I have been here three times in the past six years. It has always been positive experience. The facilities are clean, the staff are quite helpful, and the food is great! Every time I've been there I've felt safe and cared for. Most of the other patients are fun to talk to and interact with. I hope I won't have to go back again, not because I don't like it, but I would rather be home with my family. It is a good hospital to go to for the help you need. Dr. Saifollahi was my doctor each time. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this hospital.

Yelp Reviewer

Great recovery if you are willing to put in the effort to help yourself get better, you can not just expect the nurses and therapists to be babying you through your recovery period it is a balance that you need to make sure you are willing to have them assist you in your recovering period. You meet so many different people with your same problems that are not judgmental of course there will be people you do not get along with but it is true with every place. If you are needing somewhere to recover I highly recommend Forest view to begin your recovery. Also impatient facilities are great and extremely clean, beds are not fun though.

Went to the partial hospitalization program here and it was wonderful. At any hospital you can find faults but I embraced the experience and received so much support and many tools to help me. Kudos to the staff at Forest View. Easily the best psych hospital in Michigan.

Grace Silvernail

I was just discharged from the adolescent unit 2 days ago, and the hospital was always clean and the staff was great alicias totally terrifying but they all care the food was good the gym smells like sweaty socks but its all good. I was there for 25 days and never had a problem.

Alysha Blevins

Dedicated staff, my psychiatrist was great, very positive helpful and experience.

Alyssa Houghtaling

I was in the teen unit and it was horrible. All we did was sit around and play card games all day. There were a few staff members that were okay, but the rest sucked. If you didn’t participate in groups (playing card games) they would accuse you of isolating yourself and force you to participate. I had three different roommates through the entire time I was there. The first two were okay, but I was honestly scared that the third one was going to seriously hurt me. I told the staff members and they said that they would try to move me around the next day. I told them that I couldn’t wait until tomorrow because first of all my roommate identified as a he and second I didn’t want to die. If you don’t eat 100% of all your meals they’ll put you on treys where you have to stay back and have the staff watch you eat, or they’ll accuse you of having an eating disorder and they’ll make you eat in the ED group. The place was disgusting and when I went into the bathroom there was paper towel all over the floor, there was piss on the seat, and it smelled like rotten eggs. They don’t let you go to your rooms during the day unless it’s room time and they stick us in our rooms when they’re low on staff. They’ll search your room even though there’s no possible way that we could get anything past them and if you ask to do something they’ll say no just because they have the power to. Some of the patients were sharing personal information with other patients which the staff specifically said not to do. The door alarms would go off every two seconds and they would mostly go off in the middle of the night. When there was a code yellow in our unit, the staff let some patients out of the rooms we were supposed to be in.The doctors put me on a new medication the day I was supposed to discharge so I had to stay longer. The staff will put you on three medications that all do the same thing. They raise the dosage way too fast. If you say that you don’t feel like the medication is working, they’ll put you on a different one but still keep you on the old one. You only got to go to the gym a few times and there’s no possible way to get your energy out anywhere else. They put you on as many things as possible so that they can make more money. They’ll also keep you much longer than needed just to make money. The staff have their favorite patients that get treated much better. When I was about to go to the gym for yoga, they said I couldn’t go because i was talking during groups, which I wasn’t doing. There was a whole group of people that were talking but still got to go because the staff liked them the most. The staff will judge you for the reason you’re there. The staff will ask you personal questions in front of other patients. They do the same things over and over and they won’t let you discharge unless you say you’ve learned something. If you don’t have hygiene products, they’ll only give them to you if your one of the favorited patients. The showers are freezing cold. The food tastes like butt. They set rules and break them on a daily basis. When I first got there they took my stuffed animal. The staff looked everywhere for it every single day and couldn’t find it. On the day I discharged they found my stuffed animal off the unit I was in and they said that if they would have found it sooner I could have kept it in my room. They never practice safety and they say that if there’s a fire, we have to stay inside until it’s the last second. If your having a panic attack they won’t let you call your family until call time. You can only talk to someone else at call time for 10 minutes. The visiting hours are every few days and most of the time they’re during the day so it’s hard for people to get out of work. Overall I would never recommend going to this place. It’s disgusting and unfair. I only went there because the hospital forced me to go. Honestly, juvenile detention was better than there. I was preying that they would send my back to Juvie instead of forest view.

