Patient presents to the ER from PRTF twice in the same day after boarding for an extended period of time due to aggression towards staff. She has since been discharged from the PRTF as they felt a higher level of care was indicated. She is currently doing well here with intermittent verbal escalations though does struggle with peer relationships. She does express visual and auditory hallucinations though these do appear to be related to trauma.

Update-5/30/24- Patient has had severe decompensation in part due to child protection concerns along with prolonged hospitalization and has been in the BICU for aggression, self harm, and seeking/securing items to self harm with. It is now recommended that she be placed in a PRTF.
11 year old presented to the ER after discharging from residential for concerns of running away, recent sexual perpetration to 6 year old brother, and homicidal ideation towards current guardian. Active CPS investigation over the last 1.5 years and is unable to return to her mother’s care or a home with younger children. This patient struggles with low insight, poor boundaries, antagonizing behavior, and justifies her behaviors. We attempted to obtain psychological testing though patient was not cooperative and refused. Medications are stable. She continues to display oppositional behaviors at times.

Pt came into our ED on 6/13 after a verbal altercation at home with mom, where she left the house and walked to the police station who called crisis and brought pt to ED. Mom is refusing to pick up. Its reported pt was in residential treatment until April 2024, and prior to that was in PHP through Fairview. Mom reports that Case Manager is looking into residential treatment again however we have been unable to reach the CM and their offices are closed the rest of this week. Unsure if there is a recommendation for residential or county approval for that LOC.

Discharging today 6/20 to group home
Came to our ED solely due to not having another placement. Has boarded in our ED in the past. Was previously at Bar None Shelter plus where she assaulted others and was taken to JDC. Was in JDC for a week when a judge ordered her to be removed, so CPS brought her to the ED as they had no other place to go. CPS is searching for group home placement as that is what the County’s juvenile screening team deemed the appropriate level of care.

Had interview with potential provider 6/12- they are potentially going to do a variance for him to live in adult home if accepted (he’s 3 months from 18). At baseline has some auditory hallucinations, ongoing aggression- primarily verbal, occasionally property, along with some suicidal ideation.
MHF-F16-4103
Came to ED on 6/2 after a fight with her guardian, Grandma. Grandma reported she has run away in the past and had made comments related to SI. Grandma refused to pick up and then flew to another state, notifying us she did not know when she would return. We tried to refer to shelter programs, but struggled due to Grandma’s unwillingness to work on reunification post shelter placement. CPS has now opened and will be pursuing temp custody, once they have that they will pursue placement options.
