Bloomington Meadows Hospital

You wouldn’t wanna come here regardless

You’re held for 72 hours

It's not terrible. The lemonade was good but the actual food gave me gas pains

Meadow's job is just to stabilize him. The rest will be outpatient. If they feel he is still a danger to himself they will keep him longer. My daughter is 13 and has been to meadows 4 times in the past 6 months. Only one time did she stay longer than a week but I will say that the doctor's at meadow's fought with the insurance doctors to keep her there and to get them to cover the stay. A lot of there staff changes from week to week because they use ppl who are independent. I never had trouble with them mistreating her. She loved the staff but the communication can become a problem. You will have to call, call, call. Write down everyone who makes contact with you and rather they are a therapist, nurse, etc because there staff does change a lot. Everytime she goes I mostly play phone tag the whole week with their staff.

7 days or longer depending on behavior. I would not recommend this place though! Very traumatic

Yes, but any hygiene products with certain ingredients are not allowed as in it can not have alcohol in it anything “harmful”

They do, but you don’t wanna go here anyways. It’s awful and they will overcharge them

Just 1

There is no longer a community message board as far as I know. The patient either has to call you themselves or if your on the patient's call list the techs or nurses will at least get a message through to the patient that you want them to call you

Some of the kids in the other side of my adult unit destroyed the hallway and I completely can relate. This place made me feel worse than I did when I got admitted. Hates it here hope and pray I never have to go back.

Hi, Braydan. Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us with your concerns. Due to federal patient privacy laws, we can only discuss care with a patient or guardian.

It’s an awful place. Very traumatizing especially for children.

Yes

No. You cant smoke as a pt here

No, you can stay with the person during the intake process but if they are admitted you can't. But ad long as you are on the list you can visit and call

The length of stay is usually about 3 days but may depend on individual needs. Visitation during the initial stay is not permitted. On going therapy is treated with therapy sessions 3 times a week.

Yes 7-10 days but if you can find a place that actually tries to find and treat the problem your better off. All they do is minimal therapy and push drugs

I worked at Meadows for 7 years, and most if not all of the therapists there are well educated in grief counseling.

Okay thank you so much
