I ended up there for three days because of a misunderstanding. They released me when they realized I wasn't in any trouble. In the meantime, I was in a center with people who spontaneously broke into song (like they were performing), people who had serious anger problems and occasionally were drug out by staff to "somewhere" to cool off, and a few people who made sense (not many). I DID NOT FEEL SAFE THERE. It was worse than the movie, "Cuckoo's Nest." The food was not great (but hospital food rarely competes with homem... read more

STAY AWAY!!! Can't believe what we just experienced with my teenage daughter. So many things completely wrong about this place. The experience was completely different from what they represented it would be. Here are just a few examples: 1. I was told they would do a simple "TSA-style" pat-down search on my daughter when she was admitted. No big deal, right? Well you can imagine my shock and disbelief when I later learned that they did a full strip search on her and made her bend over and cough "so we can see if... read more

This facility is dangerous. They are understaffed, they violated my HIPPA rights and were found to be guilty of that as well after an investigation. My medical information and medical equipment was given to another patient who was released from the facility. This is DANGEROUS. The check-in process was abnormally fast for me, which is different from the reviews I've read. I guess if you show up on a Saturday, you'll be admitted, but you won't see a Doctor until Monday. I drove myself to this facility based on the info... read more

First of all, I tried to give 0 Stars but the system wouldn't allow it. As we drive away from this (enter your preferred expletive here) facility, I am compelled to immediately write a review. I will try to make it as concise and to-the point as possible, but the jist of it is, Lakeview put my mother in grave danger. She is a heart-transplant survivor and they knew that when they agreed to take her. Mind you, when I found out from Northeast Georgia Medical Center that they were transferring her there, I BEGGED them not to.... read more

I wish I could give this a 2 1/2. Unfortunately, I can't. I was an inpatient here back in early April for severe anxiety. I was in the adolescent unit. If your like me, you don't get yelled at. By definition of "me" is calm, quiet, funny, etc. I can understand why they may be strict with the ones who cannot control themselves, but I cannot comprehend with the fact that they make fun of us. It's unacceptable. Yes, the staff may yell a lot, their interpretation of how to get the point across, but that doesn't mean you have to ... read more

Horrible experience. They treat you like you are in jail. Many patients not getting their meds as ordered, and having RN behind metal window door shut it on their faces. Their website is extremely deceptive, no one gets to enjoy views of lake, decking...smokers do get taken out to concrete exit area. One phone for 18 patients, with very limited access. Visiting hours only 1 hour twice a week. Staff very insensitive in general. They do not follow their schedule, most groups facilitated by MHA's (orderlies) with no formal trai... read more

NO! They put them on medication let them sit and watch TV, play cards or whatever. They do not keep them busy to help them. Wasted time for the patient and their INSURANCE.

Run a mile - I wish there was a negative star option. My 73 mother was admitted for treatment and counseling. They kept her doped up on heavy duty drugs in her room. Her Psychiatrist was a joke refusing to meet with us and giving us the run around. We did not receive a call back in two days from social workers, Directors or the CEO. Nothing. We ended up standing in their lobby demanding to speak to somebody. Then they quickly discharged her. This is not a caring facility the owners are running it as a money making company no... read more

Run away from this place. Unless your loved one is absolutely insane and needs to be tied to a bed immediately, do not let them go here. It is not a mental heath facility - it is a prison. They will hold you against your will - yes I even called 911 and the police officers could not get my family member out - simply by having a nurse (qualified or not in this case) sign what is call a 1013. They signed it right in front of me and the police in an almost sadistic way. It was like they felt they were s powerful. While I was... read more
