Oceans Behavioral Hospital of Baton Rouge

"If you could not give any stars I would. My father who had dual dementia , he was abused by male nurse when he could not sleep(which was why he was there) he grabbed a 85 yr old male who weighed 130 lbs. by the arm, disconnecting his arm at the shoulder and breaking his elbow. As a result my father died."

"This place is a detriment to anyone who goes there. I was there. You can put anyone in a psych ward. A psychiatrist, who didn't know me, just had to Say I tried to harm themselves. NONE of those photos are real. The place is gross, foods bad. NO ONE there advocates for anyone. They act like bad cops. That place WILL DO HARM to your loved one if they go there."

"Do NOT send your loved one here! My Mom was sent here from St. Elizabeth after being diagnosed with late stage dementia. My first time getting to see her I did not recognize her. She was so emaciated and had open wounds on her arms and legs. They claimed they did not deal with wound care. They kept her drugged up and would not give me any information on her treatment. They never gave her any clothes I brought her and took her prescription strength glasses from her her first day there and lost them. They kept her longer than necessary to make money off of her too. This place is horrible!!"

"It was the best decision I made for myself. The staff is professional and friendly, and always there. I would like to say going in always remember patience is a virtue in the beginning, but the outcome that you get leaving is amazing. I have learned so much about myself and others. I will always be the best person I can be. thanks for all the nurses all the MHT for their amazing support they gave me through my journey."

"The reviews are spot on. This is the most unprofessional, unintelligent group of health care workers I’ve seen!!! Don’t dare to call them up and ask for something simple as an update on your loved one, they act if doing there job is to much to ask of. From the administrator down to every nurse on the floor. Every one has terrible attitude, I even had one hang the phone up on me today mid sentence!!! SO DISGUSTED. Trying to get these people to pick up the phone, or let alone get usual information from is like pulling teeth. My father is being held in there when he needs emergency surgery to save his life. Yet they think it’s suitable to extend his 72 hr hold because their associates think it’s necessary to do so completely disregarding his serious health issues at hand. From what it seems they have this pattern of holding patients long than need be, for potential financial gains? If so someone needs to take a serious look into this place. Not to mention my father just had heart surgery just days prior to their supervision, and they still need to go back for second life saving surgery. What this all boils down to is THIS PLACE WOULD BE THE LAST PLACE I EVER SENT MY LOVED ONE. Unfortunately the hospital he was at chosen this god forsaken establishment. As it was out of my control, please be aware of these nasty individuals. I hope this review and others like it show the true side of this place."
