It is with pleasure and thanks that I write this review and I rarely write Yelp reviews. There a…read morefew groups of staff - administrative, food service, behavioral techs, case managers, medical, and therapists. In ALL areas these persons are universally 1. professional, 2. skilled, 3. non-fake, kind, and caring, 4. qualified.
Maybe it is not important for care, but I thought a reader of this review would want to know that I never skipped any of my 90 meals because the food is great. I gained 14 lbs.
If you are a prospective client, the therapy is engaging and effective. Plan on hours of group work a day.
Root cause therapy happens, not just coping skills.
I do not know if the staff created the atmosphere, but the patient culture is terrific, and peers will help you, and some will be lifelong friends and supporters.
The rooms are good; expect a roomate in most cases. The nursing staff is skilled & professional and always with a smile, but I could use that same superlative with all the groups of staff.
You will like the staff.
You will like the treatment.
You will like the food.
You will like the bed.
You will like the firepit, cornhole, pickleball, gym, etc.
The treatment will work if you work.
The ability to keep in touch with work, friends, and family is part of the philosophy--you keep your phone and laptop. You can't work full-time, but more than a few of us got work done, and the phone absolutely helps in preparing your life after discharge. I think most patients end up using it to communicate with other patients.
The facility is not full-blown Ritz luxury, but it is not even close to being a dump. If it were a hotel, it would be a Hampton Inn, and I saw a pattern of continuous upgrading, so maybe it will be luxurious in the future. Who cares? Vacation amenities are not really the point of staying here. Definitely clean, safe, and secure if that is a concern.
