Brunswick Hospital Center Brunswick Hall

This hospital should be shut down. A majority of the staff are Unprofessional especially most of the male staff. Some of the professional male staff are kind & are understanding. The unprofessional ones are rude & lack communication. This hospital also needs better workers & healthier food options for people who have diabetes or for people who have special diets. They keep you here for a very long time even if you are a patient making progress: like attending the groups they have & having a positive attitude. The unprofessional staff don't seem to know their job very well & have worked their for years.

I wish there was a higher button to press than a 5 star to this hospital. I feel like people only Comment when they have a bad experience which I find it to be so ungrateful. People forget to give a feedback on good experiences. Everyone is so rushed to move on And never say thank you I can’t brag enough about this place and the staff. The nurses of the unit I was in are my biggest heroes. I don’t think these women get enough credit for what they do in daily basis. They have the hardest jobs of All. Ive experienced a PTSD episode a week ago and The next thing I know, I’m in the emergency room somewhere in Queens. Then I was transferred to Brunswick Hospital a few days later. I’ve never left a hospital just feeling so much better than I was before. This hospital made me feel that for the first time in my life. I suffer from mental illness. I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD, bipolar depression, ADHD and the list goes on and on… but at the end of the day I feel like it’s all about the compassion and empathy that comes out of all us humans 🙏🏻🫶 Kudos to you, Brunswick Hospital for doing such a great job and making us feel safe and heard.

I believe the social workers did a good job and made me feel welcomed. Their sessions weekly reminded me I was not alone. I also appreciated the nurses on the unit.

If hell has a name, it's "Brunswick"

abismal. Patients took more care of each other than any doctor or staff member, we would cut up food for each other or offer support if someone was crying, while the staff just ignored the people in crisis. I understand this is a difficult job and they are understaffed, but its not an excuse for the amount of dehumiazation that happens here. Their were sickness, foot fungus and lice going around which just speaks to the cleanliness of the place, and the treatment for these conditions were minimum. A cream for itching and a tylonal. It has taken me time to actually process my stay here and I still experice nightmares of my time. This is a completely unsafe, unsanitary, and unsafe enviorment for EVERYONE, nonetheless those in crisis. Please avoid at all costs, we had group super inconsistently, a friend was denied requested counciling, you had to hunt down your medical doctor and the dietitian, and even then they give you a mere three seconds and put words in your mouth. If you are in crisis, you are loved, and please go somewhere else <3

Terrible. There are a few good staff sprinkled in. The staff are not able to keep patients safe from the dangerous patients. When a fight breaks out they hide in the office. Nursing (Pat on overnights is the worst) will not be bothered to get you your meds. Social work is a joke. My medications were sent to 3 different pharmacies that were counties and HOURS apart. Social worker Christine fumbled every part of my discharge. Her initial greeting was, "What do you want?" spoken with an attitude. Groups are cut short to clean the room for visits. Bathroom and rooms are dirty. Overall this is not a therapeutic millue. Go somewhere else for help.

amazing place if you want to develop psychosis whilst staying here. for around a week and a half after being discharged, i was so fearful that i would be forced back into this facility. i thought i was still in the hospital when i was safe at home. i came here to simply get help for my depression and left with no help and being worse off than before. around 3-4 days into my stay here i developed psychosis and began hearing and seeing things (this was completely out of the ordinary for me), pacing around the halls or sitting in the halls at night time, and having insane delusions that no one (such as family and friends) could convince me weren’t true. i remember one night i paced and sat in the halls from 1 am to 6 am, zero intervention. no one told me to go to sleep or anything. they thought i was just being difficult on purpose, but in reality my mind was deteriorating completely with no help. i think that if you are a mental health professional you should easily be able to recognize when someone is in psychosis, but oh well! also feeding into the delusions because you think it’s funny AND being a…medical doctor, is hilarious to me. i used the phone at least 40 times a day towards the end of the stay because i was freaking out so badly that i didn’t know what to do, and i guess that wasn’t any cause for concern? again, i was being “difficult”. staff went through the journal they gave me while i was there and humiliated me with it. they passed it amongst themselves and patients knew about all of it too. i’m pretty sure that has to violate something? there is no viable treatment aside from medication management, there is no therapy here. i was just so deluded and scared and the medicine i was given made me out of my mind, i had no idea what i was even being prescribed then. i am now receiving help but going here was a last resort for me as i was so desperate to receive help only to be completely disappointed. i do think that a lot of staff here are good intentioned, but the majority of them couldn’t care less. i have nothing positive to say about my experience here and i would strongly recommend to not go here under any circumstance, no matter how desperate you are to receive help please just go anywhere else.

Needs to be investigated for poor conditions, dangerous situations. High stress environment. Lazy negligence and disgusting conditions. Inappropriate music and conduct. Lack of therapy and sunlight. Employees are comfortable with ignoring possible life threatening medical conditions like chest pains and possibly Covid circulating untested and untreated. I saw my psych doctor for 5 minutes at a time only twice in 2 weeks. Medical staff is worse.
