Lack of Mental Health Services and Condescending Staff
Meighan Dacey gave the facility a 1-star rating, expressing disappointment with the lack of mental health services. According to her, there are no mental health professionals working or volunteering at the facility, which is concerning. The staff was perceived as condescending, and there seemed to be little to do. Furthermore, it was noted that there were no individuals with mental health issues working there, which could have set a positive example.
