My grandson has been at KVC for a couple of months now .We are more than pleased with the care he is given . We have constant communication with his care team. We are notified immediately of any concerns or incidents. The staff have gone above and beyond for our grandson. I admit I was extremely worried and skeptical at first due to a lot of the reviews but we put it in God\'s hands and on faith .We are so glad we did . The staff, teachers, and staff are wonderful, caring ,and I feel loving towards all the children there . I would definitely recommend this facility if you are needing this type of care.

MissMissy 77

This place is complete trash for kids. Staff are lazy and they are understaffed. These kids are inappropriate for there age. They are setting no structure for these kids but only making them worse and medicated. They lie and try to protect themselves and not these kids. This placed needs to be investigated asap. This kind of place isn\'t helping our children but only making them worse. They won\'t give you to where you need to make a report but they only try to investigate themselves. Which isn\'t fair to the patents or these kids.

Andres Mexicano

My child has DMDD, ODD & ADHD ect... We sent him here because of his anger I needed help well his therapist called me yesterday and told me they were going to call DHS on me because he has been there 3 times and Everytime he comes home he has gotten worse.. I guess that\'s what you get for trying to get your son help.. I\'m 33 and have NEVER had a call until he was sent here.. I have tried everything but I guess nothing is good enough! Good luck to the whoever decides to send there child here!

Jaden Preator

I was there for a week and they kept me in a “boat” more like a plastic bin under a light. I had my blanket taken away because I was trying to block out the light. The staff would be talking very loudly at 3 AM and treated everyone like garbage. We got yelled at if we didn’t sit “properly” in the chairs ( back again the back rest, feet on floor facing forward, hands on knees) I was about 107 pounds and all I got to eat was a carton of milk and green apples that whole week! The only good part about that place was my roommate. They don’t let you give out personal information for obvious reasons but I just want to make sure that the friends I made in their are ok. I want to see how much they have changed and how much they improved in their lives. KVC will not give any last names. That place is supposed to be for healing but it felt like a adults trying to take advantage of some young teenagers, just like a daycare teacher can take advantage of toddlers.

I can\'t believe this place still exists! Use to be called kaw valley. I know for a fact that years ago girls were molested by male staff members and they all covered for each other. Sending your child here is the wrong decision. They will have more issues when they are discharged.

Shay Slonaker

I doubt it changed to much over the years. I went here as a child and to everyone that reads this and is thinking about sending your child here. Don\'t! Horrible. Horrible place I STILL have nightmares about. My mom fought tooth and nail to get me out of here and I pray for the children that have been admitted. Little girls were swallowing paperclips, to get out of there.

Jeffery Clark

This place is the worst place you could ever imagine. I would rather my kid would end up in kid prison instead of this place. The staff is completely unprofessional, their lack of care or compassion for not only the kids there but also the parents is horrible. We were hung up on asked what we wanted when they first answered the phone. One of the staff members there when asked why my daughter was being medically neglected said if you have a problem I get off in 30 minutes and you can meet me by my car. This place is more than a joke it should be shut down. They do not care about helping your child they care about the insurance money to get paid. The front areas are a gimmick that you see to believe your child is going to get awesome treatment, when in reality they get treated like scum and worse than prisoners. We had to go in the middle of the night and remove our child in order to then take her to the emergency room to find out that she had a severe form of dermatitis that when left untreated became extreamly painful and broke open and bled all the time. When picking her up they gave us her clothing tote which we had brought with her when she was admitted there and was told everythings in there search it if you want. When arriving home we come to find out that none of her clothes are inside the tote it was filled with empty plastic bags almost as if it was used as a storage box. Please for the love of god read the other reviews and stay away from here. My daughter therapist Greg was a creep as well once my daughter was discharged he continued to try and call us and continued for weeks trying to reach us. All in all stay the hell away from here and keep your children safe and far away. You would legit have better luck with them in jail than here this place would scar them for life! My daughter lost $200 worth of clothes that were given away because “they didn’t fit her no more” and we had to replace every single clothing item that was stolen from us and given away with out our permission. I was robbed lied to and my child was so neglected she has nightmares of this place to this day. Thanks for screwing me and my family over KVC I really wish someone would step in and shut this place down!

