever you ruined everything! Not helpful at all. If you enjoyed your stay there then you must of been higher than a mother. The staff are unprofessional, I was 20 it was my first time being around a bunch of old people like that I felt so unsafe around these crazies I was scared af. I hope the place burns

Objectively speaking, when I was sent to Fuller Hospital, it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I was mislead by my medical providers and essentially trapped in an institution with severely mentally ill / really deranged individuals. There are too many things wrong with this hospital to list, so here are just a few things to know. Upon arrival at Fuller, I was lead to believe the program would be 3 days, so, I signed a 'voluntary' 3 day hold. This ended up turning into a 7 day nightmare in which I was trapped with no direction, confused, extremely bored, no idea of what was required of me, repeatedly verbally assaulted by a 6' 4" 250lb monster, all while staff did nothing to ensure my physical safety despite my reporting hate speech / racist remarks. This was witnessed by several patients. I am disabled and was terrified - I made this clear, yet absolutely nothing was done to remedy the situation. They did not provide for a safe / comfortable environment for treatment. There is clearly a valid safety concern when every 'code 22' (hands-on safety team required). I was never informed of my rights - they didn't tell me if I objected to the 3 days, they would have to provide me an attorney at their expense who would meet with me within 24 hours. I was placed in a room with 3 beds, one 1/2 bathroom which you couldn't access without a member of staff unlocking the door. Absurd. My roommates were fantastic - they helped me get acclimated to the environment as staff clearly wasn't going to help. Your day begins with breakfast at 8:30. First, you have to track down staff to let you into your bathroom. There are 2 showers for the entire unit, so, taking a sanitized shower (stall) before breakfast was difficult. The bathrooms were disgusting. Two people developed athletes foot, that I know of, one of which had to be admitted to another hospital for treatment. The bathrooms were never adequately cleaned. Scroll down a few reviews, there are pictures of the actual bathrooms. Pictures don't lie. Breakfast was interesting. Expect to eat cheddar cheese omelettes 2/3x per week with a sausage patty, store bought corn mini corn muffins, and oatmeal. Drinks available in 4 (maybe 6) ounce styrofoam cups. The quality of food was a 2 /10, however, the cook was a very jovial staff member. He greeted everyone with a big smile, unlike the dinner cooks. Thank you sir for starting our day on a positive note. You are only given about 20-25 minutes to get and eat your meal. More often than not, I ended up not having enough time to eat my meal. Next I met with my nurse practitioner who was just a vile person. She literally laughed at me, then talked down to me, provided zero help, and left me with a bad taste in my mouth. After having two medications added to my treatment plan, I asked a follow-up question when I next saw her and she laughed and said 'I would never prescribe that for you', yet the medication list was reviewed by the medical director in her absence the day before, who made no mention of there being any issues. Further, she never actually changed anything so the nurses continued the same regiment... Several other patients share similar viewpoints. Even staff remarked that they have heard similar complaints in the past. When I got home I didn't know what to take. Not knowing what to do, I ended up starting the monotonous routine of daily groups. At one group, there was so little unit involvement that there was just one other patient participating. Most groups referenced tons of paper handouts that were promptly thrown away, not recycled, by most participants. When I inquired as to why they don't recycle, no one could give me a clear answer. So much paper wasted. Most groups proved to be a waste of time. Groups aren't run by licensed therapists, rather, trained employees who print handouts off the internet and simply read aloud. I did everything I was supposed to do, yet, the nurse practitioner held me for 2 extra days with zero explanation.
