Business ProfileforCottonwood Creek Behavioral Hospital

My child was seen at St. *************** on 5/29 & the social worker, ********, recommended he be admitted to Cottonwood Hospital. We expressed concern that b/c there were only a few days left of the school year &he had multiple classes he was in jeopardy of failing if he didnt complete missing assignments/ tests that being hospitalized would compound his anxiety. She called Cottonwood, then assured us that they had a teacher &that he would get tutoring for schoolwork. We viewed the Cottonwood website. It said *********** services, including tutoring are provided during the school year. Cottonwood behavioral hospital works closely with area school districts to ensure every child is receiving the appropriate curriculum based instruction based on her grade level. We made it clear we wouldnt consent to admitting him if those services werent provid*** I called the next ****************** weekend case manager who said there was no teacher or tutoring & that they did not have the staffing for that service but that he would make a note for the regular case manager, ******. The following day I spoke w/ ****** & voiced my concern about his need to complete schoolwork & get tutoring. She said patients were given a slot of time each day to do school but after that they couldnt b/c there wasnt adequate staff to watch them.She said I could bring his computer,but that he wouldnt be given extra time or help to work on school. I then spoke with his dr who said our son was very anxious about school &wanted to be discharged early & that he would approve it if we wanted to have him prematurely discharg*** We did. However,he failed 2 classes as a result of not getting any help w/school work at Cottonwood. His anxiety has worsened,he cant attend his regular high-school & has fallen behind academically. The *** told me they have since removed the tutoring part from their website as it was misleading& that many staff there only had a high school *** & couldnt tutor patients.
