Generations/Gaithers, Inc.

My adult mentally ill son was transferred to this company in McKenzie, Tennessee in June 2014 to a supposedly secure housing facility. I am my son's court appointed conservator . His mental capacity is extremely deminished. They could not handle his behaviors and moved him to another secured housing facility in July 2014. He escaped and stole a 4-wheeler - no charges filed. They immediately moved him to a non-secure housing facility in Union City, Tennessee for the mentally ill in August 2014. He should not have been in a non-secured facility and they knew this. They could not control him and he escaped the very next day and was arrested for criminal trespassing. The jail released him to the care of Generations and before his court date, they let him sign an AMA to release himself when he has not the authority nor the mental capacity to do so. They let him walk away with no money and no where to go. His parents live 4-1/2 hours away and were never called about him signing out. I finally was told my son was again in jail. We travelled to Union City, Tennessee and attended court where all charges were dismissed due to his mental illness. They mistreated and neglected my son and did not keep him safe and secure as was promised. Generations engaged in patient dropping with my son. He has now been off his meds for a week and is in awful shape.
