Reviews of Parry Center For Children
"Trust the reviews on this place. I didn't. And I really regret it. I really wanted this to be a good program for my son and our family. Unfortunately it was a terrible experience. They didn't provide new skills to my son to help him manage at home better. They administered medication 2 days after I was told my child wouldn't get it. It's a shame that this place carries the same incompetence that it did when it was called Waverly Children’s home. I hope that the next caregiver to look at sending their child here takes these reviews seriously."
"This is an edited version of a letter I sent to Parry Center after my son's 90 day stay. If you are a parent considering Parry Center for your child, please read. First, I don't blame the Parry Center, or Farm Home or Trillium's care of my son directly for his death. His decision to take his life a few years later was his. But the root of his pain was not helped by either of his stays at PC or FH. He first went to psych at the end of 8th grade. It was scary and had such an institutional feel, I couldn't imagine he'd ever need or want to be back. We got him a great therapist and had a pretty decent summer. But come the start of high school, 10 days in, at just 14 years old, he was back in psych for 3 weeks. When Parry Center was mentioned as the recommended next step, it was surreal. I went to visit to see for myself. The gardens and classrooms were emphasized, and I left feeling slightly hopeful. When he got there and we started with a therapist, the comment was made that they didn't think he'd be there more than 30 days. 90 days later, the day before Christmas, he was booted out, back to Randall's on a trumped up charge of him being too violent for staff to handle because of him leaving his room one night, getting all the way past the observation booth (because no one was there), and going in to a closet, where your staff had a laptop hooked up. He played Poptropica. And when your staff realized their mistake in not manning the station and confronted him in the closet, yes, he resisted, as any kid would have. Coincidentally, his therapist, had gone on vacation that week. She was a big supporter of my son and felt there was still progress to be made with him. Her boss, did not see it that way. And the minute my son's therapist was gone, her boss pulled the plug. When I came to pick up my son's things a couple days later, I was handed a grocery bag of a few clothes. My son had been there 90 days. He'd gained 40 pounds. I was having to bring him new clothes all the time. I was given back about 1/4 of what was brought in. When I questioned the staff that there must be more, they opened a closet that was overflowing with kids things, nothing labeled, things all over the floor. They managed to "find" a few more things of his, but really acted like they had no clue where anything went. So, that's his time there as an overview. But there is so much more to say. As I said, my son gained 40 pounds in 3 months. He'd been given so many meds, I can't imagine how his 14 year old brain was affected. I visited him almost every day on my lunch hour. I would increasingly leave there crying. The child I visited was not my child. He was a drug-induced shell. You took the light away from my child. You treated him like an animal, locked him away, eventually not even a sheet on his bed. Everything was taken away from him. He was 14 years old. For God's sake, what do you think happens to a young, developing child's mind when you constantly alter it with drugs, punish them by witholding love, touch, anything that makes them happy? You end up with a child so scarred by the experience, they never can get past the pain. I wish I'd been more of an advocate for my son at Parry Center. I wish I'd pulled him out before he became the shell of his former self. I wish I'd said no, not another drug. The mental health system in Oregon is terrible, in my opinion. It's backwards. You're putting the most vulnerable with kids barely older than them as their caretakers, so that they can advance in their field. You're controlling them with drugs to make your job easier. They turn violent or fight back with the last shred of inner strength they have to fight for themselves, and they're pushed out and on to the next level of care. I have to think my son may have had a chance of I'd fought for him when he was still an innocent kid thrown into a poorly run system where he just became a statistic. Something has to change with your method of "fixing" kids. Stop drugging them before they can have a voice, a thought, a plan."
