As a proven leader in the field of behavioral health, Royal Oaks Hospital stands ready to serve all acute behavioral health care inpatient needs for children, adolescents and adults 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our experts continually strive to set the standards in patient safety and are committed to providing the highest quality of care to you and your loved ones. Royal Oaks Hospital believes in the health and wellbeing of our patients and it shows in the care they receive each and every day.
Royal Oaks Hospital is a newly renovated, state-of-the-art, 54-bed behavioral health care facility. Together, our multi-disciplinary team of Adult and Child/Adolescent Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Social Workers, Expressive Therapists and Education Specialists create a nurturing and inviting atmosphere which encourages both healing and growth. Patients and families can be assured through our academic training programs including an affiliation with the University of Missouri, that our providers are educated in the latest in medical, nursing and psychosocial behavioral health services. Royal Oaks Hospital’s objective upon admission is to properly assess each individual to ensure they receive the treatment they need in the least restrictive and most cost-effective environment.
Treatment is individualized and tailored to each person’s unique needs. Upon admission, most individuals complete a multi-structured assessment which includes a medical examination, laboratory work, psychiatric evaluation, psychological testing and a psycho-social history and evaluation. Our ultimate goal is to provide a solid foundation of support and clinical expertise in the safest environment possible before transitioning patients back into the community as they pursue the next phase of their recovery, healing and overall wellness in an outpatient setting of their choice.
Oakwood Hospital opened its doors in 1987 in Windsor, Missouri, with 41 beds.
Under new ownership and a complete restructuring of management and clinical ideology, it became Royal Oaks Hospital in October 1992.
On July 1, 2004, the hospital became a part of the Compass Health Network, allowing the organization to provide a continuum of care to the people and communities we serve.
Q: How long is a typical stay at Royal Oaks Hospital?
A: Each patient undergoes a multi-structured assessment phase shortly after admission. Using the resulting data, the treatment team formulates an individualized treatment plan that addresses the patient’s strengths, needs, abilities and preferences. The length of stay is based on the patient’s ability to meet the short-term goals set forth by the psychiatrist and other members of the treatment team.
Q: Why is the stay so short?
A: As an acute-care hospital, Royal Oaks works to stabilize rather than resolve behaviors. Before our patients leave, a case management professional can help family members schedule followup appointments with an outpatient therapist close to the patient’s home.
Q: Is transportation available?
A: Transportation is available upon request; however, we have limited resources. We will try to accommodate anyone in need of these services, but sometimes it may be more suitable and timely for the referral source or family member to transport a patient.
Q: What ages do you accept for treatment?
A: We are a 54-bed hospital consisting of secured and separate units:
Pre-adolescents (up to age 12)
Adolescents (ages 13-17)
Adults (18 and older)
Q: What insurance do you accept?
A: We accept most insurance, except adult Medicaid for individuals 21 years or older and younger than 65 years. Our Admissions Department can review insurance questions with you.
Q: Do you have to share a room with someone?
A: All rooms are semi-private rooms.
Q: Are patients allowed to have visitors during their stay?
A: Each unit has designated visitation days and times as well as predetermined hours during the day when phone calls can be made and/or received.
Q: Does Royal Oaks Hospital have a detox program?
A: We are a dual-diagnosis program and provide detox services; however, this is not considered a long-term program, and the admitting psychiatrist can require a potential patient be cleared as medically stable before being admitted. Although medications may be prescribed to help with the symptoms of detox, drugs like methadone or Suboxone are not utilized.
