Creedmoor Psychiatric Center 79-25 Winchester Boulevard, Queens, NY 11427

"From ages 12-15, I worked here. Mrs. Davis, a very sweet lady, was our supervisor. First, I worked the radio for campus security. Second, with the carpenter shop. And finally, in the Hematology lab (where I first saw an autopsy - while eating lunch!). Now, it is still, partially in use. I could barely recognize it! The plants and rust have overtaken the beautiful buildings I recall. Some new (public??) housing surrounds the campus now."

"Ruining our community. They let their patients out and they terrorize the kids at ps18 Park and I'm talking about toddlers! Today one of the patients was at burlington dept. Store opening car doors and taunting people. Disgusting No one does anything! You can call police no one does anything."

"I did not even visit this facility and can safely say that I would not do so were I paid. I called to request information about the inpatient facility. The operator connected me and the woman who answered was honestly one of the rudest women I have ever spoken with who works in psychiatry. I was already emotional, but she answered the phone with "what, who is this?" with a ton of noise in the background. I explained my situation and began to tear up because of how over whelming the noise and her attitude were, and she said "you can find information on the internet. I'm going to drop the phone now" and hung up on me. If that is the way they only handle a five second phone call, I can't imagine being a patient here. Disgusting conduct."

"I know it's the first day and people are excited to vote but the Covid-19 Safety Guidelines should still apply. Not everyone is wearing mask properly and No Social Distancing is being enforced! It's even more crowded inside the voting area. So if you are like me and don't want people in your space and want to feel safe while voting, go during the week. Less People means Safer Environment."

"I visited a friend here yesterday and it went well. There is lots of parking. The security staff is thorough and kind. You have to lock up your belongings, right next to the security station, it's not a big deal. You get a name tag with your picture on it, go up on an elevator to the ward. There you ring a bell and a staff member opens the door and takes you to the lounge to wait for your friend or family member. There were others in the lounge visiting and sharing a meal. The staff person who had me sign in as a visitor was lovely. Probably like many New Yorker's who pass this building often, I was nervous about visiting. But it was really fine, quite clean and well tended, staff helpful and nice, and you can imagine my friend was very happy for the company."
