Clearview was highly recommended for me. Now that...

Clearview was highly recommended for me. Now that I can step back and review my stay, I have a few things to say. It is NOT a great place for older women. To have us rooming with someone so much younger, someone you may not have much in common with is very stressful. It is hard to find a spot to be alone and work on what is being taught. I could easily be the parent of most residences. It was a lonely experience.
I have migraines. There is NO option for staying in bed. At one point I was sick with a virus being passed around. I spent the day on a couch with people coming and going. Several of the leaders came down with the same virus the following week. You need to provide options for when someone is ill...be it a bed in a quiet room in the therapy house! You have good therapist and not so good. I reported when one of the therapist gave me a nasty attitude. She denied what was said and that was the end of it. Being older means it wasn't easy to enter and exit the van. Since when are the instructors superior to the residents? We were treated as patients, no rights, no advantages. I found it very demeaning.
I finally reached saturation and asked to go home. We hadn't finished the work I was doing with my therapist. After 5 weeks I was tired of waiting to work on it. The food was mostly good. It bothered me a lot to see how much we were throwing away. Homeless people can be found just around the corner. Surely there must be a way to share our waste? Many of the residents never ate what was provided but ordered out. I wonder about stating our intentions made before so much food is provided? Would I recommend Clearview to older women. NEVER
