I lived in north LA for most of my life, and the city just never got hit while I was living there. I've been in Utah for the last several years and they're uncommon there.

I'm in town visiting my grandmother. I've never had to shelter for a tornado before, and it hit her neighborhood. Ripped her back porch apart and smashed my rental, but we made it out okay.

I meant now, but the facility would have had barriers to implementation, because typically providers don't support suicide.

There's a lot of understandable controversy over euthanasia for mental illness. I wonder why she went this route instead of just killing herself?

Gave me a giggle, thanks

The article I read said that they were used to driving over the road when the creek flooded. They made a habit of making poor choices and unfortunately, they're paying for it.

Combining physical and mental health treatment! What a novel concept!

Yes, my post history full of... what, exactly?

Why am I not shocked that someone with no reading comprehension is creeping through my profile.

I completely agree, which is why I've been railing against a different PRTF for a few weeks now and advocating for it to get shut down. Not online; in my real job at a real PRTF where it actually matters.

You can't tell me where I'm defending the RTC, because at no point have I done so. You're so blinded by your desire to be right that you can't even read right now. Take a step back.

LOL. I'm an RTC employee commenting on an article about a JC-accredited RTC, but I'm the one who doesn't know what they're talking about. You're just arguing to argue.

Salsa Ears actually is really unwell, hence his placement at this facility. He has psychosis and frequent aggression, but therapy and medications are helping. He just doesn't have a brain bleed. I'm sorry if something I said triggered you, because I fully recognize how terrible some of these places are. I am acutely aware of the abuses that can occur to these children. I'm just not willing to throw judgment on this facility with such little information.

Please tell me at what point I said anything worth arguing over. All I said was that I was not willing to have an opinion on this without more information.

Edit: According to its website, Diamond Ranch Academy is accredited by the Joint Commission. I do wonder how recently CMS has come by for an audit.

I mean, I work in a PRTF. My favorite story from this last week was the patient who shoved salsa in his ears trying to trick the nurse into thinking it was blood so he could go to the hospital. I'm familiar with the issues often found in residential facilities.

No opinion until a cause of death can be determined.
