To start off, this place caused me a lot of emotional trauma and anxiety. But! I can say that they did help me, I'm actually living my life now instead of existing. Hillside is the best place to send your children for treatment.

I was there a year ago and I can honestly say I’ve had time to cool down and really think about this. This place caused by emotional drama. I remember being told multiple times about the area and if I tried to escape that I had a high risk of being r****, kidnapped, and sold. They lied to my parents about my actions and gave my parents advice that if they followed I can confidently say I would still not be speaking to them. The staff is what I can only consider emotionally abusive, and I was often emotionally manipulated. They got mad at me and said I child would be r**** because I hugged another patient on there last day whitch had given me verbal consent to hug them. I remember crying myself to sleep begging anyone who would listen to just be let out. They knew my triggers and repeatedly used them to there advantage further traumatizing me. The food was decent and some of the teachers were actually really nice but over all this place resulted in multiple therapy sessions after leaving crying about what they put me through. I’m still not over it and only beg that you do not send your loved ones here. It will be there own personal emotional hell.

Our daughter discharged from Hillside almost two years ago. Words simply cannot express our our gratitude to Hillside. As parents we were losing hope that our journey to find healing for our daughter would have a happy ending. After searching for treatment that would help her overcome her struggles, Hillside was THE answer. There are many things that distinguishes Hillside as a premier mental health hospital for children and adolescence. From the beginning of our Hillside experience it was evident that they understood our daughter and her struggles. They were also confident that they knew how to help her. We found Hillside staffed with extremely competent professionals that truly cared about helping our child. They also involved us as parents in developing the treatment plan...they listened to us!! What a breath of fresh air. Not only did they work with our daughter while she was a resident, they also worked extensively with the parents. The weekly family sessions were invaluable to helping us understand our daughter and her struggles better. From the very beginning of her stay, the family therapy sessions began educating us on how to better support our daughter and also began to prepare us for her future transition back into our home. The medical doctor and nurses were amazing as well. They were able to diagnose her quickly and get her on the right medication. The school was incredible and the staff at Jo Williams Cottage provided the right support. Our daughter will be graduating high school in May and plans to begin college in the fall. A few years ago we would have never felt this could be possible. We highly recommend Hillside to anyone searching for help for their child. Hillside cares and they have a plan that will help your child!!

Im writting this on another persons account, simply because the paranoia still runs deep which instilled itself from the torment of this ward... its been approximally 6 years since i was released at 15 years of age. I just have one question? Do they still have the ICE box? For some of you that were placed on the other side of the ward maybe you didnt hear about it, mainly because they would only use it for the “dangerous ones” lol its a 65 degree 5x10 box that they would place you in after sedating you and placing you in a “saftey coat” lol yea i was a young unexperienced lad at that time but these memories have helped me tremendously accounting in my rareity of “disoreders” this place help a you phsycopath become primed and ready for anything so thanks guys! Lol

ambers world my life be like

I thought the food was ok staff were gr8 i actually miss hillside my last visit i graduated the program was level 5 the day i left now i have a baby and my own apartment THANK YOU SOOO MUCH HILLSIDE

Emily Guzman Rios

So far it has exceeded our expectations! My son is still there he complained the food was tasteless. I am thinking probably due to some diet restrictions. They have a set schedule and routine that my son with autism needs. They help the children focus on hygiene, manners, time management, learning respect for others, taking responsibility of their actions. We have family therapy weekly and they keep the communication open with the parents. I have been through so many therapy’s with my son , psychologist, psychiatrist, and different medication. Nothing worked but this place is helping him so much he is now A&B student. And very little meltdowns and very cooperative. So far I am very content I would recommend this place for a child who needs help.

Jordan Thomas

staff was amazing= Mr. Nate, Shawn, Tyler.

Michelle Mercado

For the love of God please don’t send your children here. I just got out and that place ruined me. The staff is horrible & the food is for dogs. They treat you like prisioners. Oh please don’t even get me started on Jo williams cottage. Kenzie, Darian, Crystal Douglas. You all literally are the meanest people I’ve ever met. They literally do not care about their job nor the patients & get you in trouble for breathing.