Joseph Workman

Hard to admit I was a patient here but I am so very glad I went to this facility. The staff can be great but there are a few that need to step out of there comfort zone and work in a different capacity.

Kenzi V.

It was mostly good but my psychiatrist was not reasonable or really see things from another perspective. He was very old fashion in his views and judgemental.

Landon Hughes

I have no idea why there are 1 star reviews; I was here 3 times, one time in 2017, and twice in 2018. All my stays have been fine. My doctor the first time was Dr. Singlah and the 2nd and 3rd time were Dr. Singlah again and Dr. Bronson. Both are very nice doctors and well educated. Remember, this is a mental health facility not a hotel. Please take my word for it. I promise you that you will not have a negative experience. This is honestly the best mental hospital in Michigan, in my opinion. There’s a gym, a pretty big cafeteria, and the nurses and social workers there are phenomenal people. They are not mean at all. If you want mean and abusive, go to Havenwyck or Stonecrest.

Edward brooke lee

Amazing place and staff that just needs to slow down a lil

I have been calling to speak with my son who i personally dropped off due to the hospital saying go straight there. My son has not called me yet. I am all he pretty much has in his life. I called and spoke with someone and they said they couldnt confirm he was a patient.. I dropped him off so i know he is there. Without the code I cant even get updates!

It was scary at first because i never been to a mental hospital before. But it was really helpful in my opinion. Everyones experience is different their. Young kids with young, teene0agers with teenagers and adults with adults. Whenever you have a problem with someone in your area they will move them to a different place. You have to check off honest things that are going on with you when its class time. When its time to go to your room you habe to go but sometimes i didnt aand didnt really get in trouble maybe because i didnt really know the rules at the moment. If you have a problem in the cafeteria to eat food they will put you on treys until they know your ready to come back. You get to watch movies you have a bed time schedule. You have to be put on a medication. The guest bathroom was filthy meaning dirty due to many people using it but your bathroom in your room was pretty much really clean. All doors are meant to be locked so i fealt like i was in prison but trust me mental hospital is not like being in prison. You could go outside but being outside has a black fence around so you cant get out except for the door you walked through to go outside. Their is a personal room for you to talk to a trusted person about whats going on with you. Sometimes people will test you in a way that will make you feel uncomfortable. If you dont take your medicine they will have to pole you with a needle. The staff have to check on you like after every 5 minutes and staff is their 24 hours meaning their will be a am staff and a pm staff which are two complete different people so when you try to sleep it might be hard to because their is always a light in the hall way and even if you close the door they will open it to cjeck on you. If your having trouble sleeping they will give you a noise machine to help you sleep. If you want to listen to music is usually when its time to go outside and to play in the gym. You cant have anything that will harm you or others like strings on shoes or coats or necklaces or belts. And any electronics are restricted. Rooms are very echoey so simply moving a plastic chair at the table in yoyr room can desturb your neighbor next door. Girls are with girls and boys are with boys of course. Boys have a hallway section and girls have a hallway section. But during the day time you are aloud to hang out with the boys if you are a girl but just not aloud for girls to enter the boys room. The shower curtians in your bathroom are short so water can escape out of the shower on the the bathroom floor. You have to ask for towells and shampoo and conditioner. You can paint in the art room. You can play on a guitar but you cant take it to your room. In the rooms wher you do projects if you dont feel comfortable with scissors you can say no to cutting paper. Forest view in grand rapids michigan is a really safe place to beeveryone their that works their really focusses on keeping you and others safe. I would really recommend to go.
