Red River Hospital

The techs nurses doctors and lunch room staff are fabulous. But that is where the positives end. It was 8 days before I saw a counselor. When I did meet her I was told we would meet every day. That didnt happen. When I did meet her I always felt hurried and had to come up with an exit plan for myself.Initially I was told I would be put into assisted living and they would put me in a position where my prescriptions would be paid for. Instead I just got dumped at True Worth mission in Fort Worth. Where the conditions are horrible Not to mention there were 3 street fights in less than 15 minutes in broad daylight even with a police car parked out front.The hospital was so seriously understaffed that many times our groups were cancelled. And another patient was running many of them. The structure was almost nonexistent.While there I was moved 6 times and had 9 different roommates. Much more than any other patients on the floor. Plus I was there for PTSD and depression but was placed the 2nd day in the chemical dependency ward. Where I spent much of my time in AA related group sessions run by a patient with a Class A personality who demeaned several patients to the point of tears and misery. But he did get along with me and left me alone.As for the food it was good but they served a lot of bread to patients who were constipated by their prescriptions. And that in itself pretty much sums up this place.I came to Red River seeking help and hope. I was at the end of my rope with empty promises and people saying one thing and doing another. Instead I just got more of the same. And no hope at all.

I brought my daughter to Red River for treatment. She has anxiety and depression. Her therapist was Sabrina. That is one amazing woman. She gave myself and my child a glimmer of hope after her experience. Sabrina I cannot thank you enough for the role you played helping my daughter. You moved unmovable mountains. I believe we will see a light at the end of the tunnel now. Thank you so much for helping my daughter and our family.

Staff was very helpful. Our son went in crisis and his mental health improved tremendously. I would highly recommend. The only complaint is we never got the the chance to talk to the dr. He never returned our calls however my son had a good experience with the staff that helped him so this is why Im giving the five stars.

Whoever answers the phones needs to be fired and never allowed around children or humans for that matter. Never in a mental health facility should people be spoken over hung up on and disregarded when calling to get information on their MINOR CHILD. 4 days no updates not even a phone call to give me his patient ID till my kid calls me screaming they are giving him a shot to calm down the lack of communication with parents is insane but admin is atrocious.

the most unprofessional mental health service ive ever encountered i had a loved one here and i was denied being able to speak to them i had calls declined i heard the way they spoke to patients and it was disgusting trying so hard to get my loved one out of there if you value your sanity and recovery this is not the place to be.

I would absolutely recommend the outpatient program at Red River. I was hesitant at first but found myself surrounded by kind considerate patient and compassionate staff. I do want to sing the praises of Mrs. Erica Mendoza LCSW Therapist III. She has been blessed with a git of healing and presented me with exactly what I needed when I needed it to help heal myself. If it had not been for Erica and this intense program I would not have been able to begin to heal. She the staff and this program are a gift to the community and should be praised for all the excellent work they do.

Do NOT let your loved ones go here. They gave a patient family friend a shot drugged her up and left her unconscious for days in her room. They did not check on her and kept telling her family she was just sleeping and now she is in the ICU on a ventilator fighting for her life Thank goodness her children DEMANDED to see her and that she be transferred to the ER. Thats someones mom grandma and loved one that they just left to die without a care They have no concern for their patients at all and would rather sit around and talk bad about the patients they are supposed to be caring for and helping.

This place is terrible The staff are liars and thieves with no regard for their patients lives. Michele Midlesworth is very unprofessional and will mock and belittle not only the patients but their family. Utterly disgusting human being. If you value yours or your families lives do not go here.

I came here as a voluntary patient. Tbh my first night was extremely traumatic. I wont ever forget the whole experience in general. But my second day was better. All of the nurses and staff were so kind. They didnt treat me poorly or like I was crazy. They deal with an awful lot that no one sees and I wish people would give them more credit. I want to thank Maddy Anna Pierre Hillary and Doctor B for everything. I met some really amazing people here patients and staff alike. I was scared coming here. But it was worth it. God put me here for a reason I sought it out and found it. Im not going to lie and say Im healed because healing isnt linear and its also never ending. But the sunshine on the other side .. thats worth it. Its worth the tears and the pain and the heartache. I am so incredibly thankful for Red River. I would have been dead had I not come here. If I ever end up back where I was Ill gladly come back to Red River for help.

Working at this place as a tech is horrible so please reconsider. Most of the RNs LVNs will talk to you like you are beneath them. if you are too nice to patients they will talk about you behind your back. I was called inviting for being too nice to male patients and too friendly for being nice to the female patients. I treated all my patients how they were suppose to be treated and not like test rats. If you are attacked by a patient or harassed higher ups will tell you they will put you on a different unit until that person is discharged but dont get your hopes up. The best advice I can give you is either deal with it for the remaining of their stay or look for another job. They dont care. I left a great impact on most of my patients and that was the best part of the job that and quitting.
