my personal experience of the arbour hospital was horrible. the counselors there treat their patients/clients as if they were prisoners. during one group meeting one counselor said, remember this experience. try not to come back. but if you do, we'll be here waiting. and next time you won't get out so fast. does that sound like something a patient who is trying to get treatment for their mental illness should be told? arbour hospital is closer to a prison than a hospital. doctors and social workers are competent and professional. but all day long, patients are stripped of their dignity, one of the last things they may be holding on to during their times of crisis. i'm telling my health insurance to never approve of sending me to that hospital again. i would rather be stuck in the ER and wait indefinitely for a bed to open up at another hospital.
Pros: trees surrounding the hospital
Cons: lack of genuine concern for patients
