Red River Hospital

"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. That’s someone’s 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."

"Working at this place as a tech is horrible so please reconsider. Most of the RN’s & LVN’s 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 don’t 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 don’t care. I left a great impact on most of my patients and that was the best part of the job, that and quitting."

"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 didn't 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."
