my experience here was terrible. im not sure if Mr. Jean still works there, but when i was there, he was telling us how we are ill because we reject the lord, shaming us, and threatened to give a girl with tourette's syndrome "the shot" because she was experiencing tics.

I want my expensive personal belongings. $2000,00 knecklace my dad gave me before passing. I guess someone helped themselves to it. Couldn't find it when I called. I am reporting it to the detectives at theft. They need to be investigated by the GBI. I am the one. This is what happed after a so called fall. Five stitches under their care. Criminal!!!

I didn’t want to be there. The first couple of days were really rough. Lori was my first nurse and she was AMAZING! I wouldn’t have gotten through my first day without her. I was having a low day and didn’t want to talk. I wanted to cry and be alone. However Dionna pulled me right out of it! She knew I needed to talk and because of her kindness I was able to overcome my trigger. Brittany welcomed me. She made me feel welcome. Ietta was beyond amazing. There are not enough words to describe how she helped me. The ladies are so amazing! Rachel is a social worker and she is amazing!!!!! She is a very hard worker and I will miss her!! I wish I could just talk to her everyday! My support group grew and I could not have asked for better people! I love them!

I volunteered myself for the Outpatient Womens Program and it was eye-opening. It’s a trauma based program which makes you feel like you are heard and that you’re not alone in this world.

Yeah, when I was there as a teen it was no picnic, they put me on medicine I didn’t need, to the point that I felt like I could better treat myself than them, and that’s saying a lot. The staff would resort to intimidation if needed and seemed not to realize who REALLY pays their checks

Love Bug | Oct 31, 2018

I don't understand your question,SSDI is a form of payment. Are you referring to Medicare insurance.

Please can some parent share a recent experience? Need help for 22 yr old sin with mental health issues.

I strongly recommend Ridgeview, as I was a patient there. From what I can tell, Ridgeview has a great program for young adults.

Is this a safe place for a mentally unstable person?

Maddie | Oct 30, 2020
Yvette Hines | Oct 30, 2020

Yes the cottage I was in was. The night staff are not as friendly and used to doing nothing. Of course there are levels of mental illnesses so it varies where your placed. It is safe and from what I have heard from other patients is that its one of the better ones in the metro area

what type of clothes can be accepted. when can the package given. Do I need a code to speak to the patient and can i call them through the day. what time is best to call or I have wait for them to call me. What days are vistiting time and how

Ronald Martin | Oct 30, 2020
Katie Queener | Oct 30, 2020

It depends. If the patient is Inpatient, they can't use the phones whenever, but for only 10 minutes at a time. They have visitation days and clothes can only be brought at there time of admission and those can be dropped off at the Access Center. If they are in residence there, they don't have any access to the phones if they are young adult. Visitation there is on Sundays and Tuesdays and you can bring them stuff like clothes, food, and anything that is on a list of things they can have. And you bring that directly to them at visitation, but it will be checked over up at the house. Hope this helps!

Anyone look into Class Action?

Jeff T | Oct 31, 2019
