My adult son was sent here after an emotional breakdown and literally got zero counseling -- not in a group or individually. He said they just ignored him the whole time. He was Baker Acted but after 72 hours, the nurses said he would have to stay weeks even though they had not evaluated him at all. I asked why and two of them told me "that is how they do it here-- they always keep them past the 72 hours". My son said other people who had private insurance like us were told they had to stay. According to the Baker Act, t... read more

My family's experience with this place has been horrifying my brother went in there trying you get help and has been met with total ignorance and negligence he went in there, voluntarily and is now had documents, falsified, and is on a baker act. This place is not out here to help people is not here to destroy them. Please reconsider, sending all family members your love ones to this facility. they are not in your best interest. My little brother has been having more harm than good to him done me and my family are doing eve... read more

This hospital relies on the broad scope of the Baker act to stay open. The Baker act designed to enforce treatment of the mentally ill is often inappropriately applied to people who are in temporary mental distress and may call a " helpline" to discuss feelings of hopelessness or depression. The Baker act, designed to institute involuntary admission to a behavioral health unit, is then triggered, scooping up unsuspecting People who are then involuntarily admitted. After that their subsequent discharge can be clocked at... read more

This place did not help me at all. I am a highly functioning professional, suffering from depression, who was admitted under the Baker Act. I got no help. Even the meds they prescribed were wrong. No individual help except for 10 min with a psychiatrist, then 20 minutes with a social worker who provided no followup. This place should closed down.

I had the great misfortune of staying in the psych wars due to a baker act. The Doctor was nasty along with his big goon. They took me baker act and thought I was going to be released. They insisted I stay one more night. The after that they still wanted to keep me. two more days and I said no. The doctor threatened to re-baker act and take me mental court. (there is such a thing) I told them I would report them for medicare fraud. I was dicharged within an hour.

This place is awful! They need to close down. If you didn't have PTSD when you came in you will sure have it when you come out! The workers are so mean to the patients who are already stressed and not in a good condition. They cuss at them and make them feel horrible. I have a daughter who is a police officer, and she says the people in jail get treated way better than this place . And then they hold you in there for way longer than what they are supposed to do. Scary crap happens here.

Please read this info if you're thinking about sending a loved one for help to an emergency room for a mental health issue so you're prepared if they are Baker Acted. The rules are as follows as per Florida law facility has a 72-hour window to observe your loved one, stabilize them, and either release them, convince them to stay voluntarily, or petition the court to keep them there beyond the observation period. In many Baker Act cases, individuals are stabilized before the 72 hours are up. Legally, the facility is requi... read more
