- TGTracy GintherJul 20, 20214.0My 18 year old son was a (first time) Resident at the Lafayette CA facility for 6 weeks this year. He had a lot of trepidation about moving to a facility with strangers, especially during COVID. The facility is fairly small which was helpful in making him feel like part of a family not just a patient. His ED behaviors weren’t as acute as a number of the other residents and sometimesHe felt that he didn’t get the same degree of encouragement during meal times because of this. He looked forward to the group sessions and actively took part. It is an “adult” facility so there was some degree of non-participation from older residents, which affected the “vibe” of the groups. The food was very good, atmosphere pleasant, ability to sit on the deck or the (fenced) outside yard. At times it was difficult to reach administrators at the facility but eventually phone messages would be returned. Insurance billing was relatively painless after meeting our out of pocket requirements. We had family zoom meetings once a week and could see progress. The director was friendly enough but a little distant and did not even say goodbye to my son or us (parents) when we came to pick him up after he was discharged, which was disappointing. The therapists and dieticians were good, the facility was clean and comfortable. All in all I’d say it was a very good place for my son at the time, and I was fortunate to have found it through the National Eating Disorder Alliance help line. (NEDA). I had never heard of Monte Nido and had no idea where to get our son the help that he so desperately needed. I feel like the staff is caring and compassionate in helping the residents, but are not there to form long lasting bonds with anyone.
- NMNicole MickelsonApr 29, 20215.0MNEB was a brand new facility when I was a patient there. While there were many things that needed to be addressed, I was unimpressed with the presumption that residents had to bring up major concerns regarding staff, that being said, it was handled well. I give MNEB so much credit for teaching me how to find and use my voice, gain the confidence to sit down for a meal with a different perspective than I had when I entered, trust in others, etc. My therapist was Julie which I'm so grateful for and I felt seen and heard by her, which was very new to my life experience in general. I also felt very supported by Julie and most all the staff there. I felt safe to connect with not only the therapist but ALL the amazing nurses as well. The RC's were worked to the bone during my stay there, but they always put clients first and were trustworthy and made the experience both safe and fun. I laughed so much with so many staff members by the end of my stay there. I learned how to sit with my ED thoughts and let them pass. I have never been in a better place than I have from Monte Nido. I am genuinely forever grateful.
- CYCarol YoungFeb 24, 20215.0I just recommended MNEB to someone asking how it was for me. This program helped me feel seen and safe and I was able to find moments of joy which I never thought would be possible for me. The treatment team, and all the staff genuinely cared about the clients and it was too life changing for me to not recommend if someone asks.
