I was at Hermitage Hall for 10 months. While i was there i saw some very disturbing things with my own eyes. How they treat us is not okay whatsoever. There are male staff there who are having sexual relationships with some of the female residents. The place is FILTHY! There are cockroaches and more. I have seen multiple cockroaches in the kitchen! On one of the units when it rains it leaks through the ceiling, so they made my roomates and i move our mattresses out into the dayroom to sleep for a good 4 days. They do not provide the right supervision for the residents there. Oh and the therapists oh lord let me tell you, the therapist do not give any advice. I remember i was crying one day and the therapist rolled her eyes and turned the other way, then took me back to school. Also i remember it was me and 3 other residents and we were outside sitting on the roof for 2 hours before any staff or anyone seen us or noticed we were missing. Let me remind you that staff are supposed to do their checks every 15 minutes. That doesn't happen. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting, there is mold everywhere. Also one resident found ants in her corn on the cob one day. We also had a school but we don't do anything in school. We sit there and watch movies or color. Now there are some good things about this place but not very many. The only actual therapy we did grt was Rec therapy every Mon. Wed. Sat. And Sun. We also got to go to the gym on the weekends. And for the unit i was on(Genesis) we got groups every Mon. and Wed. Overall this place is ridiculously filthy and corrupt. If you have a choice i would not recommend sending your child there.
