Georgia Regional Hospital

If I could give 0 stars I would for those of you who works agency be very very careful about this hospital. Their workers that work for them are evil they all stick together they are a African culture of people who will pick with u start mess and try and get u fired. They will not take up for agency individual because they all mad we making hella of money more then them and that’s what this mess is about it’s also not safe the Africans will leave steal time off the state hospital and get clean away with it, they do what they want and u will get left by yourself on a whole unit of criminally insane individual be careful and your safety is highly at risk ….. BEWARE AGENCY FOLKS DOCUMENT EVERYTHING U DO SOON OR LATER THE AFRICANS WILL GET U CLEAN UP OUT OF THERE

I admitted myself to a hospital for help. They sent me to Regional. In the 23 hours i was here, I was kept in a sort of waiting room. We were not given beds and even though I was in for a minor reason, I was mixed in with prisoners there for evaluation. They didn't separate gender and had only 3 orderlies watching the 13 of us. Some of the patients had violent tendencies and were free to wander. It took 6 hours for me to even speak to a doctor who said I will be released whenever they got around to it. Do not send anyone here. They took in 5 more convicts before I left. It isn't safe.

I was there from 08/2019 until 02/2020. Severe depression and suicidal. I was in the East Unit. I was not expecting not much and was totally shocked. Wonderful hospital. The care I received was beyond exceptional. I Loved The Recovery Mall and the gym. The grounds are Beautiful to take walks. Doctors and staff are Awesome. Much better care and experience then private hospital I have been in.

The staff is rude and disrespectful. They speak down to the family members. My son has been stabbed in the head, severely beaten, and overdosed and had to be hospitalized this facility needs to be monitored. How long does it take to get a real look into a poorly ran facility that uses over medication to control rather than rehabilitate?

Not a good place to go if you are serious about getting treated! There is no one site experienced couseler only students who are studying. The doctors often lie to patients and they jump to conclusions for a dignoses! You are treated like a prisoner. You can not get showers when u like or drink when u like. You aren't treated like a patient in a normal hospital because I guess mental illness isn't you really being sick. The nurses are terrible and if u self admit yourself even if you realize u made a mistake u can't go home! You are in prison for being sick here! You are treated as an animal! Everything u have seen in horror movies is this place just in a lesser does! Please refrain from this place or any state funded hospital and go to your local community center for mental health!

My beautiful daughter in there. Staff and Dr. Mercer have been extremely infomative. You really have 2 know what to ask. I like them. My daughter says some are nice and some seem not to care. But they are caring her good

Was assaulted by a staff member who was over 6'5" and 300lbs when i was a child. I was 14, maybe 100lbs. Punched me in the back of the head. Then picked up by the throat and slammed on a couch and then the floor. Then was kicked a couple of feet at a time, in the back I have one kidney from an accident when i was 8 all the way down the hall and through a swinging set of doors. Placed in confinement. Because he was hearing noises coming from a room after lights out. There was noise being made but not in my room. They did an internal investigation, took pictures of the bruising that was obviously a handprint on my throat, etc. Then said that because the witnesses and my statements were too similar that we had to have gotten together and made up the whole thing. That i had another patient do the bruises on my throat and all intentionally to try and get the staff member fired. Unfortunately my mother was severely depressed at the time and didnt pursue any type of action from someone outside of the hospital. So im not even slightly surprised with everyone on here talking about a bunch of people who have died while there.

I wish there was a lower rating than 1 star. This place is indescribable. I waited until our family member was safely out before writing this because if you question anything, the staff takes it out on the patient. The staff curse at the patients and call them retards. They refuse to unlock the bathroom for them and then punish them if they have accidents. The refuse to give them cups for water. All patients are treated deplorably, but the white patients are treated even worse. They are called stupid white boys and dumb crackers. The food is deplorable and in no way constitutes a healthy diet. The staff deliberately do things to antagonize the patients and then sit back and laugh when they react. Or worse, they give them a shot or put them in isolation for behavior that they provoked. A lot of the times, they blame the patients for imagining things because they are mentally ill but the families see and hear enough to know what's going on. Even most of the professionals are rude and irritable. The few staff and professionals who are compassionate seem helpless or unwilling to challenge what's going on.

My sister called me this morning with a panic attack. She suffers from grave mental and emotiobal disorders. I was at work I called 911 and sent them to her house. She called me back 9 hours later stating She was 10:13. Detained pending phyciatric treatment. I asked to speak with the doctor and or attending personel. Doctor refussed to get ob the phone. Addending lady who refused to say who she was said she couldn't tell me anything. These people are rude to say the least and more out of control than the people they treat. I will be filing a formal complaint with the medical board

I was here for 3 months in 2013... It was a horrible and terrifying experience. I was constantly abused physically and verbally. They force you to take medication and will force a shot on you and put you in solitary confinement for even expressing disagreement. I have nightmares about it still, please don't put your loved one here.
