Reviewers frequently praised the caring and helpful nature of the staff and counselors, finding the treatment effective for those willing to participate. However, some criticized the lack of supervision regarding interactions between patients of the opposite sex, which they felt was a distraction. Others mentioned concerns about staff qualifications, inadequate staff-to-client ratios, and a lack of engaging activities for patients.

The counselors were very helpful as long as I was willing to do the work they assigned or participate in counseling. The more cooperative I was the better treatment experience I had," one alum wrote.</p> <p>On secondary sites, PFH received <strong>positive coverage</strong> to date: two perfect five-star reviews on Google; and 4.1 out of five stars based on 73 reviews on Facebook, which the organization can manage. <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> Unfortunately, the two Google reviewers did not post commentary with their five-star ratings to support their opinions.

They awarded positive ratings between three and five five stars for a number of metrics, including affordability, connectivity/visitor policy, facility cleanliness and upkeep, family participation, likelihood to recommend, and staff experience and training. </p> <p>However, all three deemed holistic offerings as substandard, and two assigned counseling options a negative two out of five stars. “The staff here was best reaching my daughter on a personal level. They helped her get through her issues. Although there was still a great deal more healing needed after her stay,” one family member wrote. </p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>Two employees surveyed by Rehabs.com to date provided mixed impressions of LaHarpe: one positive and the other negative. T.D., who cited strengths of the center as “committed, qualified staff,” awarded four stars to connectivity/visitor policy, facility cleanliness and upkeep, family participation, and staff experience and training, as well as three stars to counseling options. However, T.D. cited “staff/client ratios” as a weakness. </p> <p>The other reviewer, D.N., awarded four out of five stars for the experience of both the addiction and mental health staff but a negative two stars for the overall quality of leadership and wrote: “The boss that they had me under turns out he had fake degree, and they made stuff up about staff to cover their tale.”</p> <p>On secondary sites, current and former employees of PFH offered <strong>moderately positive feedback</strong> about the organization as a whole: 3.1 out of five stars based on 221 reviews on Indeed, and 3.1 stars based on 94 reviews on Glassdoor.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-4"><sup>[4]</sup></a></small> Many reviewers <strong>praised colleagues</strong>, expressed satisfaction in their work with clients, and work-life balance.
