Hi Lauliza
There is another State hospital in Massachusetts. Bridgewater is more for criminal offenses than straight psych. The other hospital is Tewkesbury. (or is that the VA?)
BTW, McLeans isn't for the rich. Unless you go to the Pavillion, thet accept Medicare/Medicaid. It is private as is Westwood Lodge, but they have all changed for the worse.
I was always allowed flowers in any psych hospital including Danvers State (when it was still open)