Steve Dinneen

Can\'t rate our whole experience yet because my child is still there. First you are told your child will be there for 3 to 5 days so you make arrangements to miss work and then they tell you maybe 7 days and they also tell you that you can contact your child anytime from 8am to 8pm but the last 2 nights from 7:20 on all you get is an answering machine. For God\'s sakes people say what you mean and mean what you say. We are already in turmoil with our children being there. Have some sort of normalcy for us, please.

Luminous Lux

When I was around 15, I was entered into the hospital just to balance anxiety medication. I’m originally from Winfield, Kansas. I was diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder before I arrived. This experience made all of my issues worse. The staff was horrible. The doctors were horrible. There were only a few nice staff members, that could only be counted on one hand. It was ridiculous. I, being really shy and trying my best to be polite, was bullied by the staff and the doctors. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. EVER. I still have issues with dealing with what happened to me, 3 years later.

The staff are caring and supportive.

Jessica HARRIS

I really thought this place was a great place at first ..but after my child spent 16 days there ( bec of halusanations and anxiety) i found out his bed was givin up and he was to sleep on a \"boat\" I was irritated over this but let it go bec I knew he needed help either way ....All to get him home and hes still having halusanations ( after being told that problems gone away ) Kvc maybe you tryed everything you could to help him and you couldnt but just be honest about it ....Thank you for doing what you could I guess....?‍♀️

Janee\' Poe

The staff is very to kids. Still they are strict and keep the rules. My son seems to be in a much better frame of mind. Thank you KVC

Mireya Cantu

My daughter was placed in this facility since September. I have only heard once from her therapist and by phone. I have tried numeral attempts in reaching her therapist Dawn, and no answer. All i keep getting is the dam voicemail. I havent heard no updates as to how my daughter is doing. Sadly, DCF sent her there after taking her away from me because they thought I am an unfit parent and dont know how to deal with her due to her bipolar disorder (shes 16 years old, and after all these years they think im unfit? WOW!) mind you, not even DCF knew my daughter was bipolar until I told them why she was having issues in the home & school, so they thought they were going to be the heroes and sent her there. I am so frustrated for the fact that these people at KVC will not return my calls to see how shes doing. But in fact they have told DCF that the communication between me & my daughter triggers her behaviors? Not once have I spoken with her since shes been there! Totally false making accusations when there is no way I can even talk to her!!! Why make up the lies? Why not answer my calls for once! Dawn is my daughters therapist, and please dont answer me with the dumbest apology about how you are all professional bla bla bla! After reading all these reviews on this page, i can honestly say you guys are just like DCF! Deceiving & dont care about the individuals!! Just rigging the insurance money is what this is all about!

Lisa Carbon

My son is currently there. Been there since Thursday and I\'ve heard of nobody except his dr!!! He hasn\'t seen a therapist, no groups and NO BED!!!! Why would you say you had an open bed if you didn\'t. Oh yea for the insurance money!!!! So incredibly disappointed, he will not get better in this environment!!! Wish this place actually cared...he also stated he will just tell the dr he is better to go home!!! Will be requesting a transfer ASAP

Angie Carney

They really care about kids there.

Cooper Lopez

This place is hell. Never put ANYONE, you have EVER cared about in this hellish building. One day, my mother casually pulled me out of my class in the middle of the day, saying I needed to get a tetanus shot, which I wasn\'t really opposed to, considering I had just gashed my thumb open with a knife (on accident) to the point of needing stitches.The drive up was rather silent, but it was weird, because we were going far from our home at an apartment in Overland Park, and I was beginning to get worried, even though I was not scared of needles, and could handle the pain. We pulled up to this place, which I thought was some sort of run down clinic or something, but she took me inside and we waited at the front desk, as a man came to talk to us, I joked with him about not being scared of needles, and he looked at me strange. At this point, I knew something was wrong. When they took us into the room to sign me in, they told me I would only be there for 1-2 days. I was there for 5. They made it sound like puppies and rainbows, but it turned out to be terrible. Tiny rooms with no door, small, uncomfortable beds on either side of the room, which was shared. The staff were total jerks, except for a few of the nice ones who understood my situation and wanted to help me out of that hell hole.

