"I'll like not to go."
"MY SON IS A GOOD GODLY PERSON HE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE IN LIFE. HE HAS NEVER HURTED NOBODY. MAY GOD TOUCH EACH AND EVERYONE HEART TO SEE THAT HE IS A GOOD PERSON. ALSO MS. CHASSITY IS A WONDERFUL PERSON WITH A GREAT ATTITUDE. APRIL 20,2021"
"My friend has been there a few years and is doing awesome, he is in right state of mind, behavior great and when ask questions he is ignored or in staffing staff will say they take care of whatever and never do. Just a few months ago they said they were having staffing and canceled many times. He is rehabilitated but staff for some reason doesn’t want him to have a second chance. Family and friends visit often he has so much support and positive energy from everyone. I don’t know if they just want him to stay and end up lost there or what. ELMHS is not reporting how well this guy is doing. It’s just very upsetting that after awhile these patients just have no hope almost like they want no one rehabilitated. He’s a hard worker and wants so much to be with his family and friends and start a new chapter. ELMHS has complimented how well he’s doing and how great his behavior is but will not report it. Doesn’t everyone deserve that second chance."
