Universal Health Services, Inc. reviews

Speaking specifically of the Valle Vista facility(Psych&addiction services), its simply the most horrible place you could possibly work or be a patient. Horribly understaffed, management regularly skirts regulations and asks staff to falsify documents. Patient care is nearly non-existent since there is nearly always a 20:1 patient to nurse ratio. Management regularly forces psych patients to share rooms with those who are withdrawing from addictions just to cram one more person into the facility. Patients pay an estimated $1,000 per day to be drugged and housed, and thats about it. The woman running the facility has 0 schooling, training, or experience with psych&addiction and is in truth schooled only schooled in business administration prior to working here. This place is a for-profit facility and profit is upper management's ONLY concern, and it is managed accordingly. 72 hour psych holds are used at management's whim, and have even been placed on a patient because they were 'annoying'. Valle Vista actually posts advertisements for coming to their facility in local business's bathrooms if that tells you anything. If you get mentally sick or are battling an addiction, you'll want to avoid this facility at all costs.

- not many opportunities for growth in the financial area of the company; but the operational side (i.e. hospital operations) have many opportunities - due to the stable employment, positions do not usually come available unless someone relocates, moves away, retires, or dies (seriously... people stay around a LONG time)