Ella Sanders

I was here for a little over a month and it was the worst experience of my life. The staff was so unfair, they treated this one girl like she was some high and mighty princess. For example, if she did something to you and you said something about it to the staff, they would jump all over you and you would be the one to get in trouble. Also you get “no’s” for not eating enough. I don’t think they realize that not everyone eats the same, I’ve never been one to eat a lot at one time because if I do I start feeling sick because of my acid reflux. Well, one time I couldn’t eat anymore and I felt like if I did I was going to throw up, so I told them that. Their response was something along the lines, “you either eat or get a no,” like seriously?!? My mom even told them not to make me eat when I feel sick because I will throw up, and they still tried to make me eat. They also tried to teach us that we shouldn’t “depend on our parents,” but we’re kids? I’m pretty sure kids kind of need to depend on their parents for things. They also tried to tell me that me being close to my mom was unhealthy, she’s my mom and it’s in no way unhealthy to be close to her. This place is ridiculous and I am baffled at how many good reviews there are.

OMG best place! I was in the Jo Williams cottage. Which they told me is for more... Self-controlled parients. That's what they said. Its smaller and nicer. Which is a little unfair. But, not everyone needs the same treatment. Some need small and nice. Some need big and tough. Makes them feel less alone. I guess... Anyways! Food was a little bland, but staff was great! Ms.Fab. Mmm! You go girl! She probably doesn't remember me but i remember her! At first, we were not so nice with each other. Later, she became my favorite staff! I met my soulmate there. Not lover soulmate. But a friend. She and I were close. We shared similar interests, opinions, and problems. None. And yet we were there. She is thought of everyday now. I probably won't see her again, but Kira, you can do it! I miss you! Highly reccomened.

Many years ago, I took on the position as a caretaker. Although my time at Hillside was brief, it was an experience that helped shape my life's journey, making me more empathetic to the lost, hurt, and forgotten souls of society.

Captain Haratio Magellan Crunch

My name is Logan Cantore and I'm a former patient from Hillside. It's been a while since I've even thought about my stay because things have gone so well since, I just got my first job today and I truly believe I never would've had the motivation to do it if it wasn't for the outstanding staff at Hillside. If I may I'd like to request that Mr. RJ, Mrs. Crystal, Mr. Gabe, Mr. Logan, Mr. John, and all the night and day staff each personally receive my sincere thanks for the phenomenal job that they do there. If it weren't for you guys I would've never grown up to be the man I am today, and for that reason you all have a very special place in my heart. YOU GUYS SAVED MY LIFE. I'm sorry I haven't called or visited to update you all but it's been a hell of a ride and I want you all to know I haven't forgotten a single thing you guys did for me. I'm sorry for some of the stupid decisions I made while I was there, but in the end I'm so happy to have spent the 3 months that I spent with you all. Please remember all the laughs we shared and even sometimes the tears, it's kept me going for a long long time now and I hope it's done the same for each of you. I miss you all so much and I hope to come visit soon. Keep up the good work everyone, and never forget the reason each of you is there because I know I never will. ?❤ P.S. I know not everyone has the same experience here and I understand so that's why I want to address this. These people work their butts off to keep the patients safe. I saw it every single day I was there and I can say in complete confidence that if they didn't have to do certain things the way they do it they'd change it all in a heartbeat. I felt welcomed every day I woke up, I felt like I was with a family away from my family, I felt safe like I am at home now. My whole stay there I constantly thought about home, but now that I've left I have nothing but a desire to come back just to thank the staff for what they did for me and I live 6 hours and 33 minutes away. I know because I was upset that I never properly said goodbye the whole ride home. So if you really didn't like your stay then I'm sorry, but I can say in good conscience that I will never forget the lessons I learned and the people I grew to know at Hillside.

Very attentive, extremely knowledgeable and caring.

This place saved my son life. He is struggling with depression but he is learning very important skills to deal with it. The therapist are the best, they know how to push them in a safe way. Believe me I have been in many therapist offices before we got here. As a parent, this is the first time that I could go to sleep knowing that my son has been working hard to get better. The staff (all of them) are not working there for just a check, they really care. I would never be able to pay them for their support, help and treatment that they provided to my son. THANKS!

I worked here for several years as a behavior spec. and the hours were convenient for my schedule. I wouldn't say it is all bad but there is no connection between the management and the behavior specalists. Although we worked with the children all the time we were treated as glorified fry cooks and made to know that we were expendable. Unfortunately it is a totally private hospital so the admin. Doesn't answer to anybody. As a result they give themselves raises and bonuses regularly while paying the unit staff very poorly. The HR dept. is unlike anything I have ever experienced. They are not there for employees and we were routinely threatened with the spectre of a visit to HR as a prelim to being fired. This place is run like a small fiefdom with those at the top doing very well while treating those closest to the patients quite badly. As an example we worked 12hr shifts during which we were not permitted a scheduled break. You could ask for a short break but it was at your supervisors discretion. When new hires would lecture us about the illegality of this practice we would laugh and say "welcome to Hillside".

nathaniel moore

Its cool .its a great straight out of college job. The kids are a handful but overall its a cool job. The 12hr shifts get a little tiring but after while you get use to it

The equivalent of prison

Thank you for helping my daughter and doing so in a professional and charismatic way. My family appreciates your help

The Suicidal Baby

Great staff, therapists, etc. There have been a few abusive staff members here and there, but if you report your issue or situation they will handle it. I was a patient here a few years back and I just remember how much this place has helped me.