I eventually talked to the lead psychologist/doctor at the place, and I told them about all of the abuse from my mother that happened previously, and I was out I THINK the next day or that day, don\'t quote me on that. My mom only visited me once or twice. My dad visited me as much as possible. I took away from his surgical practice, his valuable, VALUABLE time, and hurt all of the hearts of our family. Don\'t. Go. Here. EVER.

Sarah Jane Taggart

f I could give this place NO STARS, I would. It\'s been a year and I\'m still just as angry about the disgusting lack of treatment that actually goes on in there. The therapists aren\'t even official therapists; they\'re barely counselors. My assigned \"therapist\" would demonize and belittle me countless times. She never actually tried to listen or understand me, just go on about either what I thought a good safety plan was when I would have no idea what to really think of and she\'d offer no real support, try to take MY personal experiences and twist them into less traumatic, or act like I was incapable. She completely failed to understand the fact that I was doing internal work even with a staff advocating for me. Everybody always said she was so sweet but in all actuality, she was very very different towards my mom and I. The last thing I have to say about it is she would undermine her behavior as \"just being honest.\" Wasn\'t therepeutic whatsoever. I requested a new therapist in hopes of being able to actually work on my treatment. I never got to switch even though she was an incredibly big obstacle but of course, they didn\'t care. As far as the environment on the unit, there are definitely some staff who clients are able to reach out to and work with but not all. Yes, clients often hear about drama going on with staff. Yes, clients can end up rejected by staff without any communication for that sort of decision. KVC was by far the most chaotic placement I have ever been admitted to. I am not saying I was an innocent client by any means but it wasn\'t a good environment to be in when I already dealt with problems of my own daily. Clients themselves, while I was there which was for 4 months, often helped out during crisis situations due to such lack of staffing. Speaking of staff, they will hire basically anybody to work there. As far as specific chaos, I\'d be more than happy to fill you in on a couple situations. I remember a day that a girl who struggled with self harm addiction got hold of scissors that were in the STAFF OFFICE, which is supposed to be locked at all times unless someone is in there, and was cutting herself in the bathroom. Guess who noticed she was in there for awhile? A client. Another incident was where two clients managed to jump from a window and elope. The only reason staff knew of this occurrence was due to a client reporting it to them. I They of course went after them but, again, we were understaffed. Thus, staff from hospital were callled over. Lastly, there were more minor incidents where clients who were in crisis a day before or even on AWOL risk were allowed to go on outings. In case you don\'t know, that means off facility grounds. If you think the residential is bad, the hospital is even worse.The only reason I had left was due to my insurance deciding it was no longer worth funding. KVC is one of those placements that wants all the money but without a noticeable amount of effort being given to the kids. Behind the front that they all try so hard to help kids is the uncomfortable fact that they are not as professional as they want you to believe. They are human and make mistakes but I highly doubt any company worthwhile would have this much drama and conflict on top of failing to have my mom sign discharge paperwork. If you are looking to place your child in a safe, caring zone, TLC is the only PRTF that I believe offered me real, consistent help.P.S. I don\'t want any superficial apology.

Jourdan Goode

Not good, I didn’t feel safe and their was a lot of bullying. Some of the staff that were watching the kids didn’t seem to care about my mental health or understand why I’m there in the first place they just assumed I was a bad kid and didn’t have emotional challenges. But the psychologist that I met with was very helpful, and gave me the correct diagnosis.

