My mother stayed at Hancock Hall for about 2 and a half years until she passed recently. The staff…read moreat Hancock Hall was incredibly loving, caring and seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs and working with elderly patients. They kept in excellent contact with our family throughout her stay, and my mother was very content there. The facility itself was always clean (no typical institutional smell) and they stayed on top of medications, kept her engaged with activities, and closely monitored and assisted with her food. Aside from that, during Covid, the steps they took and the frequent communication with families was exemplary. We could not have asked for more for our mother. Kudos and a big thank you to you and your wonderful staff.

They cut all kinds of nice things they used to do like holiday lunches for the patients - and the food is pretty mediocre.

They were rude, condescending and unfriendly. The last straw for me was when I had to cancel an appointment because my sons school had an emergency early dismissal and I was told I'd be charged a late fee.

Several days before the Corona Virus became a topic of any sort, I moved my mother to Ridge Crest…read moreat Meadow Ridge due to declining health. This was a very difficult decision as it was going to separate my mother from her husband. However, as I would soon learn, it became the very best choice I could have made. From my initial conversations with the Admissions Nurse Daneen, my mind was put at ease by her expertise, her overwhelming compassion and complete sense of caring about all aspects of the move. Soon after the move, I met Danielle, the head nurse of the wing where my mother was placed, and found the exact same wonderful and comforting set of values in her (I am able to talk with Danielle daily to get updates on my mother's condition). This was followed by the rest of the staff, who, again, continue to impress me in every way. Then the word of the Corona Virus made the news. Ridge Crest under the direction of Kim Held, the Director of Nursing, took decisive and immediate action and locked down the facility to all visitors. This was far in advance of other nursing facilities,and has played a pivotal role in keeping the facility safe. This meant my mother's husband and I would no longer be able to visit her. However, once again, the Ridge Crest team stepped up. They understood the social and emotional toll this would take on their residents and their loved ones. Through the staff's loving and compassionate ways they put the residents at ease, as well as their family and loved ones. I am able to be in regular contact with the nursing staff by phone, my mother via FaceTime (set up by the staff). I cannot imagine a better, safer, more professional and loving place to have placed my mother. Ridge Crest is simply an outstanding facility.

I honestly needed BlueSky a lot sooner and I wish they had a better working relationship with other…read moreresidential programs in New England instead of advertising on the radio in Danbury. I wish the programs were more clearly outlined on the website so more people in need could find it. The Pros: Competent clincians (with an exception who was let go), who offer thorough, well-researched groups. The ability to tailor your schedule to your needs, and reassess over time. Transportation is provided, and there is a number to call for 24/7 support in the ETP (Enhanced Treatment Program). There was always a therapist on call. Of the programs I have been in, I will say BlueSky has the ability to provide high-quality care for a wider variety of issues, including psychosis and trauma. The trauma psycho-ed group was a particular favorite of mine - I had never experienced that level of psychoeducation in any other setting. The cons: some houses are much nicer than others (for those in the ETP program). Security in the houses is very lax, there were break ins at one location during my time there. There is no accounting for noise levels, creppy neighbors, and people smoking weed in your driveway. Male staff can enter all-female housing at any time, even in the middle of the night. Nothing untoward ever happened that I knew of, but it is a consideration for some. Night shift staff can be dismissive - once I was in the midst of a panic attack, called for meds, and was told to 'wait until morning' next time because the medication was 'too hard to sort through'. Of the two perscribers I worked with, one (the MD) was much more competent. I was still over medicated, to my detriment. Having been in similar programs before, I will say this is about par for the course anywhere you go, especially if you enter on a robust med regimen. My time at BlueSky was not wasted. As with any program, you get out what you are able to put into it. I felt I had adequate support and was well-prepared to live on my own by the time I left.

Note: This review on Google was taken down, because it was flagged by the Blue Sky staff. Very…read moreSHADY! Anyway, Blue Sky brings up very mixed feelings. The folks were well intentioned and caring but not very detailed oriented. Communication always seemed to be an issue, and my medications were never quite right. The individual therapy was fine, and the groups were hit or miss, depending on who facilitated. The life coaches were just unreliable but nice and well intentioned. My biggest reservation involved our dependence on rides to the store, appointments or to the clinic. Being on time always seemed to be an issue, and schedules would change at the last minute with no communication. I intended my stay to be a six month treatment experience but only completed one month. That's all I could take. I was discharged and transferred to a sober living facility but foolishly decided to continue with Blue Sky IOP for "treatment continuity". I lasted 3 more weeks before reaching the end of my rope. Overall, Blue Sky was a learning experience and like most such services, it's exactly what you make of it. I sought to make the best of my time there but was very glad to leave and finally cut ties completely. UPDATE: Today, I am working on 3 years sobriety and remain hopeful about long term recovery. Now that some time has past, I definitely see how Blue Sky was a major challenge in my post treatment recovery, but I plugged into another program and learned from that whole ordeal. Others have been helped, so like that unwritten Taylor Swift song we'll never hear, "Maybe It's Me". Best wishes to all seeking a sober life!
