I felt trapped and stuck in my life. I was lost and had no direction. My OCD and anxiety were crippling and affecting every aspect of my life – I felt completely powerless and had no hope. I chose The Residence mostly because I wanted a program that was created to address my specific needs. Personally, I also knew that I would not be able to give the program my best unless I felt extremely comfortable with my living arrangements. The Residence provided luxurious living, excellent food, and an atmosphere where I could thrive.
The Residence got me out of isolation – out of the pit. I am now equipped with the skills that I so badly needed in order to go forward and live a happy life. I honestly had a breakthrough. The aftercare has been wonderful. My psychologist was sent all important information concerning my treatment and is still corresponding with The Residence regarding my progress. I didn’t have to do anything – it was all taken care of. The Residence was honestly life changing for me. You guys are doing a wonderful thing.
The Residence Team allowed me to find both the old and new me. The program made me want to live again and helped re-define my identity which was lost from a debilitating illness. My three young children and husband are so grateful to have this exciting, happy, and thriving new mother leading their lives.
My treatment plan included individual and group sessions as well as more unusual therapy like recreational and horticulture, which I really liked. My schedule there also allowed for time in between all the sessions to just breathe and absorb what I had learned. The 24/7 nursing staff was one of the best parts of The Residence – they were genuinely helpful and just awesome people. Oh, and the food was great! Homewood is the best private care institution.
I entered The Residence at Homewood because of a nervous breakdown. My sister had heard about The Residence and what I liked is that the treatment was personalised, intensive and in a small, intimate setting. I learned new skills, had some breakthroughs in my thinking and there was a great mix of therapists and learning. The nurses were very supportive – and the food was excellent. The whole experience was a real retreat and I gained new tools and a toolbox to manage my mental health. There was a lot of love, care, support, sharing and friendships in the group.
I selected the residence because of the positive reviews I read online, after reading what the program has to offer I decided that it would be the best fit for me due to the individualized approach to therapy & recovery as well as the very comfortable living conditions. For the first time ever my anxiety and depression is no longer dictating my day to day activities and social interactions. I am finally happy and have the confidence that my life has a purpose and a future. My trauma no longer defines me and my life has been changed in the best way possible. The residence has given me the lessons and tools to live a happy life.
The Residence made me realize how much I did need help, pushed me to grow, and helped me with any need I had with some of the most caring, friendly, and attentive people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. I wasn’t expecting to be cared for so well. The best part of my experience was learning deeply about myself, the great meals and swimming.
The private counseling and comprehensive nature of psychology and psychiatric treatment helped me get my life back on track and reduce the depression and anxiety I have been struggling with.

This was possible because of a very supporting and compassionate staff, the invaluable one on one sessions with my physician and the new tools and techniques like CBT, DBT and mindfulness.
I feel more confident now and have great access to tools needed in addition to the aftercare.
The responsive, well educated and caring staff and individual sessions made for a well rounded program and I am thankful for the medication and the skill set that will help me continue the process of managing my issues.
After having been to other facilities to treat depression, anxiety with trauma, PTSD and alcoholism, I was recommended by my physician to The Residence. I came in with the expectation of a structured plan and got one. The leisure, horticulture and arts were fun but also very important for my mood.

The best part of my experience there was that it felt like a community. CBT, DBT, mindfulness and self-care are all very useful tools and improved my mental health.
My life had become unmanageable and I was powerless over my addition. It was on my doctor’s recommendation that I came to the Residence and it really helped me. The 1 on 1’s and the groups helped me with learning coping skills and gave me a new perspective on my addiction and recovery process. The diet and fitness program helped me with a balanced lifestyle.

I was aware of Homewood’s reputation and it came highly recommended. The tailored program, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, one on one’s and advanced training skills in relative comfort greatly helped in my recovery. All aspects of my recovery were handled carefully.
The best part of my experience at The Residence was the Individualized treatment plan and the highly qualified staff. I was taught various tools like CBT, DBT and CPT. The CPT evidence based trauma therapy, the recreational and art therapy was very helpful.
I sought support for my alchoholism and depression with The Residence as it was referred to me by a friend and because of its high end reputation. The diversity and personalisation of the treatment was the best part of my experience and I also look forward to continuing with the aftercare plan.
I found The Residence through the Homewood Health website. The small groups and home feeling as well as the clinicians made were the deciding factor for my choice. I felt safe there. The Residence taught me skills and provided me with a safe environment to heal. The sessions got at the issues that we relevant to me. The staff had my care as their number one priority. I am leaving here with skills, kind treatment and a place where I was not judged.
