These are nuts there's no reason to be worried about going in on a 72 hour hold or something temporary. If you stay respectful and listen to staff (if they're being reasonable) then you should really be fine here. The only problems …
I was there for 7 days. My friends at home were terrified for me because they saw all the bad but I had to reassure them that I was fine. People at Winnebago will complain about rude staff but the staff is only rude when the …
This Mental institution is clean and safe for employees and patients like it suppose to be. Some patients do not like that some doors are lock but is part of security. Some patients are admitted by court order against their will and is …
I'm writing this because before I went inpatient I read the here. I was really scared but it really wasn't as bad as other people say. It's not good compared to other psychiatric places (given it's an exclusively involuntary state …
Staff was fantastic and the people there were very caring. The reason why I leave three stars is the doctors. They treated u as a number but the staff treated you as number one. In all fairness it's been awhile. 2011
Good food clean room excellent helpers great staff V
Hey tbh it's not that bad I went there for a week and everyone was really nice to me.
The food was decent and they brought it out warm I was in the kids section. I …
honestly it helped a lot. it was actually fun talking with people doing perler beads coloring etc showers and food was good . the one thing I had a issue on was the staff some staff were amazing but most were so disrespectful and rude . it …
My son had excellent care there. Everyone was kind and caring. The Social worker was highly involved and kept our family update. It’s always a hard place to be but felt his care was good.
The place operated quite well considering the staffing issues (i.e. staffing shortage). Food was decent programming was good (except weekends/holidays). Staff was kind and on top of escalating issues. I felt comfortable and safe there considering it was a strange place to be in.
The staff was very rude. They often talked about me openly and in front of other patients. Terrie Vann-Ward often complained about having to travel for a long time to see me at Winnebago. Against the judgment of my 14 yr patient …
The. Mandated overtime was too much for me to handle! 16 hour shifts as an RN with an adult child with disabilities living with my husband that works night shift was more than I was able to handle. I can’t even imagine the demands of a …
They intentionally suffocate patients here. During my stay the patients were complaining that it was hard to breathe and the PCT said “if it’s hard for your brain to get oxygen try drinking water” something along the lines of that. This …
THIS IS NO PLACE FOR CHILDREN! My son is 9 and he has behavioral problems due to him being autistic and having ADHD. I got the chance to visit today for the first time and I was horrified! The building and staff are enough to scare anyone …
This place doesn't help with your problems because of the prison like structure they have. I have been there for 8 days on a 72 hour hold and met a lot of interesting people while I was there. Mostly there was drug addicts not getting the …
My partner says their mom might soon make them go and they are terrified. They told me it's like a prison and from these other I believe it to be so. I can't believe this place hasn't been shut down. I've been to a mental …
Two of my kids have had to go there. This is a terrible facility. Avoid it unless it's the only option. One son has severe medical issues and has to wear a bag at night. They wouldn't give him his bag which put him at risk for bladder …
My son cried the first day saying all they gave him was a stress ball and a notepad. Complained the food was not fit to eat and was always brought out cold. No access to groups or any daily therapy. It sounded more like jail than a mental …
Was made to go there when I was 14 I'm now 28. It was not a healthy place. I was there for a 72hour hold and by the end of it they wanted me to stay long term. They had no reason to keep me long term. So after the 72 hours my mom signed me …
Never got the STD or cancer testing I requested. Told several staff members over the course of six days that I was lactose intolerant and was served milk with every meal anyways. Doctor decided to take me off my hormone pills that I needed …
WMHI needs to be bulldozed over. The treatment of these patients is absolutely absurd. Where are The advocates and the attorneys to shut this place down. Stray animals in shelters get better care and rehabilitation than these patients. To …
Oh my God. My husband was emergency detained for a psychotic episode. He is fine now but they want to keep him another 2 weeks. I visited him today and it is the same as visiting someone in jail. No hugs allowed. Staff rude and controlling …
YOU LITERALLY HAVE SUCH A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD WITH SUCH HEALTHY AND GOOD POLITICAL BELIEFS AND OR SYSTEM. THAT PEOPLE KEEP SUGGESTING THAT I JOIN A GANG!!!!!!!
