Stayed there as a 13 year old boy back in 2000 for a couple years. Long time ago, but Violence among the boys was common. Psychiatric staff tended towards their own biases. Biggest baddest kids tend to rule the roost, youngest and most vulnerable were often targets, as in, you know, the ones not from "hoods". Don't know what has changed since but if you are not confident your child is capable of physically "holding their own" they arent in for rehabilitation, they are in for abuse and furthe...

I have had good experiences all three times that my sons stayed there. The older son has to stay twice, the younger son once. They had good experiences there. I would recommend this place to anyone who needed a break from their child.

Don’t ever send your children here.. my daughter got threatened by a random girl who was angry she just arrived there, staff heard it all & placed them in rooms together after the fact the girl threatened to “kill her”. The Staff even threatened to put there hands on other girls.. my daughter ended up running away cause of how bad it was & the staff did NOTHING to try and stop her or make sure she was safe mind you there’s sexual predators who wait around there purposely knowing it’s a group ...

I went there it was very good. My two fav.. Staff were Tracy Vigliotti and Tara Wilchynski. My therapist was named Ashley Bets. As a matter of fact I still want to get a job here when I am older. They try not to let the kids have a brawl. I was at Marcy/START Cottage.

I have had a very good experience working at TCCOH. The staff is caring, teachers dedicated and all levels of the staff are invested in the success of the children and young adults. Often, time spent at TCCOH is difficult especially for those who live on campus. Yet, attention and support for learning, growing, problem solving and caring for yourself and others with compassion is the focus each and every day.

I have severe ptsd from this place. Please never send your children here. I contemplated suicide the whole time I was here. They are corrupt and mistreat the children. Please do not send your children here! They deserve better!

I was a student there back in the early 80's I was wondering do they still do the screw & nut things for the kids to make some pocket money.?
