Wonderful, caring and helpful staff at the Landing. Dr Boyd and his team that provides ECT treatment are superb! I am thankful for the care everyone provided while I was seeking treatment. The treatment has completely changed my life and I am truly grateful!!

It's been a few years since I've been here, so maybe things have changed since then, but my experience wasn't as bad as some of these other reviews. As far as I remember the staff (except for one person who I'll talk about later) was really nice and not at all abusive. The intake process can be long, but I think that's most hospital/clinical settings. I read a review that said something about spiders which can be true. There were some big, brightly colored spiders on the lower floor which is probably caused by the area they're in and also being on a lower floor. The place is really clean though. The food was really good and healthy. The nurses really attempted to bond with us and were generally respectful. They treated us like normal people who just needed help and partially inspired me to go into mental health. The negative parts would be that we were not allowed to continue communication with other patients outside of the hospital without parental permission, which is understandable, but it can be difficult to get parental permission in the circumstances, and with us constantly being together we shouldn't be expected not to befriend each other. We were also not allowed to speak to the opposite sex at all, which kind of sucked because some of the guys seemed really nice, and I feel like that is assuming that all of the patients are straight, which me and several others were not. The worst thing though was probably the school teacher we had. She was extremely condescending towards teenagers. I remember her telling us something like the definition of an argument is something an adolescent tries to mask as a conversation and when a boy told her that adolescents do try to have sincere conversations and that is an inaccurate definition and she said he was arguing and proving her point (he was not arguing). She also yelled and got angry with another patient that was helping her pass out pencils.

Staff was caring and helpful from the minute I walked into the door. Treated respectfully by the staff and the patients. Great place.

I was inpatient here over 8 times as a minor due to my own guardians incompetence and lack of understanding. I was treated as if I were their own family there, and later became good friends with one of the older nurses as she lives next door to my fiance. The groups are open and everyone gets time to speak and process their feelings with feedback from the whole group and staff, and the food was actually really good! I have spent Christmas, Thanksgiving, and birthdays inpatient at lakeside and they made the patients their first priority the whole time. A big thank you to all the staff.

I have odd and anger problems but I went to lakeside it helped a lot