Ok I went here at 17 years old and now am 33 but I will never forget my stay. This place is stupid SCARY!!! It's truly haunted. The "tunnels" underground are so very scary. I felt like I was a prisoner. The windows have bars over them …
Okay... It was pretty bad. I'm 16 and I got sent there on a Friday I think? Well it wasn't that bad at first. I've heard bad things about the place but I didn't think it was THAT bad. To all teens and adults going through tough times: …
Place is like a prison. Medical and nursing care was horrible. Avoid at all costs! Only good thing was the Social worker who had great communication skills
PLEASE move Morgan Geyser out of this place! It's worst than prison. She needs proper help and see bright future and shouldn't stay in this place! I feel so sorry for her that she is in there.... HOPE she will leave this place SOON!! :(
the metal cot about three inches off the floor
if the blankets and sheets weren’t made right they screamed.
the heavy metal door was that of a cell door. …
The place is a nightmare for anyone some staff is OK but most wasn't good even the doctors weren't good The doctors that work there should know better how this place is if it up to me I will take their license away for dangerous to …
The rooms are bad the food is terrible and there isn’t a lot to do there. They just stick you in a section with other kids all day and it’s boring. Not only that but some of the staff are abusive and mean. There were only a few nice staff …
I went there Thursday December 18 2015 it was 3 hours and 30 minutes to get there. I arrived at 2:51 in the morning and 2 days after I was there a girl was using the payphone cord to strangle herself. The staff there don't let you do …
An inhumane archaic and downright barbaric way to "take care" of anyone. Let's call it what it is psychological torture.
If you have the choice pick a different hospital. I was sent here because nothing else would take me. It’s very unclean the food is trash and over all very traumatizing. Not helpful. It makes you worse.
Deserves less then a one for the teen psych units the teens talked about the abuse that goes on their and the staff was very terrible and no answers from no one and very truamatic experiences over their and I was threaten to sedate me for …
If you’ve ever had interaction with Melissa- one of the nurses. She is one of the most awful providers I believe I’ve ever worked with. I will never send my child here again. She is worse than when she started. Never- send your children here. It’s just awful.
Going here was one of the worst experiences of my life. Regardless of the circumstances people need quality assistance. There is absolutely no help for suicidal patients or anyone for that matter. The workers here are more concerned about …
My daughter was released from there today. The prison like setting is very off putting! They are not very informative. Even while there if you ask questions they will tell you to call. Social worker was very nice there although I was the …
hello i'm 15 years old when i went here i had just turned 15 maybe 3 months prior. i will say this place has caused me so much trama and pain that i thought i wouldn't have to expierence. when i first entered the building and got on …
my experience there was fine but the staff were very rude and unprofessional and one of the staff had gotten this girl in trouble from starting an argument with her
I am not in the same state as this hospital and have never been there. However I had to give at least one star in order to respond to all who have had horrible experiences there. As a woman who holds two degrees in social work and graduated …
I felt like i was in prision. Compared to other mental hospitals I've been at this one was by far the worst!! Some of the staff where good but some sucked! If I ever go back a 3rd time I might be driven over the edge. NEVER let your family go here! There are much better hospitals like Meriter or even UW Health!
i got out earlier this week. food was dookie staff was dookie nothing was clean and the doctor didn’t do any background research and overdosed me on a pill that i am allergic to. still dealing with the reaction this is not a good place. …
I stayed here for about 3 days against my will. I was driven up to the area by the police in handcuffs it was a 2 hour ride. …
I was admitted into Winnebago on the morning of January 18th. While I was in there I was raped beaten and mentally tormented by the staff. I was not intoxicated or on drugs. I was detained from my own home while I was sleep walking. I have …
I was an AODA patient when I was 17 I was there for three months- Do whatever you can to stay away from this place or avoid going to this nightmare. Severly understaffed. It looks just like jail. You basically do and say whatever it takes …
I was discharged a few weeks ago and I can’t sleep at night anymore this place is a nightmare. This is a place for criminally insane people. The rules are ridiculous the shower situation is disgusting the building is creepy and the food …
I was in inpatient care. Worst place ever even for an an institution. Several kids were dragged away to seclusion for hours and NONE of the staff did anything about it. They lock you in your rooms for half an hour 3-4 times a day. It was …
i was in the covid unit so things were different over there. the rooms literally looked like a prison i was locked in my room for hours i tried harming myself while i was in there to be fair it was under a blanket but they probably …
I was taken here against my will this place is more like a prison than a facility. The rooms were so bland they even covered up the windows with weird texture so you couldn't see anything which is weird. Only thing at night you could here …
I was taken here when I was 17. The police that took me there felt sorry for me. I think they knew how terrible the facility was and bought me a slushee for the 3 hour drive. When I got there I was taken to an office where I got a mugshot …
