Honestly no, don’t go here… I was here recently and it was chaotic and unorganized. New residents here are NOT treated with respect or kindness! I was only here a month and that says a lot.
The other residents here talked behind my back about me, how my baby looked (in a very negative and racist context). The ADULT residents Stole my babys things (bottles, formula, toys, her tablet) from inside my room and then lied about it until confronted with video evidence. Also they just let their kids run around unsupervised taking things from people’s rooms as well.
My child suffers asthma, heart problems, is very vulnerable and has frequent trips to the intensive care unit to save her life.
I was told I could not have her medication and that the staff have to hold it….. my anxiety was through the roof because they are very negligent with things, I knew they would spoil it, I told them again and again how to store it properly and they told me to stop bothering them and that I’m being dramatic. When all they had to do was put it in the fridge….
When it comes time to give my baby the medicine… it’s spoiled, ruined, my heart dropped and my worries were proven right. My baby would not stop crying and I didn’t have any medicine to give her because the staff didn’t properly handle it… they said to give it to the baby anyway?!?? I was given strict instructions from icu on how to store it and the staff tried to convince me otherwise!!
Again my anxiety is through the roof, I have a baby screaming, other residents screaming at me telling me to shut the baby up, staff screaming at me, then one of the residents calls the police on me for child neglect because my unmedicated child is crying because she doesn’t have medicine, I just completely break down… this could have been prevented so many ways and just horrible treatment towards me and my child.
That month completely traumatized me for the rest of my life, and I’ve been through some horrible things but this is up there. That night was horrible, I was on edge because the staff are so nasty (called names, treated badly, made jokes about with other residents) towards certain people including me… that night I had to be questioned by police as if I’m some monster… a negligent mother and that I’m ignoring my babies cries, that’s what one of the residents called and told them.
I was mid breakdown just from the chain of events that entire month, just crying so hard and being questioned on if I’m a good mother or not… just anger grief and sadness ran through me I thought this was supposed to be a place of refuge from abuse and negativity…. The residents were just laughing at me crying….I packed my things bawling and had to use my credit card to book a $170 uber to the airport (had to throw away most of my belongings to get on the plane) and then a $500+ flight to a friends house… I was now in debt
This place will have you walking on eggshells and hold you back from your full potential and traumatize you, break you down and make you feel like you want to jump off a bridge…
Save yourself the trauma and stress don’t go here… I left here and went somewhere else, since I left here (8-9 months ago) I have been able to secure a job, house, daycare, 2 cars and a truck, fun flights around the globe with my baby, secured my GED, and I’m getting offers into multiple colleges around the U.S for nursing!!! There is hope, just not here!!!
