It took 4 days to get my clothes from the main office .
This facility is not clean. My room was cold during my whole stay and the shower was cold too. When I got to my room it was dirty and the sink had toothpaste spit from last person there. There were curse words on the ceiling and the walls and floor was filthy. This increased my depression to think they care so little that your room is filthy and cold and it should be reported as a health hazard. The food is typical cafeteria food and very unhealthy.
The staff is under skilled as far as caring for you and knowing really what to do and say. We had group discussion that consisted of outdated or questionable material. Was not helpful to me at all and stressed me out because everyone was required to speak in front of group and I’m extremely shy. I did not once get one on one counselors except to ask questions like are you depressed and are you suicidal etc. and a couple doctors that prescribed med to help me sleep. Other than that nothing changed. I felt like I was in jail and being punished rather being help. This is my honest opinion and I would not wish on my worst enemy. ITS AWFUL!!!!
Screening incoming patients , for the safety of other patients.
Very understaffed .
Take my advice, don’t stay in a place like this or send a love one there unless you feel reasonably afraid they’ll slice their throat open if they’re out another night. It’s a last case scenario place.
They kept her for six days, and didn’t let us know how long it would be until the third day. Had they released her after two, maybe three days, it seems like she would have been better. As stood, she was worse when she came out then when she went in. It was a miserable experience for everyone involved.
Nothing to occupy patients during free time . Need books , magazines , puzzles .
Very dissatisfied with the quality of the facility . Broken equipment in kitchen area. Floor ice machine was out of order for 4 of the 6 days I was there. Patients were not allowed sodas but the staff would drink them in front of patients while we drank room temperature tap water .
Windows in rooms were etched so you couldn't even see outdoors.
Rooms were not clean . I took my bath towel and mopped my floor and cleaned the dust off the bed frame.
No soap or paper towels dispensers in rooms. Hand sanitizer is available at nurses station .
A loved one was in here about a year ago. She voluntarily committed herself, and we had to wait a good three hours for her to be addmited. She thought she would only be there for a night or two. She hated it there because she had almost nothing to do and wasn’t allowed her phone or iPod or anything of the like. There was no privacy, not even curtains on the showers. She wasn’t allowed to sleep in, and she said the nighttime staff were discussing how suicidal people are selfish and stupid.
No call button in rooms in case you needed nurse .
Don't let the negative reviews deter you from going here. Yeah the food is hit or miss, but if you actually want help, this is a good place to go. I went in voluntarily, and I can say that it really has helped me. There are different levels of treatment depending on your needs, not just inpatient treatment. I was in inpatient and am currently in the Partial Hospitalization Program, and I feel that this place has truly helped me.
I went to Valley for about 6 days. When I first arrived, it didn't seem so bad, but then when you actually walk in and get registered its horrible. There are 8 sections to valley for patients as far as I know. Acute girls, Acute Boys, Sub Girls, Sub boys, Acute Women, Acute Men, Sub Women, Sub Men. While I was in Valley, a fight would break out almost everyday, more than once. I think there was only one day I wasn't in there when there wasn't a fight. Sure, Valley has "healthy" food and drinks but I'm pretty sure when you have to go to bed and they give you a benadryl, the water was drugged. I don't know what it was. And Every other day I was in there, I was sick and didn't get to eat. I don't recommend putting a loved one in Valley unless it was absolutely necessary.
They keep you locked out of your room and have nothing to do except watch tv or color like a first grader. It was degrading!
