There a few moments that I consider the worst parts of my life so far, but my week long stay at Pomegranate will most likely be #1. After a failed suicide attempt I was given absolutely no choice but to go to Pomegranate, and so many factors had made it a living hell.
Anyway, a memory that is not soon to leave my mind is of my roommate being bullied by two girls she was playing basketball with, and then going over to the brick wall and slamming her forehead into it with a sickening, dull pound. Now, what would you have expected the guards to do? Certainly not ignore the situation! But that is exactly what I witnessed that day.
There are MANY other things that make me sick to think of with Pomegranate, but I'll end here. Please don't ever allow your children or yourself to be admitted to this facility, no matter what it takes. Don't do it.
Secondly, there are not many things that fill the day other than coloring on pages that have previously been colored on by former patients. This is followed later by gym time, and may I also mention that we were only allowed into a small prison-like yard at least twice in my 5 day "sentence"?
My Thespist was so cool and easy to talk to and even on Sunday when she wasn't at work, another therapist saw me which was nice.
I was there for 7 days and by the end of it I felt safe and able to deal with what I'm feeling inside.. you're not alone and at pomegranate you don't have to be.
My daughter is currently in Acute care at Pomegranate. She was was admitted on 08/30. We have had nothing but a positive experience. The intake staff was so kind and truly welcomed her and put her at ease. Every single staff member we have interacted with has been extremely nice and understanding. My hope is that we never have to do this again. But if we should have to, this will be the first place I request. She is well taken care of, has multiple therapies a day and plenty to keep her busy. She has told me stories of the staff being mistreated and that makes me sad. They're wonderful.
someone close to me went here. staff was bad. treated patients awful. this is a prison not a hospital stay away at all costs
I went to the acute side of pomergrante twice, both times I was freezing, girls fought over boys non-stop. The staff treated me horribly (Except for a few) and didn't care for my mental help. They gave me meds I am allergic too and had to be forced by my aunt (Who by the way accused me of being homicidal) to change my medications. By the time I left I was still suicidal and ended up coming back three months later. The same thing happened, I ended up taking more meds because I had a slight freak out. My "Therapist" didn't help but claimed I had " PTSD, ADHD. bi-polar, DID, borderline personality disorder, ODD, and CD. I left within five days, I didn't come back for a year, and when I got there they put me on CELSO (all girls unit, holds 20 girls.) I stayed on CELSO for about four months then was moved to KENNEDY (spelt that wrong.) For the rest of my stay, I wasn't able to go outside into the courtyard or go for walks the entire time I stayed there. I ended up behind in credits for highschool because they don't give you any school credits. Now I am currently busting my arse to get my 10th grade credits and my 11th grade credits at the same time. I fought on KENNEDY everyday I got there (KENNEDY is supossed to be the calmer unit, so they put preggo girls there.) Girls would gossip non-stop then lie to your face about it. Overall all my times being in "The Poms" (something the residents call pomergrante) It was horrible. NEVER and I mean NEVER make this your first choice. You're not allowed to have shoes, anything with a zipper, pens, pencils, anything with laces and your door must be fully open at all times. The wash stuff they give you is horrible, very small amounts of everything (no conditioner btw.) The clothing the provide for you (If you don't have your own) are worn out and most of the time don't protect you from the cold. The showers had a button you had to press every 15 seconds. I hated it here, I think this place should be shut down. It's just like Foxrun both are horrible in all types of ways.
First of all, the second day I was there I had started my menstrual cycle and asked multiple times for some pain killers because the cramps were unbearable, but I recived much less than an answer and was forced to suffer through 5 days of cramps.
I was just discharged from acute unit and I'm reading the reviews and I don't understand. Kids would often say it's terrible at first and so did I.. because I didn't want to face the fact I needed help. I was embarrassed. But by the end of the stay I feel like this place saved my life. I found coping skills and ways to help me when I'm triggered instead of self harming and automatically thinking suicide will fix problem. The staff talked to me about my issues.. they didn't baby me but they were not mean to me at all. They helped me a lot. And I also had a headache and didn't get Tylenol right away.. but the nurse told me she had to get permission from my parents to give me anything even if it was just Tylenol. After she talked to them she got it for me.
