They literally have dangerous conditions for the residents. If you take someone here you should expect for them to be neglected, hurt and potentially worse.

Terrible management and dangerous conditions. I could not leave fast enough. Please do yourself a favor and find a better care facility

Clearbrook Needs To Have A Mentoring Program For Adult With Disabilities

I’ve “worked” at the Child and Family Department (Early Intervention) about 3-4 years ago. While I was training, my “trainer” told a family that speech delays were due to genetics, in addition to telling them that she was suspecting autism. I brought this issue up to Kristen, my supervisor at the time. Flew right over her head. A week ago, I ended up coming across a family who had just completed their intake with a service coordinator. The family told me that the service coordinator also gave them false information about child development, not knowing that they (the parents) - one is a pediatrician while the other is a BCBA. Trust your evaluators. Not your service coordinator if you ever want to receive early intervention from this place. 95% of the service coordinators hired do not have anything higher than a bachelors degree in psychology, nor are their degree in child development or behavioral health.

If you have a loved one in a program that Dave Boggs runs… GET OUT!!!! He is pure awful to deal with. From an outsider looking in I’ve also seen the way he treats staff I would not want my loved one in a program with him. We learn the hard way. I felt bad for all staff in that house as well for putting up with him. Run!!! Personal belongings get misplaced which is very disheartening putting my loved one into a house or a program they better get the best care. I would check into other possible places to put your loved one in and get far away from Clearbrook as you can. Even if this was the last place available I would not recommend

I would never ever put a loved one in this nonprofit program. Management of household and day programs are very hard to get a hold of and they do not accommodate at all individual needs. I don't know if it's because of lack of funding but I would not trust that with my loved. There was a few times my loved one had escaped the programs. They do not keep an eye out on them. When we went to visit some day programs a lot of individuals were sitting there reading outdated magazines and weren't engaged in much. It was like a big industrial building with a bunch of people in it just sitting there. I would look around for other places to go to I do not recommend them. They were times were my love one also sat in a dirty diaper for hours and was not changed. My heart broke.

After visiting their administrative offices with my developmentally disabled brother in tow, first thing I noticed was an all white administrative staff and the ladies evaluating my brother seemed way more interested in judging me, hardly paying any attention to their potential client, my 68 year old brother, so much so that it made me extremely uncomfortable. Was sent there by ISSA representative at CAU because Clearbrook had listed openings but during the interview suddenly told there were no more openings. Lots of stone cold staring from the one woman. Anyway, aferwards, read some of these reviews, so it probably would not have been a good fit.

I unfortunately cannot give half a star. I was a service coordinator in the Child and Family Connections Department (Early Interventions) for about a year in Downtown. I relocated after a year. As a result, I came to Clearbrook for the same position. I unfortunately had to go through all the trainings, which took 3 months despite the fact that I was a SC for a year with a caseload over 100. Within my 3 months training, I began to noticed how toxic this environment is. I regret for not getting out of there on my own. Where do I begin?! Well...1.) My "trainer," Kayleigh told my supervisor, Kristen, that I "undermined" her. Well, if you're going to tell a family that the reason for their child's speech delay is due to genetics, the ethical thing for me to do is to correct her. I have my masters in clinical mental health, whereas she went to school for accounting. 2.) After a month of training, Kristen switched me to another "trainer," which was fine. However, when I asked for a reason, she told me there was a "personality mismatch." This left me confused. 3.) "Trainers" were never trained to become a trainer. Their title is based on seniority. 4.) Kristin never observed me doing an intake with families. Indeed, she asked once if I'd like to do one with a family, to which I've said in exact words, "I'd like to see you do one more." Somehow, that translated to I'm not competent enough and I don't make initiatives. As a supervisor, you give commands. If you fail to do that and give options instead, please step down. You're not competent enough to be a supervisor, actually. 5.) Towards the end of my training, I approached Kristen because i was just confused with everything. She said she had been too. As a supervisor, it was her job to approach me to clarify any misunderstandings she had with me. Never did that happened. Yet, she told me that I did not know how to communicate with her. 6.) Kristen approached me again and told me she heard a rumor about me. Grow up, Kristen. You're an adult AND a supervisor. If you have the audacity to say the word "rumor," I'd assume you know the definition of it. Obviously not since there was a conversation about it. 7.) I got in "trouble" for taking supplies from the office supplies drawer because supplies were by seniority. What is this? Petty high schoolers?? 8.)I've recently discovered that service coordinators are telling families that medicaids do not cover ABA therapy, and all ABA therapies are paid out of pocket. That is the farthest thing from the truth as I am currently an ABA Therapist at a company that accepts medicaids. As a conclusion, I "didn't make it through my probation" because of reasons 1-8. The director, Jason, sat there and heard these "reasons" given by Kristen as to why I was not a "good fit." As a director, do you have no brain? None of these even make sense. I took a paycut to be a SC at Clearbrook. I have my M.A. in mental health and going to school for behavioral health. Obviously, "Letting me go" isn't the issue. It's the immature "reasons" given to me as to why I wasn't a good fit. I wanted to serve families at a professional environment, not a high school. All in all, the Department of CFC has horrible management - actually no management at all. From the outside, there might be good impressions. It's only when you become a staff that you'll see the true colors.
