My name is Lawrence Truillo I lived at hillside in the awosko unit from 2003 into 2004 and I have so many good memories there I was there when they had the best staff team mr.rase mr.satana Mr. Mackey tall mr.willson and the short Mr.willson and mr.pool ms.mairite and mr.razinco I wish I could go back in time and relive those memories.

There was alot of supportive staff and nice kids there.I got a job and learned to do independent things.I even got a phone .

Im going to respectfully agree and disagree with joe m. I worked at this facility for 2.5 years and, although it us true that administration and clinical have no respect for the staff there, i would wholly disagree that you get beat up. You are told in training that assault may happen there, its part of the job as well as getting spit on, and i have never experienced a fellow staff laughing at you when that happens. The reality is this place is a horrible place to work for far worse reasons that youd have to work there longer than 3 months to notice. The cause of the issues here go deep and right up to the top and would take a very long time to explain; in short, NEVER WORK HERE.

I was a client there from 2003 til 2005 i was there when the best staff were there Mr simmons mr jackson mr collins RIP Mooch Mr mallon Ciras Ms ball Mr race Mr wilson ( Noonie) just to rattle off a few names lol but it was very pleasant while i was there and staff were very respectful things must of changed and good staff must a left but this place used to be very good

When I was a resident there in the 90s locked us in the school wing all the time abuse leave us in there at night wt the light off still suffering trauma from that today from all the physical and mental abuse I suffered from being in that facility as a child do not send your kid there

This place is probably one of the worst place to work its run by incontinent and mature people that have no respect for the staff are the children there you get beat up you get bit you get spayed on and no one has your back and then they laugh at you when I happens to you so if you enjoy being ridiculed and beat up this is the job for you maybe somebody should look into the staff in the management of this placeand figure out why its so messed up but yet our tax dollars go to support it
