Russell E Blaisdell – Orangeburg

A number of vacant and decaying buildings with unused and uncared for land. A large parcel was taken by a power hungry data center that appears to be expanding with no alternate energy sources. Much better if turned… into park land.

Not the best hospital not the worst. The food is never enough. The heat doesn’t work well during the winter. They do offer some good services like dental, feet, and eye doctors. They also have decent social workers. Not… somewhere I’d want to live long term but the place is definitely safe.

My Uncle Billy was here, and now he is serving a 25-year sentence for manslaughter because they failed to properly protect him from another individual who chose to strike him in the back of his head. Now he’s in prison… and going through even more torment, which has been ongoing for many years. This is the last place that can truly help individuals suffering from mental illness. My uncle's situation is so unfair; they failed him on a large scale, and now he is paying for it even more in the late stages of his life.

I was a patient at the Nathan Kline institute for psychiatric research 2 months ago and I got to say the grounds are beautiful and very picturesque very haunting as well and definitely felt the historys presence I will… forever remember my time there

Horrible experience

Carl Solomon, I'm with you in Rockland!

Jp Morgan chase bought most of the property and turned it into Data Center!!!!

Do not recommend.

Place is trash. Mold everywhere

I just wanted to thank you so much Dr. Karl and the staff you all were so supportive and helpful to my son we really greatly appreciate everything thanks again!

Exploring is fun there

They made me put my purse and they forced it wen i got out my purse they robed me of all my cash 50$plus . The locker i took with me the keys but i guess they can use any key... Very upset

Do not mess with these kids, just don't.

I’ve witnessed first-hand acute lithium toxicity in a patient already on a plethora of different mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. Patient had been prescribed NSAIDs PRN.. that’s a big no no on lithium. Anyway, the… patient had been exhibiting new symptoms of catatonia, muscular dystrophy, and he was a little jaindice. I confronted the attending about it, who seemed embarrassed and tried to scramble for a possible explanation. Not the first time I’ve witnessed abuse or gross neglect. **healthcare professional

First off, yes the SnakePit is still in business. Some buildings are being demolished & sold; it's not abandoned. The place only requires a G.E.D for staff; the ones with morals retired. It's insanity enough to give… anyone ptsd and your safer in jail or prison. It is horrific! They Sheriff's get calls of patients raping other patients, feces on walls, you cannot rationalize with people that degree of delusional. Nothing to do stare at walls. Patients spit pills put instead of take them. Food sucks. It dabgerous. Cuidate!

I don't think this is actually a physchiatric center anymore. It used to be one. More aptly, it should probably be called "The Old Rockland Physchiatric Center," or "The Abandoned Rockland Physchiatric Center." Anyways,… it was pretty cool.

totally tubular place. I love it so much and im only 12. hope to work there one day. Its fun to be creeped out there also,

I called to get help for my bipolar disorder, which I just moved to Rockland County NY and it is near impossible to find a psychiatrist, and the person who answered said if I'm having an episode I should go to an… emergency room. They won't do anything for me at an ER if I'm having a bipolar episode, other than make me wait for hours and send me home with a note to follow up with a psychiatrist. She then said to call back in the morning. Yeah, for a person with bipolar depression who is having an episode and is reaching out for help tomorrow morning might be too late. Just saying.

The worst people!!!!!!they need to put those people behind bars especially Janet Monroe