Qwe Bob

I was here for 2 years in 08 and 09 , don't know how it is there now but when I was there I had a great time. shout out to Ms. Holly !!! she was the best there she really cared about us :) I agree with The Suicidal Baby about some staff some do over use there power sometimes but other than that it was all good

Eric Peratino

Great help

Cassidy Frye

Hillside is the worst thing that has ever happened to me, I discharged a year ago. I've been a lot of trauma and suicide attempts, and been to 3 other residential treatment facilities, all of which were better than Hillside. I had nightmares about Hillside for months, I was emotionally and mentally abused while there. The staff were for the most part heartless and mean. My therapist was cruel. I hated my time there, would not recommend.

I was there from 2006 to 2009. Was known as Zachary then but I'm known as Celeste. I hardly remember names but there were a few cool staff( Mr. Zack, Mr. Ryan, and Mr. Reynolds) who actually gave a damn about me as a child(26 currently). I was technically raised in these places because I lashed out due to hardly ever having any positive reinforcement and back then I felt punished more than anything. I was emotionally and physically abused by the other children and staff and was demonized for defending myself. Now I'm not saying that I did no wrong because I was stupid back then and I did start some trouble but most of that was me trying to get people's attention because of the neglect I suffered being there. The schooling was pretty bad and the food was bad but... I did stay in shape because we were forced to exercise harder than most people. I do not know if things have changed since but it was really bad for me then and I still have issues from the trauma I experienced with the fighting and sexual abuse from people there. I would say avoid sending your child and maybe giving positive reinforcement and encouraging better behavior rather than sending your child places that could potentially do more harm than good. I hope you lovely people have an amazing day :)

I went to Hillside in March of 2019, I am now 22 and in college. When I went to Hillside I was 17 and struggling severely with depression and BPD. It was a severe suicide attempt that got me sent to Hillside. I have had several years to reflect on my experience living 2 months in treatment there... Hillside is still the worst experience I have EVER had with other people given a title of authority. They were supposed to be there to help us, but the staff members were cruel and degrading, they were not encouraging or compassionate at all. I remember how the staff used to make fun of me for crying. The dirty looks they gave me and the mean comments they would make. I was a 17 year old girl who had just recovered in the hospital from a severe suicide attempt. And all I received from this facility was hatred and contempt. For months after I returned home (in another state) I would wake up screaming from nightmares. I don't believe I have PTSD right now, but I did have short term PTSD because of Hillside. There is no compassion here, no encouragement. It is a strictly "tough love" approach that they use, which does not always work on children who have gone through extensive trauma, pain, abuse, and depression etc. Maybe Hillside would work well for a child with extreme behavioral problems?! That is the only purpose I think Hillside might be able to serve, helping a mentally ill child just released from Juvi for a violent act. But not a little 17 year old girl like me who was severely depressed and suicidal. The staff often made fun of me for crying, they talked meanly to me when there was no need to take any kind of tone and I wasn't doing anything? Maybe I didn't make my bed? Still no reason to talk in a nasty tone to a child. They degraded me. When I called my mom on the phone and told her I wanted to die because how miserable I was, the Hillside staff heard me making those statements and they took away all of my priviledges, they made me sit in silence at my assigned seat in the cottage all day. I could not leave. I had to do DBT workbooks in silence all day, could not go to the dining hall and could not talk to the other girls. They also made me do the TIP skill in a specific way every few hours. T stands for temperature and I stands for intensive exercise, P for paced breathing. A staff member would take a deck of cards and pull a card one by one, I would have to do pushups, jumping jacks, sit-ups, etcetera, for every card. And I would do this exercise on the ground in front of the staff member who was watching. It was incredibly degrading, and humiliating. I was not a prisoner in a prison, I was a 17 year old small girl who had attempted suicide because of how depressed I felt. My therapist there was cruel and mean to me my entire stay. I had to pretend to like her in order to get discharged. I have since put this experience behind me, but I am sad for anyone else who has to go through it.

My original review (^ if you scroll up from Cassidy Frye) was left in 2020, and my more in depth review (under Cassidy) is being left today August 31 2023, I am now 22 years old and in college.
