A relative had a bad experience with Riverside in Punta Gorda and when they needed help again a doctor recommended Bayside in Sarasota instead. NOT MUCH BETTER!!
For one thing, she (relative) expressed the families concern with the intake nurse, so the nurse invited me back to have a private talk and bring up any concerns we had before she signed papers to be admitted. The nurse seemed to not really listen to my concerns, in 5 minutes she must have said "Well, let me get her to sign these papers" six times.
Then after that, I asked if I could have a talk with my relative for a few minutes. The nurse stayed in the lobby, would not let us talk privately. And this was BEFORE being admitted. Acted like they were in a big hurry before I had a chance to change her mind.
But, I guess once they verified that her insurance would cover the visit, they were gonna make sure she chose them over Doctors Hospital. (My choice after a long talk with the coordinator.
Felt like she was being put in jail. This was a voluntary visit while getting some medications adjusted.
