Prakash Ellenhorn

I would move mountains to be able to have a family member cared for by the people and program at Prakash Ellenhorn.
The staff at Prakash Ellenhorn are highly professional. They are also exceptionally caring. Our family credits them with turning around the life of our beloved son, leading him out of the abyss of mental illness.
The program is carefully and individually thought out. The focus is towards integrating each person back into a social setting in which he or she can be comfortable.
Prakash Ellenhorn is not just a place to hang out. There is work to be done each day… work geared to making you believe that you can make it back. The effort is enormous for some. It works because everyone at P&E are pulling for you.
We are also very grateful for the sensitive way the therapists have included our whole family in the therapy. This has helped our son’s recovery enormously.

I would not recommend this place. It’s not worth the price. Believe me it is pricey. A lot of the staff will feel like overbearing parents. It’s set up, so they treat us like children. I get the feeling that, these people are more given instructions, like operating a machine than dealing with people. I’m not sure they’re given extensive training, screened, or require much qualification.
Some can be cool to hang around with, even seems more like friends than staff. Some are just awkward though. Even, worse, some act like they’re the law or something. You have to tell them where your going, and, have your phone, so they can check in. They check in excessively too. Many teens aren’t on such short a leash, let alone adults. I went out with my friend for the day, said I’d be a while. They even packed meds for later. I didn’t tell them, but I figured if they call they ‘d leave a message like they usually do.
I get back, well before curfew, and they’ve already called my parent… And the police. Thankfully he, was a cool guy, very polite, kind, and professional. He just asked if I was, safe and stuff. He showed great patience, considering the nonsense he was called over for. I have much respect.
There’s more with such a fascist system, you would think they would get the important stuff down like meds. The nurses, have messed up my dose many times, and bear in mind they come ever day, with only 24 hours worth. I’m on them all the time, and sometimes my reminder fall on deaf ears, and it’s too late, and that’s it I skip a dose. Yet, they’re such busy bodies of who’s where, and doing what. They randomly, and frequently search rooms, with out suspicion of illegal, or dangerous possessions.
I have a tough situation here. It’s supposed to be voluntary, but don’t have a place to go. It was pretty rough at home, and my parents had no patience. Now they think they’re doing me right by sending me here. often, sleep, or smoke cigarettes all day long. This place doesn’t help. Plus my parents, are confused themselves. They never knew what to do with me. They so desperate, to buy into this, and clueless, what to look for.
As far as the founders, I don’t see them as much, as others. However, Dr. Prakash is narrow minded, and is disrespectful, to opposing views, and honest questions. I had a bad experience with physiology, and have legitimate concerns. Dr. Ellenhorn is much more open minded, and sensitive to me. He listens, and doesn’t assume, and push an agenda. He seems to get people better than her, who treats people like textbooks. However most decisions are made by people under them. You have your own team, and their «individual» care can suck. It’s not personalized for me at all. It’s just a pain.
It’s so complex. I know I wrote a lot, but write any question in the comment. I’m sure others who went hear would be happy to answer, as well. Also message me if you feel like it.

My experience with these people was nothing less than horrible. The two owners Dr. Prakash and Ross Ellenhorn were dishonest and incompetent in my opinion. I believe they are greedy and disingenuous and both have a real problem considering anything to be true other than what THEY think is fact. Their «holier than thou» attitude resulted in my relative getting much more ill while depleting my bank account at the same time. They also take no responsibility for anything that results in a bad outcome. The only nice thing I can say is that some of their employees are very kind.