Anna Frazier

Being a former employee at this facility, IF, I had a child, I would never, ever them send to Prairie Ridge.

Elizabeth Smith

My daughter was admitted to KVC Prarie Ridge in KC and was there for 5 days. My child had a good experience while there. She was able to bring back documentation of what staff worked with her on. She seemed more confident. The staff were very respectful every time I would call to speak to my child or if a family member visited. The Psychiatrist Dr. Naved and Therapist Bethany stayed in contact with me regarding my daughter and answered any questions I had. We have a long ways to go, but I feel this was a good experience for my child. The only area that needed assistance was resources for transportation when its time for your child to leave. The insurance was able to provide transportation to drive us to pick up my child and bring us back home. Thank you Best Cab driver Tom.

I\'m not trying to be mean, I\'m sure there are some very caring people who work here.But if you or a loved one is having a mental health crisis and needs a bed or an acute assessment, go to Wyandotte Center for Community Health instead.The KVC inpatient services are perpetually under-staffed and under-resourced. They don\'t have enough beds, people get released too early, and unfortunately many inpatients get ignored. They are now under the management of KU and hopefully getting better. I\'m sure their outpatient services are fine, this review is only for people who are needing an inpatient bed due to mental health crisis.

Susie Kalousek

I was treated decently, although I couldn\'t say the same for my peers. One girl had a health condition that required immediate medical attention if it acted up, but they refused to get her help, and instead she sat in misery for days. The staff used the terms, \"wrapped up\" as a form of punishment for nothing more but talking back, not for legitimate psychological reasons. There were people there for \"temporary placement\" that had been there for almost a year. These people hire trash for staff members. Kids with anger issues were treated like garbage and spent most of their time in confinement. This place should be shut down. It\'s nothing more than a prison for kids with issues and for kids with no where to go.

IMAGASPHERE TV

I was a youth sent to this god awful facility for a \"temporary\" placement thanks to KVC. My KVC worker said I would only be there for four days but the moment a work week had passed they kept me there for at least 7 to 8 months. The moment I had gotten escorted past the front desk (which is by far the most peaceful area you will see) I was shuffled into an elevator. Everything seemed commonplace until the elevator opened. The child\'s unit sounded like a war-zone with rapid banging and incessant screaming. The first kid I saw was slung five feet in a choke hold. He was merely running in a hall. They stripped me of my clothing, gave me scrubs that felt the same as a table cloth and stuck me into a ward. I had had no prior problems but defying authority and no other place to live yet the moment I had gotten there they tried to load me down with happy pills. I refused. I was put to bed in a \"boat\". I am a lanky fellow and found it an intricate process to get comfortable. The next morning (And every day I was there until I left) we were forced to voice our aspirations and have a new goal. Mind you, while being mentally stable I still despised standing there and having to invent a fake goal for the day. So imagine what anyone suffering from anxiety or any other mental condition felt. If you didn\'t invent one the staff would slow down the meeting until or you would be penalized for not doing so. All in all fights, poor hygiene displayed from other patients, radical behavior from the severely mentally ill, totalitarian staff who could get away with murder, little food that tasted like dryer lint and a lack of activities too vent the ever-increasing frustrations made things only worse. Everything there sucked. My therapist never saw me often, staff just ignored me, the advent of even worse kids made getting through the day without conflict impossible. Don\'t send your youth here. They will be scarred and mentally damaged from a place that claims to help them! If I had a dollar for every slur or bias thing a staff has said to us kids who speak up my Bugatti would be yellow. It is better than jail at best. Although it has gave me a great degree of discipline and patience. Send as a punishment, not a remedy. I still haven\'t seen my record or been reprimanded for their actions. Thank you for reading my lanky review. Message if you have questions. We also never got to use the \"scenic\" environment.

Rchristian

I have worked with many of the associates and leaders as a volunteer. The staff look for many ways to enrich the environment and provide compassionate services. Those I have worked with are passionate about the mission and care deeply about the children and the services provided.
