It's quite the crazy place. Good: The majority of the staff were nice to me, the beds were comfy, and activity time was pretty fun. Bad: The staff barely pay attention to what happens, they mix the depressed kids with the anger issue kids, you aren't supposed to talk to the other units, no phones, and homicidal roommates can be pretty scary.
My daughter was here for 3 months.. She still has nightmares. There is a woman who works there named Jackie.. She is mean and is racist towards white children. This woman yells shut up to the children and curses at the children. They don't keep the unruly children separate from the others my daughter had gotten into 2 physical altercations there, defending herself which had never happened in her entire life. My daughter had never been aggressive either, but I was told constantly she was. My child was also exposed to sexuality abused children that talked to my daughter about inappropriate stuff. Everything I called my daughter there would always be children running around screaming, and the adults would never stop it.. I would never recommended this place..
I hate this place. Being there feels like juvenile detention (and i've been there) where all that happens is we are fed, watch tv, and sometimes go outside.
There are so many things to say about this hospital. I have been three times, from ages 15 to a month shy of my 18th birthday. The staff is rude, do not care about the patients, and are there only to get a paycheck. There are staff members having sexual relations with the MINORS who are patients. They have no program for anyone struggling with eating disorders or drug/alcohol addiction. The school work that is done is word puzzles and coloring pages for kindergarten children and WELL UNDER the recommended materials that are needed for children of certain ages. If you are in school, and have work that has to be done for YOUR SCHOOL, they do not give it to you, rather they give you a puzzle and send in your "grade" to your school. If you misbehave they take away your visitation rights. Things are constantly stolen by other patients and the staff has no care for the things stolen. There are fights that break out constantly. I do not even want to get started on the gangs that are in there. I have talked to several people in this hospital who have said that the Juvenile Detention Centers were the equivalent of this hospital. The amount of gang activity going on in this Hospital is sickening. Even the staff members wear and support their gang colors. If you are thinking of sending your child to this hospital I would kindly ask that you don't. This is one of the worst hospitals. They do not care, at all about any of their patients. I have seen instances where a girl was molested by another patient, and she got isolated because she wouldn't stop crying, and that boy that did that to her, got in NO trouble. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE.
I have had children of both friends and another family member that have received treatment at this hospital. Both hospital stays were important steps for the safety of each child. Of course no one wants their child to be hospitalized. However, when it's a life or death situation, you want to make sure they're getting the best treatment available. One parent had nothing but positive things to say about the staff and how well her child was treated while being evaluated. The other couldn't say enough about the difference she's seen in her daughter since her short stay. I would recommend this facility to anyone having a child in need of crisis intervention services.
The staff treats us like children in elementary by doing these "recreational therapy" things that just include drawings or some crafts or arts thing.
I only liked one therapist the times i have been there but even with her, all it revolved around was asking how I felt and what can I do about it. They don't give advice, they don't try to assist you in any way. All they do is write down about as and we go back to the area we stay in.
Often times our condition is not taken seriously at all. Take for example me, instead of some kind of therapy, antidepressants, or counseling service for my severe suicidal ideations, they perscribed me sleep medicine. As if that is the type of thing I need. Yes it is true that there is some "group therapy" but the thing about it, is all it involves is the same things of "coping skills" or "what can you do in an example of a situation". It feels like pre-k when they would say stuff like "be respectful" and "sharing is caring"
So doctors, staff that watch over us, and therapists treat us like small children. I am 16 and in my eyes very matured. A place like this is designed like a day care for little kids, only difference is it has medications and doctors there.
