I was here in the beginning of 2021. I have no idea why are reviews bad .. it wasn't that bad . The staff had a attitude as in a strong voice but mean? I've never seen a mean staff there , they rather joke around . Maybe because we weren't as a big issues ? They took us outside as a reward .. and yes I'm on a alternative account I'm not comfortable using my real name of this . When I got there , they offered me chips and drinks . It was someones birthday. This girl who had the nicest voice hugged me saying " it's okay , you'... read more

My adult daughter was transferred to Ridgewood from a local hospital after experiencing a psychotic episode earlier this month. She remained there for 8 days. The staff and medical team was very attentive to her needs. They kept her safe and provided her with adequate care and appropriate treatment to stabilize her. Her case manager, Eva, was an absolute angel. She is a professional who is dedicated to her craft. She was nurturing and compassionate. She was always there for me and my daughter and was very comforting. My on... read more

This place is amazing. I had an OCD panic attack and was sent here, and they got me back to basics: coloring, playing volleyball, taking naps, thinking about why my life has value. The psychiatrists are so insightful and supportive. The food is good. I like how they don't waste any food: the peas and carrots we had the first night appeared in various other meals later on. It was moving to see people who were so broken but were trying to hard to get back on track. I will never forget this experience. Go Riverwooods!!!

The first day my son was transported nurse called he's so agitated and asked me what meds was he on I told her well of course he is agitated coming in on a 10/13 has Autism and needs stabilization and meds regulated and she needs to go read his file. I had to send the police twice to the facility because my son was assaulted by a patient that was getting treatment in the facility. Chemically restraining (shot) and not informing), why would an individual be placed in group right a way and not stabilized and meds regulated. Th... read more

Worst week of my life was spent here 2 years ago... and it wasn't cause it was a behavioral health program, it was 100% cause of the staff. Speaking on the adolescent unit as a 17 year old at the time... I was never able to talk to my family because they did not monitor how long kids were on the phone and who they were talking to. We had one hour of phone time I believe for everyone there, and quite a few people spent the entire time speaking to their boyfriends. My mom actually called one day concerned I was avoiding her.... read more

Patient care is totally not comprehensible!!! This facility is just taking individuals in and not truly accessing their mental help. Giving drugs to them without complete accessing the individuals for a check. Unbelievable!!! This place should be under investigation!!! With the amount of negative views there seems to be no accountability. 85 beds in this facility and families are closed off to visit or contact. Isolation isn't good to individuals who are not in harm's way of loving family members.

Riverwoods Behavioral Health is an absolute disgrace when it comes to patient mental health care, and quite frankly, they shouldn't even be allowed to operate. My recent discharge from that wretched place after enduring 4 days and 3 nights of sheer misery has left me utterly disgusted. It's abundantly clear management is more interested in wringing every last penny out of its victims than actually providing any semblance of genuine care. The staff was overwhelmed with the number of patients and had limited resources. From ... read more

Never spent a day in this place but had to visit the facility & the only way I could describe it is "PURE TRASH"! The staff seems play communication games with the patients and the family members by saying things then deflecting from what was initially communicated. No one on the same is on the same page, so a lot of the conversation is ill advised & misleading. This place exudes a den of racket to bleed the patients and family members of money with no real help or assistance.
