Oceans Behavioral Hospital — Hammond

“So far, I am grateful for the staff members - my child says he has been treated so well. He is able to socialize with other children. I do wish they had more activities to keep the children busy and out of their thoughts but other than that - this place is a blessing. The doctors are inclusive, caring, and communicative. They put in the work to get to the root of the issue if any. I am impressed and again so very grateful for this hospital ❤️ My family has never experienced anything like this before so thank you guys so much for taking such good care of my son. 🙏🏼”

“Unfortunately I can't say anything good about this hospital. They falsely billed the VA in my name. Even though I gave them my insurance card. Now the VA is threatening to garish my VA benefits. I have tried to clear this up since October of last year . This hospital has caused me more anxiety and depression than accident and assault that sent me there. Now Im faced with a 12000 bill, a federal debt and severe anxiety.”

“this place is a living hell. the doctors and nurses and techs are rude, the foods disgusting, and there’s nothing to do all day. i was attacked by another patient while i was there and they didn’t do anything about it. i tried to call 911 and they sent the cops away and told me if i called 911 again they’d take my phone privileges away. i’d rather die than go back here. worst place ever to get help.”

“If I could leave lower than one star I would. This place and staff is a nightmare! Neglect- YES! My daughter was sent to this facility and it is horrible. The staff constantly scream at the patients. My daughter asked for a hairbrush and was told they were out of them. Also, wore the same under garments for 4 days because they didn't have those either. Once the 72 hour hold was lifted, the dr decided to keep her- I wanted to speak to someone regarding our rights. Well they kept transferring my calls to a answering machine that belonged to nobody. Then told me that everyone had went home for the day. I still haven't been told the visitation policy and it's been a week. The website is a joke, they do not treat anything that is listed on that page.”
