Please don’t send you kid here!! This is the worst place, I was SA’s twice had a panic attack so bad that 3 staff had to carry me out of my room because of one of the staff. The place is so nasty, the food is disgusting and is always uncooked. And when I got sick there and begged to lay down for an hour they told me no because I didn’t need to as I was folded over in pain crying and the got yelled at by one of the staff because I was “being dramatic”. They made my mental health 1000% worse and the therapist I had the first t... read more

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. Staff were extremely inconsiderate, rude and abusive with power. We were made to sit on the floor as no seating was offered unless we were eating a meal. The facilitys were completely disgusting. Girls would harass each other and very little was done to stop anything. Please do not send your child here. It was one of the worst experiences... read more

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.

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
