Olympus Academy

Read the review from Savannah ! 100% honest. Don’t pay $ 10 000. To walk in the door and have your insurance drained because it wasn’t anything I was promised. Check with licensing in the state of Utah. Be sure to ask them for legal minimums on therapy (1hr a week when I checked). Background checks on EVERYONE search the family name for history of their ownership of these high profit facilities. They have managed to have at least one bad google review removed even though it was 100% accurate. Why do they jump from facility ownership if they are so good at helping these kids? Wouldn’t they just grow their successful business? We were shorted meds when sent home, zero medical records after requests from all dr’s involved and the «Dr» used to bill insurance NEVER even met my son and he never did see anymore than a lcsw because they don’t (at the time) have anyone with true medical training and a degree to help these kids. The parent advocates are paid on commission by the facilities! Think about that. They also only tell you «what you need to know» because they don’t want to scare you. Don’t do it to yourself or your child. There’s a reason most of these facilities are in Utah and change hands so frequently.

i found this review on another site and who ever wrote it said it perfectly. I will tell the truth. i was a resident there and they couldn’t help me and kept all my moms money, no refund. be smart. My mom got me real help after being lied to about just about everything, they are about money! we had on jail scrubs and sometimes slept on the floor, when they can’t control us they put zip ties on us until we chill out. any of my people that were there with me please look me up. We may have a case. make sure your parents walk the facility and ask tons of questions.
Review for OLYMPUS ACADEMY
Do your own homework. Reading the Website is not a way to verify if facility is good or not. Research residential treatment facilities and see what you find. Dont be misled by a third party recruiter. Ask to view contracts made with employees and note job titles each employee was hired as. Verify employee licenses and credentials. Do background checks to make sure each person should be around children, no matter what rank the person is. Ask to view all state inspections, as you have a right to see. Ask to view academic curriculum, books, materials, schedule, lesson plans, assessment guides. Verify therapy sessions. If you still admit child verify weekly work. Verify nutrition and meals being served, including portion size. Verify nutritionists is licensed. The only reason to have only staff supervised conversations with your child, whether over phone or in person, would be if academy were worried something would get out, right? Trust your child. If something doesn’t sound right, it’s probably not. Be involved. Ask lots of questions. Stay on top of insurance billing. Verify who, when, and what medication has been provided, ordered at pharmacy, and if orders refilled are necessary at each time. Verify alone with child the meals they are getting, medication distribution, if letters were written or received, and Stay in constant contact. If you are not from utah, why would you ever enroll in utah? If all the residential treatment facilities sound similar, think about why you needed to look at more than one facility. Trust your instinct. Don’t be so desperate, you avoid what your gut tells you.
I don’t feel I need to say whether or not olympus is a good choice. If you do all your research, which is a lot of work (nothing is too much to make sure your child is safe), you will be able to make your own determination on whether it’s a good fit for your child.
