Intermountain Hospital

This is the most rude place ever to call and they break every single protocol of any type of humane service. Although protecting the privacy of the patient, they do not ask if it is okay to be transferred or put on hold, wow! This is like one of the first rules in medical office administration. They are not suited to treat people with mental diseases properly. more

This place is the dirtiest!!!! Mold in the showers, air vents will give you the nastiest boogers you can imagine. You will have NOTHING to do all day. If you expect to ""GET WELL"" here, forget it...you will be worse off, then when you entered. Place needs to be SHUT DOWN!!!!! They force you to take drugs you refuse. They will throw you down and inject you! more

Since District Court Justice Michael McLaughlin sealed records about Intermountain Hospital's Residential Treatment Unit in March 2007, the hospital has been the subject of numerous official and substantiated complaint investigations. The Idaho State Department of Health and Welfare has investigated complaints including poor discharge mechanisms that may have contributed to a suicide, improper dietary procedures for patients and building safety violations, including fire hazards. Boise Weekly readers may recall efforts last year to access records on the RTU, a now-shuttered adolescent treatment ward. Records sought included information about a patient riot and a suicide attempt. Intermountain, a privately owned psychiatric facility in Boise, was granted a court injunction, and access to the records was denied. Since that time, attorneys involved in a lawsuit against Intermountain's parent company, Psych Solutions, and two out-of-state investigative reporting agencies, have tried to see the Health and Welfare documents as well, based on Idaho's public records law. more
