786. Acadia Montana

During its shortlived lifespan Acadia Montana went through a number of changing management, change of staff and the children were not provided with the promised care. In the end all the local community cared about was the loss of jobs rather than the welfare of the children placed at the facility.

Previous it was known as Rivendell of Montana

It could not have been fun to be there as a teenager.
