"
Poor management, overworked employees, bad experience
Behavioral
Counselor (Current Employee), New
Kent, VA – May 28, 2014
Pros: working with the kids
Cons: short staffing, overworked
I loved my job while I worked there - helping the kids made everything
worthwhile. But the scheduling is awful. No one person does the
scheduling, there are constantly holes in the schedule, and they don't
care about short staffing the units. They will force you to stay in
extra 8 hour shift for holes in the schedule they knew about weeks in
advance. There's minimal job security. When there are lots of patients
they'll overwork you and keep you late at work in a heartbeat. When
there aren't many patients and the census is low, they fire for very
small reasons.
Overall, bad experience. They don't care that you're tired because they kept you last night at work. They'll force you to work overtime or tell you to just not come back." Source: http://www.indeed.com/cmp/Cumberland-Hospital/reviews |

| ACS still sending ailing foster kids to shady psychiatric hospital in Virginia ACS still sending ailing foster kids to shady psychiatric clinic BY Reuven Blau NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Saturday, March 17, 2018, 9:51 PM facebook Tweet email The city’s Administration for Children’s Services just signed a new $4.1 million no-bid contract with Universal Health Services. The service's Virginia facility is allegedly known for holding patients longer than needed in order to collect more money. (Jefferson Siegel/for New York Daily News) BY Reuven Blau NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Saturday, March 17, 2018, 9:51 PM City foster children with serious medical needs will continue to be sent to a controversial for-profit psychiatric hospital in Virginia that’s under federal investigation for allegedly holding patients longer than necessary to collect more money. The city’s Administration for Children’s Services signed a new $4.1 million no-bid contract with Universal Health Services earlier this month. An ACS spokesman went to lengths to defend the deal. “A court ordered that these children continue to get care at this hospital, and ACS and the children’s lawyers agree that this is where the best care can be provided,” said spokesman Eric Ferrero, noting fewer than 10 kids are at the site. ACS commissioner blasts Cuomo for capping child welfare funds Part of the country’s largest chain of psychiatric hospitals, the company has come under fire for keeping patients longer than medically required in order to cash in, according to a series of BuzzFeed reports. The group’s billing practices are being probed by the FBI, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense, the site reported in May 2017. The city appears to have first contracted with Universal Health Services in November 2016. It is unclear why the contract was never put out to bid. Health and Human Services officials have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. They contend patients at their facilities receive top-notch care. Cuomo’s proposed budget hurts kids by slashing ACS funds The firm is no stranger to the city’s bean counters. The city pension funds own more than $25 million in the company’s stock. In that capacity, city Controller Scott Stringer, who monitors the city’s finances, has urged the firm to revamp its shareholders voting method. Currently, the firm’s CEO and chairman, Alan Miller, has more than 80% of voting power even though he owns less than 15% of its total shares. Still, Stringer’s office approved the new no-bid contract for several reasons. For one, the contract was listed as Cumberland Hospital Partners LLC, a subsidiary of the larger Universal Health Services, said controller spokesman Tyrone Stevens. Additionally, the Department of Investigation reviewed the firm and concluded it was “clean,” he added, noting a judge ordered three children be sent to the facility. Stevens also pointed out that under the City Charter, the controller can only reject a contract if there’s evidence of possible corruption in the contracting process or on the part of the vendor, a debarred contractor, insufficient money to pay for the deal, or lack of approval from the mayor or Law Department.
