Bournewood Hospital Reviews ( 84 )

  1. Horrible horrible place. Please do not place your loved one here. They admitted my grandson had an illness yet dropped him off at the T Station before any treatment plan was put into place.

  2. I wouldn’t recommend this place very unorganized and do not take parents concerns into consideration if it’s not there way u don’t get anything out of them it’s a disgrace

  3. Can’t recommend the Adolescent Inpatient Program. The head psychiatrist, Dr. Hart, is extremely strange, and struggles to figure out when to be serious and when to appeal to the sarcasm and cynicism of his teenage patience.

  4. I would not trust this location. You come out more messed up than you did when you came in. They let me down and now I have to go else where to try to deal with the trauma they caused me. This place is not what it seems to be.

  5. I was hospitalized here for a mental break down.. and I hate to admit it but I’m glad I was here.. The staff and patience all help each other out. We learned our triggers and how to calm / deal with it

  6. This place is excellent they helped me in becoming a better person without this place honestly don’t know where I would be without all the great help from them I am grateful for the doctors and all the nice nurses and especially the social worker I had thanks for everything

  7. awful facility. especially dr. hart. had something called “interpersonal” where they would put all the suicidal kids in a room to talk to each other, but coping skills were strictly not allowed. absolutely stupid. never send anyone here.

  8. Had to stay here for a few days. Staff was very professional and helpful. If I have to be hospitalized again, I will request that I be sent to Bournewood. The experience was much, much better than I expected it to be.

  9. Awesome place staff and people are just great. I was in Emerson #2 duel dinosios. Here are some pictures of this place
    Outside, and inside of the white house The I.O.P call them for help. They saved my life. !!!!

  10. When i was here as a youth they were absolutely terrible and still are people who deal with problems with the patients well every body is their for drastically different reasons and different outcomes after words i felt sorry for people …

  11. It was awful. No one did A THING for me. At all. It was like no one watched us… We were minors… There was cutting and purging and restricting going on while there. Clearly going on. They did nothing. Said I still wanted to kill myself and they sent me home the next day.

  12. Had to go to this waste of tax-payer money facility for a mando vacation. Got out a week ago and just looked at the paperwork to find out they lied. They withheld one of my discharge papers so I couldn’t read it I didn’t sign it but staff …

  13. My husband 52 years old is currently a patient there. This is his 5+ admission to just this facility. Approx. 20 admits over the past year alone. Not even 24 hour after he was admitted I got a call from “his social worker” who wanted to …

  14. I was there for mental health. The staff was amazing. Especially this young lady B. What a great place to time to recover. The only thing i would suggest would be 1 on 1 time talking to someone about your mental wounds!

  15. I stayed here for about a week and this place really helped me a lot. The staff are helpful and the groups are usually fun. Also I had a really good time here, I think I laughed here more than I have in my whole entire life to be honest.

  16. My experience is from shared client info, and from several. Seems a great place to dissapear, not held responsible and famous for new beginnings for all needing a society break, a chill place to crash if need a week away,a few hookups and …

  17. I have only seen one consistancy with this hospital and its the negligence bestowed upon its patients. From articals to reviews from patients, employees, local residents, and patient loved ones reporting the lack of staff, underqualified …

  18. The psychiatrists seem to be the most professional and ethical people in this private hospital. The other professionals like RNs and supervisors that don’t work directly with patients are questionable and quick to address problems by …

  19. Had a family member stay here to help with her depression. She had serious complaints with staff. She was left outside for 30 minutes before anyone noticed. She’s been insulted by staff, and they made no effort to develop a discharge plan. If you can at all help it, go somewhere else.

  20. Got transferred there a month ago for h*rm and su*cial thoughts (im 16). Good place if you need a break from the real world. NOT good if you need attentive care. Don’t expect serious psychiatric help. I had a good time and the groups were …

  21. My brother uses the Bourewood when he has his break downs. Always says good things about them. Don’t know why so many people hate it. It’s the medical industrial complex, what do expect. I go by what he says about them. He asks to be taken …

  22. as my first time being hospitalized and in need of a dual-diagnosis treatment, i was promised to be taken care of… only to be put out on the street 8 days in because “mass health said so”. on my knees, BEGGING to be placed at an …

  23. Long story short, if you need some place to kick back and get some psychological help, expedited, this is the place for you. Other than that, do not expect anything else. Literally, come in and wait to meet with social worker/psychologist. …

  24. absolutely awful place. was sent here and the lack of control the staff have over the kids are astonishing. the experience of being there traumatized me, ever since then my life hasn’t been the same, i feel disconnected and more dull than …

  25. Was here 15 years ago, girls going into guys rooms and having sex then sneaking out before bed check. The night nurses I believe we’re asleep, had a patient go into seizures and us patients helped him, took a few minutes to rise her from …

  26. I’d give a 5 but when I was last there 2 years ago they still wouldn’t give transgender people room mates. No other problems. And I hope they have stopped that practice. Besides Whittier and bournewood I’ve never been segregated to my own room. And I’ve been alot of places.

  27. I’m very great full for this place. I”m loving the therapy . I feel heard and they try to understand me. Nothing is perfect and maybe i just really needed this help but i”m happy so far!

