this happened 3 nights ago now at around 7:30'ish...a patient of their establishment escaped, hopped a fence into, and then out of my backyard, in the process damaging both fences...the 5 nurses, and 2 staff who showed up later...apologized...took my name and number...i have had to follow up 3 times, and have not rec'd a returned phone call, and since the fence was "older"...it is pretty much ruined and will need at the very least partial replacing. also, the first time i called in i was asked: "are you one of his friends?" on a follow up call i was told: "we aren't not allowed to discuss that, but that everything is secure" ...

Patients are treated like livestock or children instead of patients. Their rights are violated, they are never taken seriously, and patients are helpless to stop the 14-day hold process. My wife was there, and the ridiculous Dr. Ross wrote a report saying she had been hurting herself and that she fashioned a noose in her room... the cuts were from BEFORE she got there, and the "noose" was a twisted shirt sitting on her bed, not tied to anything nor tied into a loop. She was sexually messed with by a STAFF member, and that male staff member got transfered because of it. Dr. Ross said she is delusional and making it up. Really? Why was the staff fired then? Hmm... They never believe anything a patient says, and they don't care what the family says. Never have your family member admit themself there... it will be hell, and they could spend up to 3 months there for minor incidents or for crap that the staff can't even substantiate.‎
