I'm ashamed of this facility. Many employees and board members need to be removed. They have no pediatricians on staff. Actually, they don't use a pediatrician at all. Also, good luck talking with the psychiatrist about your child's medicine regime. The units smell of urine and are filthy. They left my child just as filthy. My child would come to me with with one hygenic issue or another. The most recent was an underwear full of feces. This was recent and is a reoccurring issue. They are extremely understaffed to the point where they are not in compliance with ratio standards, leaving every child at risk. If it were up to me, I would remove them from any, and every Board of Education approved list. You need to be deserving to be on that list, but you also have to stay deserving, and they have not. This is a "cash for care" business. If you advocate for your child, you become a liability, and they will discharge your child out without cause in some cases. They are afraid of the consequences of their actions. In turn, they remove children to avoid potential future conflicts. Long story short, please due your due diligence on this place. My entire team had seen it, so hopefully you won't have to. To anyone affected by Lakemary's conduct, continue to be brave, in the face of cowardice.

I recommend like my recent for anyone who has autism, they really helped me. Other treatment sooner and was really carrying like lake Mary. I recommend it for parents who have autistic children.

Check your child when they come home from Lakemary. My child had fingerprints and hand prints on her arms. They are allowing non certified staff to perform safty holds that BY LAW, REQUIRE CERTIFICATIONS!!!! My daughter came home upset everyday. It's no wonder why. And the amount of ESIs that they are doing is beyond rediculous!! If they were educated and trained like they are supposed to be, they would know how to deescelate and redirect. But instead they are mean people that pick on the kids. Shame on them!
