Catharsis Salve

●General information: Catharsis Salve is a mental hospital, housing several different people with mental issues. It is one of the hospitals that isnt outright evil and experiments on their patients, but its also not a fairytail. There is staff that actually wants to help, and staff that couldnt care less. It was built 69 years ago and has a reputation of being humane, clean and actually helping people out.

---

●The building: ○Exterior: it looks like a typical mental hospital, forest all around it, a parking lot in the front and a bunch of grass and field for the patients to play or relax in. The walls are a boring beige. The building has 5 floors and a typical roof. It looks old from the outside, most windows arent clean.

○the garden: the garden is a massive field with trees and flowers and benches all around, a tall fence keeps the patients from running away. There are sunchairs and parkbenches, and also a bunch of loungers. There are also a few small gardening lots so the patients can garden if it helps them keep calm.

○Interior: it is minimalistic woth a sleek design and babyproofed corners, the walls are mainly either beige or yellow, sometimes pastel green and blue can be seen too. The interior is designed to stop from overwhelming and provide no hiding spots.

○first floor: the first floor has the reception and rooms for stable patients, mainly the ones who are in for eating disorders, self harm and similar not-dangerous patients. The hallways is mostly still decorated like an ordinary hospital and just feels like a warmer place, with warm lights and paintings. The reception has a big waiting room with books, thats also partially a social room for patients to play boardgames or do puzzles, its exlusively for the patients in the first floor and decorated accordingly. The patient-rooms are freely decorated by the patients with little to no restrictions. Patients in the first floor have full access to leave and to the gardens, the patients can go to the second floor freely, since the most therapy rooms are on the second floor. These patients are estimated to leave the hospital quite soon.

○second floor: the second floor is for patients who have suicidal ideations or non-dangerous schizophrenics. Most of the therapy rooms or medical offices are located on this floor. The floor is decorated like most hospitals, with little to no furniture. The therapy rooms are rooms where patients get to talk about their problems with their psychologist and get rediagnosed and get more or less freedom. The medical rooms are only for medical stuff, like a scratch or if a petient hit their head, its also there for checking up on patients physical health before or after therapy, or just randomly. The patients rooms are mainly freely decorated, as long as there are no dangerous things, none of the things are allowed to assist with self harm or suicide. The patients on the second floor can move freely on the second floor but need to be supervised when going to the lower floors in case they try to flee or hurt themselves. They have a social room with books and games and anti-suicide furniture. They are estimated to leave the hospital within the next few months.

○third floor: this floor is for patients in accute psychosis who arent a threat to others, or schizophrenics who hurt themselves due to their visions, it also homes other patients that are only a danger to themseoves and not to others. There are some therapy rooms and medical rooms for the patients on the third floor. The halls are barely decorated, with a few pictures and maybe a couple of bookshelves. They have one social room with anti-suicide furniture, games and books. They are mainly allowed to move freely on the third floor, unless they are an accute danger to themselves, which means they will have to be followed by a staff member. They cannot leave the floor most of the times, and if they can on special occasions only with a staff member. The rooms can be minimally decorated. These patients are estimated to stay longer in the hospital due to their self harming behavior

○fourth floor: this floor is for people with homocidal ideations, who are a danger to others. The halls are almost completely bare, the only pieces of furntiture are bolted to the floor so it cant be used as weapons. They have a common room with games and books, but the common room is constantly being watched by a staff member so no fights break out. The halls are also patrolled by staff members regularly. The rooms are not allowed to be decorated with anything but sost, safe things. The floor has their own therapy and medical rooms. They are never allowed to leave the floor unless its for medical reasons or for food, but only with a staff member. These patients are estimated to stay a while in the hospital.

○fith floor: the floor that houses the most dangerous patients, the criminals who were found not guilty due to mental health, or insane murderers. The halls are completely bare, the rooms are not decorated and everything is bolted to the floor. These patients cannot leave their rooms without supervisions, there is one common room, that has at least 4 guards amd is barely used. They have their own therapy and medical rooms, and their own staff that is trained to withstand dangerous people. They are NEVER allowed to oeave their floor, only in medical emergencies. These patients are estimated to leave in the far future or not at all.
