Hi, can anyone who’s already been give more info?
I know this just opened up so I’m just posting in hopes I can find out more about it. Very hesitant to go there given how new it is. If anyone ever has feedback about it especially surround neurodivergent affirming care & accommodations along with what the room & bathroom situation is like.
6 Shared bedrooms and 1 shared co-ed bathroom. The other patients will certainly be neurodivergent friendly, the team members are too, floor staff has room to grow. Some transition time built into the day in between groups and meals/snacks, definitely best for night owls, very flexible and much different meal plan system, some movement is allowed and encouraged if it helps you regulate, yoga 2x a week, walking 1x a week if approved.
Thank you so much! Is there anything you didn’t/don’t like? Is there anything you really like and don’t think you could find at any other res program? It being so new worries me.
Thank you for the information! Is it in the same floor as the general emily program eating disorder inpatient/residential treatment? What is the policy on electronics/using you phone?
