Oak Grove Center - Murrieta, California

Riannon Canestrelli

Oak Grove is an amazing organization and we are so happy to support them. The work they do in the community is so important. We had the privilege of attending their “Rock the Oaks” event recently and it was such a beautiful night! It was great to meet the children they care so much for and it was an honor to be a part. If you are looking for a non profit to support that actually makes a difference, look no further. Also, just want to add a personal thank you to Erick, he is an excellent community relations manager and he brings so much joy and love everywhere he goes.

if i could leave 0 stars i would. this place is borderline abusive and neglectful. I have a pain disability and i NEED a mobility aid to move without pain. I told nursing staff and they said i needed a doctors note,i got one and they still have not gotten one for me or even allowed me to buy one with my own money. I had a convulsive episode for the first time sense i OD and they marked me down for "attention seeking" and did not check up on me for a hour while i was still seizing. There are rats and raccoons in the roofs of the dorms and there are terrible bug infestations. the therapy is minimal and barley even considered therapy. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY OR SUPPORT IT DOSENT GO TO THE KIDS!!!

it sucks for most kids that were ever there. I was there for [redacted] years, so i was tortured during that time by being away from home. also, the 2+ star ratings are from almost exclusively parents.

Oak Grove Center has been an amazing huge blessing in my family and my daughters life and out our lives! I am so grateful for everyone that works there that has collaborated and come together to help my daughter, me and our entire family. Bringing healing to all of us. In addition, I found my sister on Facebook who I have been looking for, for many years. She worked in the same spot my daughter was for 8 years! WOW! When I found that out it brought tears to my eyes. That was evidence of God’s hand on my life and the life of my entire family for our whole lives! ? Psalm 91:1-4 believes, “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the LORD : He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him. For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” Amen! P.S. Thank Dr. Daniel Amen

I attended this program from 2008-2009. I was 15. I'm 30 now and still recovering from some of the behavior modification. This is an extreme choice for a temporary fix.
The closest I ever came to taking my life was during my stay here. They have electric plugs next to sinks, poisons in the nurse station, cars on the street. It's not "safe" in those terms, it's just physical restraint and oppressive rule structures.
Institutional conditioning is not a realistic, lasting cure for your troubled teen. Outpatient therapies and parent involvement is required for raising a troubled teenager. It requires YOU as a parent of a mentally ill child to be more patient, to be more dedicated, and to work on yourself and lead by example.
Reading a sheet of paper and being forced to obey it "or else you'll be sorry" is not nearly as effective as showing your child how to function with things neither one of you understand and practice living it together. It's your reality too, not just your child's.

Don't let these people take your money, benefits, or time. It does not work.

i think my review was deleted; but long story short-- i was SA'd here and they didn't do anything. they just put me and the guy on "boundaries". they didn't change my class or anything, i don't even think the cops were called to investigate, i was never asked any questions. he wasn't even punished for it. do not send your kids here, it doesn't even help. they don't even do anything about bullying either.
