Anaheim Community Hospital

Ethical Issues: ABANDONMENT I was apart of their PHP program, when my three month program was over, I was not told my discharge date, a safety plan was not made for me to prepare me for my dismissal, and upon creating a follow up appointment with the nurse practitioner to continue being prescribed my medication—medication that keeps me from attempting suicide mind you—the nurse practitioner never reached out to me on said appointment date. Never had a 1 on 1 meeting with my therapist that was assigned to me throughout the entire time I was there as well. extremely unprofessional. exact legal action in the near future. this is medical abandonment, unlawful and unethical. the mental health care system is a joke.

No manners patients treated not like human beings! Sometimes they treat you worse than police treat criminals! They lost my wallet jewelry and more! They kicked me out of the hospital before I had a chance to figure out where to go and I wasn't from there! They don't like suicidal patients and have no clue how to treat them! Please people listen to me there are way better hospitals around don't choose this one!

For the love of god don’t send someone here and think you're doing a good thing. No group talk therapy, only music therapy where you sing or listen and occupational therapy (yard time). The “yard” on google maps is that 3 car width solid concrete box with only a sliver of the sky visible from inside. Basically everything i'm seeing people say is true. At the start of my week I was kinda scared to see the zonked out faces of the longer term patients but by day 4 the meds were already making it so bad I couldn’t really talk.

On hold for 40 minutes twice just to get hung up on twice. This place needs to be shut down yesterday. They do not follow any ordinances or guidelines they have no policies or procedures unless it involves corruption. Where is common etiquette these days.

I voluntarily came here because I was having a panic attack. When I asked to leave, they placed me on a 5150 hold without evaluating me at all which is illegal. The entire time I was here, there wasn’t a single therapist or therapy group offered. The “occupational” therapy was literally them letting everyone go outside and do nothing for 30 minutes. No instruction, no guided activities, nothing. The facility was also so disgusting and unclean it made me incredibly nauseous. Do not send your loved ones here if they need help. This place did literally nothing to help but pump people full of medication. Because I’m pregnant they couldn’t give me any meds so I was forced to sit there and do literally nothing all day. Not great for anyone’s mental health at all.
