This may be similar to other hospitals, but deserves to be known, in the hope that Legacy will be aware of its reputation.
There is a reason that Unity Center for Behavioral Health was threatened with being closed in 2018, a year or so after opening. See the article, which can be found by a google search: not all of the article is accurate, but it gives the basic idea.
Management ignored at least a dozen serious (some lethal means in patients' rooms) internal safety reports for many months. Publicly, upper management blamed direct care staff. They took no responsibility for sparse training and blatantly ignoring safety reports.
Since this time, upper management continues to ignore direct care staff ideas and concerns. Amazing staff have left, flooding out of the doors in the last few years. Instead of looking at systemic safety issues, individual staff are (again, as in 2018) blamed and at times disciplined. We have no recourse with HR.
There are also staff who stay with Unity who have displays of temper that are, in an objective sense, utterly illogical. Ex. A call for help with a call badge is met with "What do you want?!" -An acusation. Not an appropriate response to a request for help with an immanent safety issue that staff needed help with. Ex. middle manager raging at staff in front of a patient with a history of unprovoked violence. Why? Staff requested immediate help.
