I got more help from clients than staff. The therapist was getting ready to quit when I came so I didn't see much of her. The staff were all more interested in each other than us. you would think you were in Alabama with everyone being related. The nurse had a daughter working there. The higher ups also had a sun or daughter working there. I'm mostly upset about the lack of actual therapy and help they promised. All staff did was put a movie in, take us out or send us to our rooms. We never really did any thing. It's really just sad.
I have to say their Facebook page looks slot better than the actual place. You can thank Schales Nagel for that. Sorry Schales.I speak the truth.🙊🤷
