This place doesn't provide personalized care. I know it is our fault when my husband had a no show appointment. But they changed his status from established patient to something else. So, now when I really need an appointment for him, he will have a 2.5 month wait time. If there is nothing wrong, I won't request for an appointment. Waiting for that long is impossible. They said I can contact primary care to change his prescription, or go to the emergency room. Got me very frustrated.
I had to lie my way to get out. Social workers believe they know what's in your best interest when they don't have the ability to diagnose you.Some of the staff truly care, but for the bulk of them, they're doing the bare minimum to get through their hours .They can't open a DSM-IV-TR to properly acknowledge what could possibly be your disposition.
My daughter was a patient and under the care of Sandra Whitehouse. She called my daughter a liar and was extremely biased against me. Because of this, my child experienced and was subjected to more abuse by her perpetrator and the staff. This is nit a risk that's worth taking for a child.
Honestly this place felt more a hole you can throw people in to get them away from society. They made me wear scrubs,and had me sleep in room with constant interruptions from strangers and the staff. There's nothing there to keep you busy , its just you and your thoughts.
My son was just released from this facility. He has been on several psychiatric wards in both the Utah Valley and Salt Lake Valley. UNI by far was the best fit for him. The professional knowledge of the staff combined with the concern they have for their clients actually has saved my son's life. There is not enough good things that I could about about this facility or the staff.
Talk to your doctor, find a APRN/Psychiatrist, surround yourself with people who matter to you, ask someone to look after you for awhile (even if you feel ashamed), either way you deserve help even if you don't feel like you deserve it. Good luck and best wishes.
Maybe you'll have better luck than I did, maybe you'll have insurance or the incentive that'll provide you better care. This place made things worse for me and I hope my experience here could spare someone the troubles or shed some light.
I was an outpatient. Amazing staff, amazing physicians. Great care given.