"I was admitted to this facility last year and put on the polar bear unit. I am rating this facility one star, even though I know most who read it won’t care I want the parents who will never believe their children when they say this is a horrible place to know they are not lying. I don’t have the time to write out all the problems there and I certainly doubt you have the time to read them, so I’ll try to keep this somewhat brief, If I had to provide a singular example of the flaws indicative to this facility it would be one involving my therapist whose specific name I will leave out of this, instead they will be referred to as M. As stated M was the therapist I was assigned, we didn’t talk all that much in the beginning, or really all that much at all but that’s not important, what is important is that the first time I spent a somewhat considerable amount of time talking around them was in a family therapy session which went far from ideal. The following week when I was scheduled to have family therapy I did not go, instead I decided to stay on unit and participate in I believe was a social group, I was expecting to have to talk about this but that never happened, and neither did family therapy. After that singular refusal early into my second week I was never asked about resuming family therapy again, that is, until several(4-5) weeks before I was discharged. I was told about it and decided to go, M spent the first half talking to my mom without me (this was agreed to by me and is not part of the critique, that part of the story come next) after they were done talking I was called in, the session by my own account as well as my mother’s was going perfect fine, nothing special, but certainly better than it usually would have. This continued until around halfway through the meeting (3/4 counting the individual with my mom) my counselor M was making a comment, I misread the point she was going at and interrupted her, as this point particularly disrespectful to my situation which is something she knew from previous sessions but had continued saying it anyway. Moving on, after this interruption she became visibly apoplectic (again, something my mom will agree with) and she spent the remaining ≈20min ranting about and shaming me (shaming me to an extent that is inexcusable for a therapist) and would refuse to hear an apology, rather, when I attempted to apologize she would in turn interrupt me continuing to berate be for my own interruption in quite the same was my father who is a narcissist and abuser(I say this not for sympathy but to provide context). The day after this I was approached by staff and told I was on a “treatment vacation” which was altered to the degree that it was AFG (absent from group/isolation) when I asked about a timeline I was told there was no real answer but likely 3-4 days if I do well. Of course knowing the position I was in I did very well, although there was one problem, they kept me on AFG for 2 weeks(during which I attempted Suicide via poison berry ingestion) I was told part of the reason I was kept on it for so long was that I was doing very well. After this they finally allowed me to be transferred to a rehab facility (I was awaiting transfer before this). This experience, both this specific one as well as my overarching experience have genuinely caused real harm to me, I have been hurt be people in the mental health field many times, but before this, not once has a therapist fostered a feeling of utter hopelessness in my person, my family, my environment, and, me myself have created these feelings but not a therapist. The only piece of advice I can give you if you have a child there is to pull them out and seek individual out-patient or transfer them somewhere new, it is not helping and is in fact just as bleak as I have said. I will leave you with a reminder that this is a singular event in my time there, granted a prolonged one, but I have many more like it. -past client A (06/10/20—09/09/20)"
"I was here on the polar bear unit for a few months in 2018. Having a steady routine and being away from my sh!tty home was really nice, and they have a great garden and chickens, and horses and therapy dogs come to visit sometimes. But being here is very hard. I've noticed a pattern with everyone that comes in: they get there, they're quiet and scared, they cry and have a nervous breakdown, the staff ignore and dismiss them, and then they eventually learn to do what youre told and be quiet and calm so you can get the f out one day. It's so restrictive and you can't connect with the other kids in the unit. You can't touch each other, talk, or write or anything and some of the staff clearly don't have the best interests of the kids at heart. I was able to talk privately to one of the other kids there by pretending I was doing something else but I was really talking to them. They were crying and very upset and really wanted/needed to talk to someone, but none of the staff would; they just gave her a bunch of worksheets and purposely ignored her. Since the staff member (Ellen) that was "with" us was working in the office watching us from a window, she didn't suspect a thing. the girl i talked to said later that I really helped her and helped her feel heard and cared about, so that was one of the very few positive, good things that happened to me while i was there. The night staff are very loud and rude. I did like Heidi, she was nice. D, Quinn, and Gabrielle were a-holes. Sean, Lacy, Chris, and Madison were ok."
"So I got sent here 3 years ago. I was 13 and severely depressed and my psychiatrist at the time recommended this place because she worked here. Without any other option, my mom put her trust into the staff and program. I came here feeling good about it and being excited to finally get help. I dont even know where to start. The amount of abuse the clients endure here and the lack of any care disgusts me. I’m 17 now and I’ve had to do trauma work about this place just to stop flashbacks of the horrific things that happened here. The staff don’t care about the well being of your children and they abuse their power every chance they get. I’m not going to go into my experience but it’s very alike to all the abuse the other reviews are talking about. PLEASE do not send your children here. Do more research and trust your gut. This place is horrible and I dont wish their treatment on anybody."
