Ascension Illinois - Mental Health Center Aurora

Drugged me up with Fluphenazine had me feeling loopy and it messed with my reproductive system I am now switched to Abilify, the food was good, environment not so good it's like from the 1980s bathroom restrictions, "Don't want to pee on yourself in front of people" I believe this was used as a conversion Therapy camp back in the 80s 90s till it became illegal, homosexuality is not mental health issue lets just focus on Schizophrenia and other mental health issues , your facilities must be updated they look spooky add more cozy chairs the place should look like a Hyatt not a prison camp for punishment for mental health

My daughter had 2 stays at other places. This place tops them all they helped us so much with all our needs. My daughter loved the staff and the Physiatrist Dr.Salmon. They helped her cope and have her tools to cope when she needs.

A family member has been here 3 times. The nurses, doctor and staff in the hospital were amazing during the initial intake and stay. They took great care of my family member, who participated in group and individual counseling and was able to communicate regularly with us. We really liked the psychiatrist on staff who provided care during the stay. The caseworker also really advocated for my loved one and was amazing at facilitating a spot in a good inpatient program that was well suited for her specific needs. We would definitely recommend seeking care here!

I don't think anyone enjoys being in inpatient for mental health, but when I was there just in November 2022 the staff did all they could to ensure everyone's comfort. I would recommend this place to others.

The staff is horrible to the patients please do not send your kids here, I was screamed at and felt threatened by the staff. Tara a counselor said she would fight the kids and she doesnt care about our tears. I was having an anxiety attack and Heather, a manger i think, yelled at me and said i was overreacting and causing problems and making everyone else act out. They dont try and talk the kids through their problems they would rather shoot us up with drugs so calm us down. The place was horrible and made me feel lifeless and everyone there was treated horribly there were a few good staff members but for the most part they should not be working with mentally ill people.
