After 1 and a half hour drive, the wait time was 2 hours and a half, and we still DIDN'T SEE ANYONE. Major lack of communication and overall a waste of time. The staff was basically ignoring us, and we were told we were the only ones there. When we told them we were leaving they decided to have someone talk to us. So that someone brought us into a room where we sat for an additional 40 minutes, alone. Finally, we got up and left.
Do not send your family members here! The staff members are horrible and impolite. You don't get to meet individually with a therapist unless your parents recommend it. The only nice staff members there were ms jay and mr josh. My doctor (dr terry) told me he didn't want me as a patient cause I had trouble paying attention while he was talking. I only met with him once while I was there and he put me on ability after I told him I slept too much! Which made it worse. the staff made you feel bad about your problems and one of them even told me it was for attention. PARKWOOD ISNT THE PLACE
Whenever I went here, which was in about 2013-2014, i was teased by the staff because i was overweight and i was also getting teased by my 'peers' and the staff wouldn't do anything about it. Also, they were very strict. The beds were uncomfortable and the showers were cold. They held me for 2 months, when i was supposed to go home 2 weeks after arriving there. The food was gross. 2/10, would not recommend. The only good thing was the phone calls.
My son is in there now, should be getting discharged Thursday! All the staff is very nice, I talk to him EVERY NIGHT! He is getting better and making progress day by day. With this being our VERY 1st experience in any facility I'm very pleased with Parkwood! I even call the nurses 3 times a day to check on my son and they never have a problem with it!!
I am teen old girl. I went to Parkwood multiple times for suicidal and homicidal thoughts. The staff that worked with us during the day was incredibly rude and laughed and smiled at us in group when we talked about our issues. When we got in trouble we would not get to pick out our food and stay on the unit during meals. I had to stay on the unit for crying with my head down during group. Because we was talking about suicide and that was "disrespectful". The only benefit of parkwood is not as much opportunities to harm yourself. Don't go there thinking they are going to help you overcome depression.
