The Adult Neuropsychiatry Unit[edit]

One of Sheppard Pratt's most difficult units was the Adult Neuropsychiatry Unit that was housed in the new building on hall 2F and held 12 patients at a time, in early 2012 this increased by 2 beds bringing the total bed amount to 14. It was started in 2008 and Dr. Robert Wisner-Carlson was the service chief. The unit was first ran by a group of staff pulled from other areas of the hospital who then had to learn the behaviors of patients with developmental disability's. Over the course of 3 years, the staff became known as the best team of staff in the hospital, with there ability to learn and come up with innovative ways to help the population. For a while things were good, however the unit struggled with financial obligations, due to the population who's insurance came from DDS, Medicare/ Medicaid. There were lots of patients who were admitted to the unit but their insurance would not cover them. Some patients became disposition problems and they stayed on the unit for months. This presented a problem for the unit and the hospital. The hospital suffered loss in revenue and the hospital could not afford to keep the unit open any longer, so in early February 2013 after the unit was open for 5 years, it was announced to the regular staff of the unit that the unit would be closed in March of 2013, this news was then publicly announced in April of 2013. Today, the Neuropsychiatry program is still running however there have been a few revisions due to the unit closing. It is really unfortunate that the unit had to be closed, and now some of the patients are not getting the quality of care they are expected to receive. With a Neuropsychiatry Track Program running only 4 patients are able to participate in the rehabilitation services that have been provided, however there are other patients who do qualify and would benefit from the program but are not able to participate due to legal restrictions. Sheppard Pratt Staff will continue to provide the best in services they can under the current circumstances. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.1.226.36 (talk) 19:22, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Sheppard Pratt at Ellicott City[edit]

part of a larger system, not separately notable DGG ( talk ) 05:12, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Pinel Clinic-Taylor Manor Hospital complex and property served a well documented unique role in Ellicott City's history From 1907 until 2000 and would have warranted a individual article on the historic aspects regardless of the purchase by Sheppard Pratt.

Reads like an advertisement and biased POV[edit]

Wikipedia is not here for advertisement purposes. This article needs to be written to reflect what the hospital has actually accomplished in the real of mental health rather than advertising itself. It also needs to reflect a neutral tone. Businesses submit themselves to magazines all the time. Where is there any evidence that Shepard Pratt is anything other than a business? To find that evidence, you would have to ask the patients if they feel this is a good hospital. 2604:2D80:A48F:300:5D1E:F92D:2900:C690 (talk) 19:01, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
