My brother has been at Georgia Regional Hospital since Saturday for help with his mental illness, which we later found out was connected to a drug addiction. He hasn’t been there long, and he was originally supposed to be released on Monday. However, today (Sunday), the Social worker called my parents asking them to come pick him up early because he was upset that he couldn’t leave. This experience has been extremely disappointing. It feels like the staff at this facility treat patients as if they’re just there to be “watched,” not helped. Instead of providing real care or treatment, it seems like they just want to release people who are struggling — whether with addiction or mental illness — back into the community to avoid dealing with the issue. The social worker who contacted my family was unhelpful and dismissive. It’s concerning that someone in that position could show so little compassion or professionalism when families are trusting them with their loved ones’ care. If I could give this facility zero stars, I would. People come here for real help, not to be brushed off or sent home without proper treatment. Georgia Regional Hospital seriously needs to evaluate its staff, training, and overall approach to patient care.
