I just completed my TMS treatment and I feel incredible. It's not ideal having to go in 5 days/week but Davina makes it enjoyable! She knows if I need to vent, cry, a hug, or to be left in silence to meditate. Dr. Hill is a breath of fresh air. He's been super helpful in getting a handle on my mental health, managing my meds (which is so important for me) and overseeing my TMS treatment journey. He's also super personable and just a fucking stand up dude. I cannot give higher praises to my psychiatric team at NWS. I've also referred multiple friends here who are currently on their TMS journeys as well! They all love this team as well. 20/10 would recommend!!

The reason I am giving sanctuary treatment center a one star rating is due to the emotional…read moredistress that was caused by "chef" Lydia. During my time here, I had three interactions with Lydia that were hostile, passive aggressive, confrontational and flat out mean. This morning, when I went to take out the blender from the kitchen that she uses to cook, so I could make breakfast for me and my peers, and she kicked/slammed the cabinet door with her foot to close the cabinet door shut in an attempt to show her dissatisfaction that I was borrowing the blender. After she kicked the cabinet door shut, I calmly expressed to Lydia that I was going to close it but I had my hands full with the blender. Then I mention that it wasn't her kitchen to get possessive over, and her response was "really, it's not my kitchen?". My response to her was no it was not her kitchen. It's a communal kitchen. My hope is that upper management and leadership can review the video footage from this morning to prove that I was not aggressive or rude towards her this morning. Last night, Lydia also locked up the Ziploc bags to prevent me from using them, and she also locked up the spices despite of me, returning the spices back to its original location in the kitchen that she uses. I have shown time and time again that every time I prepare a meal, I always wash the pods the pans and the dishes and utensils. I used to make my meals. Lydia does not have the kindness, professionalism, and empathy to interact or be nearby patients. She does not treat the patients with the respect that we deserve. What's alarming is that I am not the only patient that Lydia has had unpleasant interactions with. I don't feel she is fit to work in a facility where patients are working towards getting their emotional, mental, and physical health back into shape. Another aspect that was disappointing from my stay at sanctuary, is the cleaning. I have requested my bathtub to be cleaned and not once has it been clean. The first time I attempted to take a shower there was orange slime, or some other kind of fluid, I don't know what it was, but it looked gross. I asked support from the staff, and I ended up cleaning the bathtub myself, which I don't mind cleaning up after myself but I hadn't ever used that bathtub, but the list in the bathroom where it states the bathroom was clean has dates on them and signatures that do not reflect the bathroom actually being cleaned. When the cleaning person sweeps the stairs, she kicks up all sorts of dirt and dust while we're in the room inhaling all of that dirt and dust, I feel that a vacuum would be better suited to clean up the stairs opposed to using a broom and spreading all that dirt and dust while we're in the same room, inhaling it. It was also frustrating to witness some of the staff members serving themselves food first before the clients had the opportunity to eat. A courtesy notification that lunch and dinner was ready would have been appreciated. I expressed this concern two times during my time here. As far as, Anthony, the house manager, I am super grateful for his attempts to make my stay here comfortable. Anthony always made an effort to make sure I had what I needed and that I was comfortable. The other staff members that I deeply appreciate are Yaz, Jason, Jordan, my case manager, Jessica and my therapist, Denise. I want to make it clear that the house manager takes his job seriously and I see his efforts in running the best program for patients that he can. The last thing I will say, is that I wish we had a daily schedule of the times we are meant to meet with our counselor, therapist, and case manager. That structure would be extremely helpful to help us once we go back into the real world. I am appreciative of the staff here who was kind, who was respectful, and who listened when we were in distress.

I felt so comfortable with them. Luda the nurse always had my meds available and worked overtime to help find them if needed.. Most importantly the techs are incredible.  They were always around for me.  They listened and shared their story which was great because I felt they really understood what I was going thru. I could tell they really cared .  The chef was amazing.   The house at Altus was beautiful. It had everything I needed.  They offered yoga,massage, kickboxing and more. There isn't any other place like Altus.  I highly recommend  them. They gave me a wonderful start in my recovery.

Stay far away from here!! A lot of illegal activities going on here! There were clients using drugs in the home and even the staff was nodding off during their shifts. Like what kind of a place are you running here? Toxic!

**Review of Rehabilitation Facility: Urgent Concerns**…read more I strongly advise caution regarding this facility due to its unethical and unsafe environment.