  28. I just wanted to say that this place is amazing the staff went above and beyond to make me feel safe and they comforted me kinda like if they were my own family the other kids I met there really cared and listened/gave me feedback and honestly the whole experience was super nice I learned quite a bit being there

  29. Took two trips here before I finally got help. In all staff are pretty cool. Some patients were annoying, but it’s a looney bin so go figure.. They did not help with my self harming, but they at least set me up with the out patient care I …

  30. I was there when I was 15 / 16 years old ( I’m 50) now!! for severe depression and suicide attempts!! The adolescent unit. It was a good place. We were locked in but the staff was pretty fun and cared! A girl I met there and became …

  31. My first experience, as I went there for depression, had nightmare problems and self harm, — it was alright but please do not go here if you honestly have your own plan for treatment. They did not help me with my personal problems nor …

  32. This place is lucky to have one star. Came out more messed up after my “treatment”. I was cooped up in a room for most of the day with little human interaction, if I had a panic attack that wouldn’t stop if they gave me a weighted blanket I …

  33. I definitely wouldn’t call my week experience here the worst, but it surely wasn’t the best. There were staff who were kind and genuine, along with staff that would sit there and noticeably laugh at other patients. We were however, allowed …

  34. Idk where all of you were. But my stay here was way better than I thought it would be. The food is better than most psych units. The staff is amazing. Matt and Cecilia and Amanda stood out to me most. Matt is easy to talk to. Amanda …

  35. If you value your friends and family take them elsewhere, abusive staff, gaslighting, and hippa violations everywhere. Not sure how to go about reporting them but this place needs to be closed

  36. I was admitted to this hospital on a December 14, 2016 for cutting up my arms and contiplating suicide. I had no privacy, which made me feel so much worse there. Sure, the staff and patients were nice, but the staff and therapists pretty …

  37. This place was the best thing that could have happened to me. I went my senior year of high school and at 17 years old I was terrified. They were comforting and everyone was helpful to my treatment. I am a skinny female that likes to keep …

  38. RUN FAR, RUN FAST! My daughter was inpatient at Bournewood. Not only was she bullied by the other patients, she was bullied by the staff. When I tried to pull her before her two week stay was up, the doctor refused because I had “good …

  39. Mental health treatment for minors was absolute garbage. It was like a
    prison, but maybe a bit worse. We were practically unsupervised, but
    at the same time we couldn’t do anything! Immediately upon arriving at …

  40. A doctor in this place induced in me a psychotic break by forcing me to cold turkey off Klonopin after being on it for 20+ years and refusing to believe me about this. I had a resting heart rate of 200+ for a full week. One nurse who …

  41. I am absolutely disgusted with this place. My daughter was experiencing psychosis be did absolutely nothing to help they slapped her on a medication and sent her home a week later. They did not do anything understand why This was …

  42. Honestly go get clean here. Best food in the recovery scene. It’s not close. The veggie burgers, OMG. It was also the last rehab I went to as a patient, but that’s more on me.

  43. This hospital needs to be shut down forever. I was sent here in May 2011 and I still have flashbacks of being restrained 3 times (that I remember), soiling myself each time, and being forced to take meds that I knew would only make things …

  44. This place saved my life the staff and counselors were invested in my recovery. My journey started here and now Im going on 5yrs sober. I showed up here literally in shorts and t-shirt wearing the foam hospital shoes in the middle of …

  45. definitely the highlight of this place is the staff. These people are some of the most kind and patient souls alive. The beds are nice and so are the pillows, but the blankets will leave you shivering overnight. …

  46. Terrible mental hospital, some of the staff is great but half of them don’t care and actually do their best to make patients angry/uncomfortable. One of the workers here would start fights with patients over personal stuff like ideology, I …

  47. they discharged me without meds and i was def not in my right mind when they let me out , the doctors never even really spoke to me besides to ask if i was suicidal or homicidal , i crashed my car and almost drove it into a swamp less than …

  48. Shout out to those who try their best staffed here. Shout out to Justin. ( it’s Jenny – manager of the band The Nervous Habits. We sang Bourewood Blues ) and please if you don’t give this job you’re all – consider another. Thank you. And goodnight.

  49. I don’t know where all these low reviews are coming from. It has been two years since my visit here. I was in because I was going through deep depression, feeling suicidal, manic episodes and needed to get on meds and seek help. I had been …

  50. The staff were very accommodating and helpful.
    They stuff 18 people into cramped rooms. Sometimes 4 people to a room with no place to put your belongings. There are only two bathrooms for the eighteen people …

  51. Staff was bad injored a kid in croinc pain and who was swearing at staff because he was puking in the bathroom and told him to calm down and injored a girl screaming vital thing they moslty cared about you being sudical and no other issue …

  52. Good because of other patients are chill. Terrible because of how we’re treated by staff. Months later i still look back and think of how the NP disregarded my feelings. I was excited to have gone twice until i realized psych hospitals …

  53. I got to say the worse place I have ever worked. I got assaulted by patients multiple times; even had to get staples. Then a week later I was FIRED for not deescalating the patient coming at me while I was on checks. Go to McLean. Way better job, better staff, better care, clean facility and better units.

  54. just got out of this place i had the best time!! i feel so fresh and they helped me so much. All the staff where amazing Charus the most. The kids are amazing to all very kind i made all kinds of friends and felt very welcomed! it was very …

  55. Wasn’t aware I could deny coming here, if I did I would have. The only reason I got through it was because of other patients, they’re support was amazing. The facility is treated like the ghetto. Hippa law is non existent. Therapy groups …

  56. Absolutely terrible, I told them that I have an allergy to a med and they told me that they might’ve put me on it the proceeded to put me on another med with the same side effect. …

  57. Do not be deceived by this hospital it may look nice on the outside but it is far from that on the inside. This was by far the worst mental health hospital stay in the history of mental health stays. I can say from an insider’s view and an …
