Gateways Hospital and Mental Health Center

I was here about 2 months ago, it was great. I learned many coping skills met some great people and the staff was great. The food wasn’t too bad. 2 months out and I’ve been doing pretty good:)

My fave mh, great staff, my homegirls were the funniest ho3s I met. like frfr its so chill here, we had sm fun. They always had snacks, we would do karaoke, yoga in the hall even nun of us took it srsly lmao. Actually made me feel better about life.

Got me sorted out and on my feet after traumatic arrival in L A in 1975. I will never forget them, the intensive inpatient therapy and transition to society through cottages they owned on their hilltop Echo Park campus.

I became a successful publisher, retired early, and live a peaceful beach life. I am quite certain if it were not for this hospital I would be dead.

I was sent here when I was 14 twice. It was the best two hospital experiences. The activities are great, the staff is great, the food is decent, the hospital itself is clean and comfortable. Only one nurse was always rude but the other nurses helped a lot. The activity center has the best people, they helped me break out of my shell within one day of being in there. They reward you of good behavior. I got Chinese food once. It was overall really great.

It's almost a year since I received a call that my son has been admitted to this hospital. The thought of my son in a mental hospital was overwhelming. I wish Dr Kim was less clinical in her approach, add a little warmth and compassion towards a mother who flew for 21 hours from South Africa to receive the news that her son has a mental illness. Give feedback with an understanding that everything was new to me and as a caring mother I needed to know reasons for keeping him longer in hospital. Otherwise, I believe she is a brilliant psychiatrist who didn't rush into making a diagnosis without a full assessment/evaluation.
Antonio, the social worker was good with giving whatever feedback he had.
My son was happy with the nursing staff and the food provided. With the South African Rand/Dollar exchange rate it would have cost my family a fortune to pay for the facility; I was grateful for the service.
Keep up the good work of caring for those who can't care for themselves.
Khumo is stable - seeing a good psychiatrist and clinical psychologist in Johannesburg, South Africa.