Ascend changed our lives- my son's life. Our family is beyond blessed. If you are looking for the…read morebest treatment for your child, you will not find ANYTHING better than Ascend. Truly. Below is my letter to the Ascend team. Effie, It is not a mystery that you have an incredible team at Ascend. I could not be more grateful than I am. When Grant went into Ascend the first time, he was in a very dark place- his energy was heavy so much that it weighed not only him down, it weighed down those around him. He didn't believe in himself, nor anyone or anything else. The Grant who came out of treatment was as light as a feather. He was childlike again and it was the most beautiful thing I have truly ever seen. It was as though a miracle had occurred. And it did. I truly believe that it would not have happened without the incredible team you have and primarily, I owe it to Cynthia and Noah. Cynthia was an angel for my Grant. She was loving and nurturing; able to hold him accountable while providing him with truths that he was not able or willing to see prior to treatment. She did it in a manner in which he didn't become combative or hostile. She gave him a freedom from himself and helped to remove that weight he walked in the doors of Ascend with. And she put up with my lengthy, random, overly detailed, and overly explained emails. That in itself deserves an award. J And then there was Noah... From the very moment I met him, I felt assured beyond what any parent could possibly feel. His words and his positivity took any fears I had and threw them to the curb. I drove up that first day, heavy with concern and pain, to bring Grant his belongings. When I left, I flew down the 405 with the biggest smile and the greatest sense of calm than I'd had in nearly two years. In speaking with a dear friend, I was describing the means in which Noah affects the lives of those around him so profoundly. I would like to add that I speak of him to many because he has touched my life and Grant's life so profoundly. What he has done for Grant is unparalleled. As I spoke with this friend, an analogy came to me, bringing tears to my eyes and I felt compelled to elaborate and share it with you. Noah is a gift to the world. What he does and what he gives posses so much beauty. A beauty that cannot be taught. It is innate. And beauty breeds beauty. Noah's gift is like a piece of art or a piece of music; a favorite song. When I think about the way that da Vinci's Mona Lisa or Van Gogh's Starry Night or even Shepard Fairey's work (for me it's Gustav Klimt's The Kiss, Dali, and Fairey) have transcended generations and the manner in which they provoke emotion and perspective; awe and inspiration; the way they precipitate and propel change... and when I think of the way that I feel and the way my body and soul respond when I hear Michael Jackson's Off the Wall, The Beatles' Let it Be, The Stones' Paint it Black, Beethoven's Piano Sonata #14, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's The Message, Adele's Hello, Johnny Cash's Boy Named Sue... the list goes on. The art; the music. It changes us. It permeates our being. And where would we be without these gifts? THIS. This is what Noah does for others. This is the gift that he gives. And he doesn't even have to try. It's just who he is... It would be unjust if I did not mention the impact that the rest of the team had on our lives. They are a godsend.. From the moment I heard your voice on the other end of the phone, trying to give me all of the information regarding Ascend while simultaneously caring for your seven children at 8:30 at night, my heart was stolen and I knew that this is exactly where Grant needed to be. And then I met Alicia over the phone. What an amazing woman! I tear up simply talking about her. She is a keeper... My brief conversations with Dr. Acosta communicated to me that she is a compassionate and trustworthy person. The kiddos are blessed to have her on their team. Brittany is kind, thorough, and direct. As someone who always has more questions, I did not find that I needed to seek additional information. She is a great asset to the team, as you know. Grant really connected with Alex. Connections for Grant are priceless. I'm grateful for that. I thank each and every staff member at Ascend for all that they do and for the parts of them that they give away each day so that these beautiful children can have a life beyond their wildest dreams- whether that life be years away or simply around the corner. Thank you to you and your team for planting the seeds that you do and for changing and saving the lives of these precious kiddos. Especially my Grant. Blessings. Julie Olson

If I could give Ascend 3.5 stars I would…read more I was referred to this Residential Care Mental Health Home, called Magnolia House since my daughter who has high functioning ASD and was suffering from anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and suicidal ideations. It was all coming at once and we latched onto Ascend Healthcare seeking answers, and a change for our daughter -- to pull her up and help her thrive again. What we initially got was charged A LOT Theres a "wellness fee" they charge on top of insurance, it's not in their contract, but it's about an additional $4500 a month. I was stunned to pay this once and requested to pay again after my daughter had been in treatment a month here. Besides this, the care my daughter received I believe was extra ordinary. Damilola Adefeso Psychiatric Mental Health, Nurse Practitioner worked greatly with my daughter. He kept us in the loop and described what she was going through in language we could understand. Also, her Therapist, Alexandra Rodriguez took time to work closely with my daughter. My daughter followed a good schedule here, and had outings. She stayed for a little over two months, and came home rested and loaded with new skills to combat the anxiety as well as new medications which seemed to improve her mood and look on life. I will say they the packing list was a bit monotonous yet they never used much of the items we had packed for our daughter. Once we got very scared because our daughter was unreachable for about 24 hours, as was Ascend. My husband and I worried something happened. We later got word that three was internet and phone problem and no one could call outside or be called. I found this excuse to be dumb because you'd they'd have a good old fashioned copper wire phone line that didn't exist on internet. They should definitely have a plan for this. This is mainly why I can't give Ascend more than 3.5 stars.

For someone with such experience and expertise, she's extremely down-to-earth and approachable. I came to Dr. Vause at a time of change in my life (at work, with family, and in my relationships), and my stress was surging. My depression and anxiety levels were becoming hard to manage, and I was turning to drugs and alcohol to cope. Dr. Vause helped me get through it. In addition to counseling, she guided me through some challenging but needed adjustments to my medication regimen. Every med suggestion was explained clearly, Dr. Vause answered all of my questions, and I knew what to expect in terms of effects and side-effects. I never felt as if pills were just being pushed my way; she really wanted me to participate in my own treatment and understand her reasoning. In addition to the excellent medication recommendations and adjustments, she is a wonderful therapist. Since seeing her, I have felt much better, and have experienced real improvements in my life. Her combination of innate sensitivity, compassion, and deep medical expertise is quite rare. I feel completely comfortable and secure in this relationship, and am fortunate to have found this exceptional doctor. I know I am cared for as a whole person, not just a bundle of problems, and there's nothing I hesitate to talk to Dr. Vause about. Having her in my life is itself therapeutic and a source of strength for me. Thank you Dr. Vause!
