My wife was admitted on a 1013. She is 78 years old with history of mental illness. She has been in Ridgeview in Smyrna GA for 3 days and nobody from Ridgeview has contacted us at all. We haven't hear from anyone on her tratment or progress. We can't get any information after several calls to the facility. My wife has multible heath problems. Her daughter talked to the nurse station after my wife called, because the staff didn't believe my wife when she told them she is having gall bladder pains. Before my wife was admitted... read more

i came last night but left because it was so busy. I was very impressed that I received a followup appointment with a promise to be seen as soon as we got there. I almost did not go because I felt they were going to be busy again. When I got there with my son it was busy again but the lady that called me came out in twenty minutes. I was so happy I went back because he was admitted. She was very nice and explained things and seemed very professional. I will say she was the same and only person I saw all night again. I was su... read more

My daughter is there now. I have been trying to be added as emergency contact to be involved in her care since she was admitted. I have a custody battle with court documents showing my rights. No one will listen. I have come with the police on several occasions. Thursday and Friday the Access supervisor identified herself as Marisa was very rude and disrespectful. She even threaten to hit me if I did not step back. When I arrived on Saturday I learned my exhusband gave her old arrest records and they were added to my child m... read more

I concur that if I could give negative stars I would. You get admitted and no one tells you ANYTHING. But staff also get extremely annoyed with you for asking too many questions. At best they are contrarian and condescending, at worst they actively antagonize patients until the patients act out and they are wrestled and sedated. The ICU unit was continuously running out of water for the patients multiple times a day for at least an hour each time. That unit in particular is downright criminal. The lead tech just yells at p... read more

I wish I could choose no stars. My 75 yr old father was near death when we were finally able to see him. The doctor did not contact us nor could we get through to a doctor for 2 weeks. After we showed our anger at his condition they released him to an ER that night and he was admitted. A hospital worker said it happens all the time. He had been heavily sedated the entire time and he had pneumonia. Send only enemies there!!

This place is strictly about money! I would not bring anyone that you care about to this facility. The staff don't help those in need, they judge those in need and speak down to their clients (they call them patients). The staff that are supposed to help these individuals, actually do not have any empathy or compassion for the clientele. People come to RI for a myriad of reasons seeking help and they do not receive it. They actually use co-ed housing to house their clientele.The place has absolutely NO STRUCTURE!!! Please st... read more
