This place was so wonderful for my son but the stay is not long enough although they did extend his stay it would be nice if this was for 6 months.

To Niya M Scott-Smith

This place blessed my family. The Psychiatrist was trash and unethical, but they promptly handled our concerns and he is long gone. The staff listen, care and adapt to clients' respective needs.

Incompetent male staffer along with inappropriate behavior. He creates an unsafe space for patients and management has done nothing to fix the situation and protect its patients.

Consider this point, they allow cellular phone use with No restrictions. They don't know if other clients are being filmed and have no controls over how this filming is being used. As a 2nd time client in last 5 yrs. Recent "stay" the place has gone down in quality and cleanliness. Sign of times the "service leader" said her qualifications were lyft driver and childcare background!??
