  I was apart of the in-patient facility and I can say it was the best 💯. I was there for literally for 4 years and it helped me with my anger and depression. This was the best experience ever 😫 changed my life. The staff there is amazing and the school safety is the best 💪🏽 I’m really happy I was sent here for help because this place changed a lot of us who turned 18 and was discharged. I just want to thank the staff for always telling me “Imani you have a good head on your shoulders and an amazing life to live” ‼️ Thanks to all the staff and therapist who was there for me. I appreciate it a lot.

  The place is a DEATH trap, no supervision, children hurt all the time and sent to LIJ ER for treatment. Sanitary conditions lacking. No posted bill of rights. DO NOT let your children go there unless they are really ANIMALS

  If I could give this place zero stars, I would. This place is a step up from jail...hardly. The first thing you do here is wake up to them yelling your name, and get ready to take a shower. There's a cart with an individual shower bag, rags, and a gallon of liquid soap. You're supposed to pour that soap into a rag, and that is what you use to wash yourself with. the showers here average 5 minutes, and if you take longer than that, the staff will literally bang on the door and yell at you to hurry up. The staff here yell and scream so often. They pretty much seem to get paid for doing nothing except that. Seriously, once I had to go to the bathroom, and there was urine all over the seat. When I brought this up to the staff member, he basically told me to clean it up myself. Are you kidding me? There could be diseases there! After showering you line up to take meds...if you refuse to take meds over a certain period of time, they have the authority to inject you with it. After meds, you line up, in the order of boys to girls, then count. If you forget your number, you hold everyone up, and the count restarts. Once the count is completed, everyone can head to the dining room, where you then eat breakfast. The food here is "take it or leave it." If you do not like the meal they are serving, well then, too bad, you go hungry until the next meal. In city hospitals, you can eat whatever your parents bring you. In here, your parents can bring you food, and you can only eat it in the waiting room. If you bring it back to the unit, it is considered contraband. After you finish a meal here, you have to throw the leftovers out. The utensils here are reusable and if you end up accidently throwing one out, then you have to put on a pair of gloves, and dig through the trash to find it. After breakfast you attend school. Although the teachers here are decent people , the school here is mediocre, and you'll most likely fall behind. When I went back to regular school, I found out that NYCC neglected to send my records back. So when my guidance counselor called to question them, the principal said he didn't remember who I was! literally only a few days after I was discharged. The school, as any other school should be a safe environment for kids, but it isn't. Just like the rest of this institution, it is pretty dangerous. Kids fighting, throwing chairs, kicking doors. After school, depending on the weather, you either stay indoors, or outdoors. If it's outdoors, expect to be sitting around in the humidity doing nothing. If it's indoors, expect to be sitting around, watching whatever the kid with remote wants to watch. Dinner time is around 5 p.m. Right after is rec, which keeps the kids entertained for only a brief period of time. Then you hit the showers, and go to bed at 7 p.m! Most of the staff here are awful...prejudice, mean, transphobic, and perverted. Prejudice? yes. First let me start off with saying, I am not a racist. That is not how I was raised. I have had friends of all different backgrounds. But I do genuinely believe reverse prejudice exists here. As a light skinned person, I felt mostly targeted by the predominately black staff My friends pointed it out too! One staff member even " joked" about me being ugly. In another instance, a black girl kept calling someone a "white b**ch," and the staff said absolutely nothing. In another instance, a staff member by the name of MR. CORTLAND, kept calling a white kid, "fatboy," after the kid repeatedly asked him to stop. Even when there were other heavier kids in the room. (who were darker). mr. cortland is awful, and every patient said so.

  I had very good experience at this facility. Starting with my children's therapists Andres Goris and Lisa Tesi, Dr Helman and the security staff everyone is very professional, courteous and helpful. I highly recommend this facility based on my experience with these people and the way my children have responded to their attention.

  I was transferred from a hospital to a state hospital. I myself was scared out of my mind. I was supposed to stay for 6 months. I ONLY lasted ONE WEEK. My second day there my parents wrote the 72 hour letter to get me out of that hell whole. There was fights constantly, kids would clime on the fence and try to escape. It is in a horrible condition. My parents did the best that they can to get me out. My 4th night there my roommate was covered with red patches on her skin and the next day we found out that there were BED BUGS. I left that hospital last year in August the summer of 2015. I wouldn't be surprised if that place gets shut down. The staff was horrible. They did not care about the patients at all. They would yell back at patients scream and curse at them! When children would act up you were restrained. Oh and if u think that you can have a long shower and night or in the morning. Well you are wrong. Your shower had to be between 3-5 min or if you don't shower they give you the option to do adls. I was terrified of the place. I missed my parents so much. And my stay was only one week. I was only allowed to make one phone call a day because there were to many patients. And if the person that your trying to reach don't answer, I would advise you to leave a message because if you hang up you cant make another phone call. But you can have them contact you during phone hours. All I want to say is that this is my experience. It may not be the same for others but i just dont recommend your child to stay here. Well I wish all the parents or guardians that see this I wish you the best of luck and the same to your loved ones.
