St Elizabeth’s Day Home

Horrible place for any child. At first my husband and I were very happy about getting our daughter into st. Elizabeth’s because my husband cousins went there. BUT when my daughter came home for the first time with a little diaper rash I really didn’t see something wrong. BUT when she came home with an over flowing diaper the she ended up going through and having pee down her legs. Oh but wait it get better not only was she sitting in her pee but she was sitting inner own poop as weel and was sitting in it for a while because her poop was later stuck to her butt and starting to dry. So when we got home I take her diaper off and she had a horrible diaper rash that was not only blood red it was starting to turn a purple red and then the next day i changed her and she had blisters. She screamed bloody murder when i tried to clean her off!!! How could they not smell her I know I could. I have never treated any child not only mine like they treated my daughter and god knows any other child like they have treated my child. She was only been there for a month and half. I WILL NEVER GOT BACK TO THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN. THEY HAVE RUN THAT PLACE INTO THE GROUND. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS TO MY FAMILY NOR MY FRIENDS

Per some online reviews I’ve found, things have improved with time. Back in the mid-​60s, it was horrible and many of the nuns guilty of abuse, bullying and racism. I recall a boy, we were 5, being taken away from our classroom. I don’t recall his infraction but the sisters told our class he was being punished by being placed in a clothes dryer. After some time he was returned, tears running down his face, and we were made to stand in line and one by one, had to touch his shirt. His shirt was hot from the dryer. Now, I like to believe they just tossed his shirt in to scare us but that is a horrible way to lead children whom you’ve been entrusted with. I do recall children asking if he’d really been put in the dryer and he nodded his head.
