If I could give this place 0 I would it’s been 20 yrs since I spent 10 months here and it was truly one of the worst experiences of my life. If you are a foster kid it is even worse the things they do because there is no one to hold anyone accountable. I had hoped that this place was shut down by now it’s sad to see it’s still going. Do yourselves a favor if you truly love your child send them somewhere else this is not the place for them it will permanently alter there life and not for the good.

I was hospitalized 3 years ago here when I was 16. At the time there was an outbreak of the flu. I caught it and all they did was lock me in a room for 24 hours with no contact with anyone.

If I could give this place a 0 stars I would. Staff is horrible, they mess up your meds not only that but they also put down your diagnosis’s wrong. Because they don’t have the time or day to listen. It’s way too strict and the food is disgusting. If you talk or sit too close they automatically think ur daiting or flirting with your peers. You’d think for a mental hospital you could talk and joke to pass time and have a little bit of fun, something to distract you from what you’re going through but no. If you ever think abou... read more

Whether you are self admitting or are involuntarily admitting someone, please stay away from this place. (I want to first say that this facility has multiple sexual abuse cases against the people they've employed and 32 plaintiffs against lakeland themselves.) I was admitted here on the adolescents unit (4-south) 2 years ago and the things that happened to me and others, stay with me to this day. I will not go into detail as i simply do not want to re-live/re-experience the things that happened but i will try my best to ex... read more
