The Buckeye Ranch: Residential Campus

“I was at The Buckeye Ranch in 2021 and was terrified going in because I didn’t know what to expect. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcomed and safe. Camille, Jessica, Devyn, and Miranda truly stood out, they were incredibly kind, supportive, and helped me more than they’ll ever know. I was only there for three months, but with the staff’s help and my own determination, I met my goals and became a better version of myself. I still think about this place often, and one day I hope to work here to help other kids the way I was helped.”

“I was at the buckeye ranch back in 2005... i use to think life was over when i nevwr wven realized or witnessed qhat real life was about or about to become... i know there were 3 staff i loved dearly ... justin was a great role model for me !!! Then theres miss tina !! She was like my mom there she actually gor fired when i was there because they said she was to kuch of a mom figure -_- to certain kids smh... then there was brandi hodges ... i hated her so bad at forst because she use to think crazy things about miss tina.. either way i grew to love her too. Cause it felt like she was all i had being there that long... an eith other staff leaving... i would love to just give miss brandi Hodges flowers an to thank her ... 😘”

“If I could put zero stars I would they treat us like literal garbage your mental health is going to be very unhealthy being there, would literally rather kill myself then go back there they allowed a staff to call me his baby and babygirl and did nothing about it even after he put his hands on me they yelled at me when I expressed my feelings about that and continued to let him work with me knowing he made me uncomfortable”

“The buckeye ranch taught me to never give up and be a stronger version of myself. I miss some of the staff. I miss my clinician and I miss being in the groups and being able to not only fix myself but see my peers and their perspectives on things. I messed up a lot there but I held strong”
