Unfortunately, we still haven't met for a skate. Fair warning... they may not be YOUR people. Keep in mind, we are all heavily medicated. Think.

Yelp shows me a prompt, "what could improve?" Here's my answer: BELIEVE WOMEN. Treat women as if…read moreyou actually believe them. Ask questions in such a way that you signal you are willing to believe. In the early 1970s I was placed in a facility at this physical location. It has changed hands many times. The location and the physical buildings are just as I recall. The people, the management team, the corporate face and name have all changed. I seem to recall it was a general medical facility at that time, but it did have a locked psych ward. Other contemporary reviews suggest the attitude has not changed. I was punished by my mother for being in a deep clinical depression. I was "diagnosed" as schizophrenic (a catch-all back then for "we're clueless.") My mother added language that I was a slut and a liar, etc. I was kept under observation for 2+ weeks, and threatened with electroshock therapy. I slapped a smile on my face and acted like I was perfectly happy to be there, to avoid "treatment." I'm sure it would have been profitable for me to have stayed there much longer. There was another patient in the same locked psych ward, in his 40s or 50s. He had been admitted for treatment to a locked psych ward, where several teenage girls including me were housed. His alternative was jail time, because he was a convicted child molester. Somebody in management must have agreed this was a good idea, and took no precautions to avoid the inevitable. He molested me. I was not stupid. A schizophrenic lying slut would not have been believed. Institutional prestige would have been damaged, revenues compromised. My mother was hell-bent on punishing me for responding as I did to her poor parenting skills. I prioritized my own sanity over justice. I did what I had to, acted adorable, sweet and innocent, and never looked back. Sort of a secular version of "Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey." I needed to get out, and could not risk what I saw as clear signals that I would be disbelieved, and silenced for my efforts. I brute-forced my life back on track, made a number of self-sabotaging decisions that could have killed me, and managed to appear externally successful, although I could have done more in my career. There is no possible apology or remedy for the harm I have suffered. Maybe management is no longer that stupid. Maybe there are good people and good patient experiences to be had. Yelp reviews tend to skew to strongly-held feelings, either good or bad. But the sorts of things I'm seeing in the reviews here make me think there's carryover--whether at this specific place, or in the field of mental health care generally. I am writing this review partly as an amends to my 16-year-old self. This review has taken me literally over 50 years to compose. I also want to flag a possible continued attitude I find horrifying: not believing women. I want to warn people that I have read enough research about the mental health field and how they treat children. I have additional firsthand experience about the failings of the mental health field from my time as a caregiver to my life-partner. (After all the drugs, labels, and shaming for "not doing the work," turns out she was actually early onset Alzheimer's.) I know that my experience was not entirely unusual. You want to improve? Believe women. I was not able to articulate what I was experiencing at that time. But I did know quite clearly what was going on. Believe women.

They have been really helping me with my issues. I am so happy that I was referred for treatment.read more

Most notable experience was using dry needling and the Neubie / Neufit machine. The needling helped relax and stimulate his high tension areas. The Neubie was the coolest part.

She did a full body evaluation, found different points of diss alignment, and advised small changes to everyday posture (like different position while driving the car). She recommended a pillow and at home muscle stimulator which are both extremely reasonable in price. All in all, a great experience. I highly recommend this center - the machines and therapists are top of the line.

I would highly recommend Bellaire Physical therapy to anyone who wants to recover from any surgery, especially knee, neck and back pain, balance issues, etc. I have been a patient of M D Anderson for almost 15 years and they come recommended by MD Anderson. I was sent back to Physical therapy after experiencing a bad fall with multiple injuries, and I am relieved they are there to help me.

There were so many positives at Brazo Towers that I recommend it. The care of a stroke patient such as my husband is very difficult and necessitates a very active family advocate all the time. We were very disappointed in the lack of patient activities. Although a vigorous monthly calendar was posted very little activities occurred during my husband's stay. When we were leaving we saw indication regarding possible improvement in that area as well.

When she had completed her rehabilitation or shall we say our insurance would stop paying for it, we decided to go for into the memory care unit of the Gardens Of Bellaire. What a mistake. There was a woman on my mother-in-law's floor who would always come into my mother-in-law's room and lay down in her bed. None of the staff did anything permanent to stop the problem, even though we complained constantly. About an hour before every meal they would cram everyone into a tiny TV room so that they could get everything ready for the meal. Literally wheelchairs were almost on top of each other. The general manager Jackie, was very rude and showed that she cared very little For those of been placed in her care. The nurses were very nice and that is the only good thing I can say about this facility. The good things that I observed about Bellaire Gardens are the following. The folks in assisted living looked very happy! Since my mother-in-law was in memory care she did not get to interact with these residents. I did however see them and speak with them and was told that the food was good. I also observed that the activities director was very engaging and that many of the assisted living residents participated in the various activities,. I noted they were especially happy when Bellaire Air Gardens brought in musicians and singers to entertain! I had a sense, that everyone in the assisted-living program, was one big happy family!

She left the facility 2.5 weeks later in a wheelchair but able to walk a very long distance using a walker plus she could now take care of all her personal needs by herself. The staff is awesome. The Director of Nursing Stephanie Gonzales always had time to talk to me about policies and procedures and how to make the time there as effective as possible. Both Jennifers on staff were also extremely helpful in making my wife's care the best it could be. Charlotte handled most of the daily routines for my wife and she was the most caring person you could hope to have their for your family member. Many other staff members were also helpful and always cheerful. The Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy staff were really good at what they do. They amended the program to what my wife was able to do but they pushed her beyond the simple things to get her as strong as possible during the stay. We had chosen this facility because of friends experiences there with family members. I would highly recommend it to anyone I know as well. I spent a significant amount of time with my wife at this facility and saw how they operate first hand. Of course there were occasional hiccups when the staff was busy at meal times but overall it was as best we could expect. Thanks to everyone there for making a difficult necessity a wonderful and effective experience.
