I was at Cumberland hospital for 5 months for a TBI and some emotional issues that came out of that . Then the doctors say I havent gotten better but theres nothing more they can do so they send me to Harbor Point. I was there for 4 months after the first couple days the other kids threatened and harassed me and they also steal things . The primary crowed at this place is court ordered residents , so basically they are criminals . Know I had little to do with my mental health issues other than trying to go to my school to see a show . I was on that drive I had my TBI,and the roads were just slipy . I remember getting beat up several times and they dont allow you to shut the door to your room so at night the other residents could come in and beat you up . I also remember one time the residents formed a gang on the inside and organized a riot during a talent show staff got beat up other resident got hurt other residents had to help restrain the problem residents . After that the punishments that the residents received got redused from what i heard . Also the food all tasted the same its like they had one spice and they put it in everything . Ok now school Mr Ivy was out a lot and Mr shinder was the only one that was there but he moved on and Mrs Favor didnt care . The PE teacher cared but I think he was a little to touchy feely. He also wanted to recruit you to his church . In addition you better hope you dont have to go to the dentist I had to get my wisdom teeth removed and they rushed me in the nurse put me to sleep and I woke up didnt see the doctor and they rushed me out . in addition I didnt get a follow up appointment . The bathrooms were clean compared to Cumberland but I was on unit A I cant speak for the other units . I also know residents snuck in smokes and smoke in the shower . Mr Daralin was cool and fair ,Mr Sheldon was the best though . The treatment teams are short and the doctor is very touch and go . He is also not interested in more work than is required . When you get discharged they just shove you out the door . Mrs Megan was my therapist and she was cool she was also new so . I would say this is like a cushy detention center . I also remember that super bowl night the other residents went off and that one staff went off and said "I and taking off the Harbor Point gloves " and started to beat up one of the residents in the residents room , as far as I know the staff quite and no charges were filed . The work program was also a joke as all you had to do was show up get your time card signed and not do any work . you got to get out of doing school work though . I think the only thing that was good was they gave you candy and soda through the point store every other week ,kinda like a commissar . O the TV stopped working because they were too cheap to get cable boxes . All the door are locked so like you have to go through like six doors just to go to dinner ,and like ten to go to school . I was personally targeted by another resident who had been there for like two years . This happened about three weeks before I was discharged and in those weeks he would say stuff to me to get me to go off and he would slap and push me when others werent looking . Then he tried to say I said stuff to him when I ignored him . But like the last week I was there he tried to attack me like 3 or 4 times to the point where I asked to speak to a police officer and my parents got involved .I almost forgot the first 2 weeks I was there the nurses gave me a higher dose than was written . When I had my wisdom teeth removed the doctor wrote me a script of double the vicadin then the dentist wrote down . I wasnt complaining I was high as a kite . I almost forgot when you are on the phoneme of the other residents think it is funny to pull the cord out of the wall so you would get disconnected . Thats it Harbor Point consider yourselfs exposed and I will testify in court to .

I am begging you not to send your child to Harbor Point. It turned out to be one of the worst experiences that ever happened to our family. My 8 year old son came home 95% worse than when he was admitted. He was sent there to try and get his behavior under control. He was there 7 months and I finally decided to pull him out for his own good. He is now using profanity, when he didnt know what it was before he went in. The psychiatrist was terrible. I know my child better than anyone else, yet the so called professional would not listen or answer any of my questions. My son was physically hurt several times, resulting in stitches, a broken bone, and a hit to the head by a baseball bat. I would like to know where the staff was when all this was happening. Also, he went in as a straight "A" student and came out hardly knowing how to write his name. This facility deserves no stars. The only saving grace was the therapist, who tried to make sure she touched base with me every week. I had to beg in order to receive any kind of progress report on my son. I drove 3 hours and the treatment team meeting would last less than 15 minutes. When I ask for more time, I was told that they had another meeting scheduled. My son and his future are way more important than 15 minutes. Now, I have to try and undue the damage that was done to my son. Dont make the same mistake by putting your child in this facility.

Horrible experience. My son was constantly bullied by peers, I was rarely able to get through to speak with him on his "phone days" (when the call did go through, they always transferred me to the wrong unit). The unit staff is always on their phones playing games or scrolling Facebook. When my husband and I would notice changes in our sons behavior, the staff was surprised as though they didnt know. They are the ones with the children 24/7 so they should be aware of everything, its completely the opposite though. Over half of the time they dont check for identification, I had family members visit (the staff had not seen before) and they were never IDd. I would not recommend this facility to anyone, they are not professional at all and the whole experience was horrible.

I have not had services here, but I have applied for a position and was told a total of 6 times that Id be called back at a certain time to discuss the position, and I havent been ONCE. I had to call this person 4 times and each time, I was told that Id be contacted the next day. This is HIGHLY unprofessional and would love the opportunity to speak with a hiring manager or supervisor above the person that Ive spoken to. I no longer have any interest in contributing my skills and services to a company who cannot keep such an obligation to a prospective employee. Stay as far away as you can if youre looking for professionalism. You wont find it here.
