I was a patient there not too long ago, I thought it would be a great place but it was traumatizing half of the time. I made good friends there yes, but for staff… I had an only a couple nice staff who cared. As an older kid who had was In the same area as toddlers, when the toddler did something that was unsafe or to get us older kids in trouble, we would tell the nurse and they would respond with “He’s just a kid why does this pod have a problem with 5 year olds?!?!?” And we would get yelled at, that quote was in a screaming tone. At night, the same person who had yelled at us would invalidate my feelings of missing my home and being homesick as I am not used to being away from home and it’s a very traumatic experience as I am now scared to leave my home to go to places I don’t know. They also need to work on genders and pronouns. I’m non binary and everyone would misgender me because I had short hair. I’m glad they would apologize for it, but it needs to stop happening. There was also kids getting restrained or trapped in a room whenever they have a breakdown. I could hear screaming all night, it was terrifying. And what’s even worse is that during the little check in, in the morning, they would expose them on their breakdown and make them apologies while sobbing of embarrassment. And sometimes it feels like we can’t be honest to them, like whatever we say will make us stay longer. We need a better environment and give people breaks when they need it.
I stayed here once when I was 13 so about 7 years ago now. I thankfully didn't have to experience the worst of it but I saw so many other kids being poorly treated. They restrained a 15 year girl with autism for doing absolutely nothing she was just scared and pacing back and forth. They sent another girl for electroshock therapy when all she was experiencing was adhd, she'd come back not even knowing where she is and not being able to talk properly. Do not send your kids here please. I was terrified the entire week after seeing what was happening to my friends. Kids are not animals and do not deserve this treatment.
Nothing productive happens here. If you need serious mental help do not go to here. Groups were never productive kids made fun of each other. They would strap kids to a board till they went to the bathroom in their pants sometimes. The food is awful I lost so much weight while I was there bc the food was so bad. There are some great staff members, but like I said nothing productive happens here I rather get help for my issues then watch a magic show.
I came for a 13 week assignment…I stayed 10months. I didn’t want to leave, but I had a family that needed me back home. I miss it Bradley Hosp. every day. It was a rewarding position. I loved the camaraderie of the staff and knowing they truly cared for the patients there. The kiddos, I felt, were treated like family. The staff would frequently spend their own money getting supplies for them. The supervisors were always there to lend a hand when things went off kilter. I felt appreciated and I appreciated everything they did for us…the snacks, pizza night, t-shirts, meals, food trucks. It was a wonderful experience. I am trying to instill all I have learned to my new place of employment. When joint commission came in…the best compliment was: this is a place other hospitals should learn from. Thank you for the wonderful work experience. I cherished the staff and kiddos. Miss you all so much…love my Rhody family
My experiences here were horrible, been there 3 times. Over 2 months every admission, half the staff were amazing others not so. Very aggressive and disrespectful with the patients and parents. some of the staff or peer made me uncomfortable and every time I brought it up they wouldn’t help me, they don’t know how to help or handle kids when struggling. The medical teams were horrible too, took me awhile to get discharged, and when I did I didn’t get placed with no help like I was suppose to. Also stopped my meds and wouldn’t prescribe them to me. Horrible place and I don’t ever want to go back. I came out with multiple new disorders and issues.
I want to show my appreciation to a specific nurse on the harbor unit. In such a difficult time with my son being inpatient for the 6th ish time it never gets easier to go to sleep at night not knowing how your child is doing. EMMI sorry if the spelling is off does a wonderful job giving me a detailed report on my son’s status during her shift along with any information not reported by other shifts. She is pleasant to speak with and maintains a calm caring attitude. Thank you so much EMMI i honestly can’t put into words how much your efforts mean to me in this time.
How do I begin to explain my experience here. i was restrained 7 times there. 4 of the times i wasn't resisting. they became very aggressive with me. mind you i am a 116 pound 16 year old girl who was struggling most times when they became physical with me, especially the male staff. the male staff made me feel very uncomfortable. when i asked for female staff they did not comply very well even when i told them about my trauma history with men getting aggressive with me. i would never come back here again, on the other hand the tator totes were very exquisite.
Let Me Say This Hospital It’s Seems To Be All About The Money Of Your Insurance And Not about Your Child Me & My Wife Have Saw Things That Were Very Distrustful, no sense of communication with the parents at all and as I write this review they ignore our phone calls about our child discharge papers because it was our choice to pull him from the program . From our child playing with toys all day and not learn basic school work to other kids saying inappropriate things and not doing anything about it goes to show how this place really is
So it's hard to leave this review because it would be 5 stars. Unfortunately, you have a major issue with Morgan on your Harbor unit. It is clear her priority is not the children first and she is definitely power hungry. In this type of environment you can't have that type of personality in charge. Your nurses Pam and Judy hands down do there job so appropriately and listen to your concerns. It's hard enough having your kid In one of these units. Morgan made it so much harder. My child has a chronic illness along with psychological and she just toyed with it. Over and over in front of staff she tried to flex "muscles" making your other staff, who had come up with a plan with me look stupid. It's a shame. Other than Morgan insistent flexing of power. I want to thank the staff on the harbor unit. Shame on you Morgan. You are there for the WRONG reasons and it shows....
This hospital is not the place for your kid’s. I’m a activist for reform. The experience from people there is very traumatic. No child should ever have to go through what some of my peers have been through. The best way to save our kid’s life is not through this place.This place is not the solution to the problem but yet their the source of inflicted trauma… I have your back Gorge your not a lone in this fight brother. Smile because you are stronger from the trauma you went through.
