However, on Google Reviews, the facility received an average rating of 2.6 out of five stars based on 15 total reviews.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Most negative reviews <strong>cited the facility’s customer service as a weakness.</strong> L.J., an alum, gave one star and wrote “I called the operator this morning...she hung up on me in the middle of my question. Unprofessional is as accurate as it gets.”</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>On Google reviews, loved one M.H., who gave one star, was not happy with the staff. "They were extremely rude and not helpful by any means. Under their care they were extremely rough with an old patient letting her fall and be injured then never taking her to the hospital,” the loved one wrote. </p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>At the time of this writing, the sole respondent to the Rehabs.com survey was a staff member who also gave the facility a mixed review. Although the anonymous staff member gave the facility four stars for the experience and training of staff and its ability to treat co-occurring disorders, they gave two stars for family participation, counseling options, and discharge planning. “Poor lackadaisical treatment programs rely too heavily on medications," the staff member wrote. </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to an official brochure, Seaside accepts most insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, Humana, United, and Value Options.

Due to these shortages, area hospitals are struggling to treat psychiatric patients through hospital ERs.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/VyDL22" target="_blank">Google Reviews</a></small></p>
