Ascension Saint Vincent Evansville Adult Mental Health Unit

Dr Litke and his entire staff were just the best. I’ve never seen a doctor at the hospital every single day. Dr Litke seems to really care about his patients.

I was brought after surviving cpr and being defibrillated and the care from ER to icu to 5th floor heart unit was exceptional!

Very short on employees. Probably worst stay at hospital. No bath for 5 days. Antibiotics not always started timely. Just a small example of problems during stay.

Nurses and techs were great overall. Maybe a little overworked or understaffed at times. Give them more money St Vincent. I was on my way to the cath lab when I met my doctor who immediately accosted me that I was lying about my breathing condition being “fine unless I’m sick”. Getting oxygen before the snowstorm was apparently an act of god. Thank goodness I wasn’t a person at home that needed it. That’s not Ascension’s fault, just part of the story. I was all but out the door Saturday, my orders for home O2 had been put in, pharmacy brought my home meds, nurses took out IV’s, took off EKG leads, EVERYTHING. Only to find out, there was no one coming with oxygen. Snowpocalypse hits and now we’re sitting ducks at a hotel room with no amenities besides oxygen and albuterol. Monday morning rolls around and I kept hearing, “Oh! You’re just waiting on oxygen!” And “Oh! You already have all your stuff ready to go, guess there’s nothing I need to do!” But they sure were scanning my bracelet to check my BP to make sure and get the other $ out of my insurance even though I was “pretty much discharged” according to so many there. I’m not blaming them for no home medical supplies, I’m blaming them for dropping the ball because you see, I called and got my own oxygen Monday (yesterday). My husband left Evansville, drove to Harrisburg and back to Evansville, so I could get out of the hospital. Had I not called, I would probably still be there today! Shirrley on the cardiac unit needs a raise for real. So does the housekeeper who cleaned that area the last few days, but I did not get her name. The reason for the 3 stars is not the nursing or respiratory staff. It’s just my overall experience of the place.

Welcome

My stay with you was excellent. Everyone was so kind and caring. If I didn't understand something they would explain it to me. I am thankful for the physical and emotional support I received.

I had knee surgery and it went very well. The day after surgery I was up went up a couple of stairs and then was released to go to rehab

I was in room 4201 and had excellent care, in particular, my nurse Mallory and tech Krystal. Their service was exemplary and their friendliness above and beyond.
