October 1947 Willowbrook admitted twenty mentally disabled patients. Within nine years of opening Willowbrook reached full capacity with four thousand occupants. Becoming overpopulated very quickly which turned Willowbrook into chaos putting the patients into terrible conditions. Willowbrook had a big impact on today’s education and overall treatment of disabled people. The downfall of the school was grounds work for laws and bills that would be implemented to protect the rights of disabled people.

These people were filthy, starving due to hardly having food, left without clothing, sexual abuse, many diseases and illnesses, and they were left unattended with little to no staff. Some patients were strapped to chairs and beds and others were seen rocking endlessly in their own filth. “In 2019, there were ninety seven reported alleviations of physical abuse by group home workers against Willowbrook alumni” (Weiser, 2020).

The parents of the Willowbrook patients filed for various violations including confining residents for indefinite periods, failing to release residents eligible for release, failing to provide habilitation for residents, overcrowding, lack of privacy, inadequate clothing, meals and facilities, lack of compensation for work performed, and understaffing and incompetence in professional staff. In 1973 the conditions of Willowbrook still violated the constitutional right of the patients and U.S. District Court Judge Orrin G Judd settled the case on October 1 1974. The improvement of conditions at Willowbrook included hiring more staff, prohibiting the use of seclusion and improper chemical and physical restraints, providing adequate medical care,  and provide adequate and appropriate clothing and physical conditions for residents. After several years past the projected decommissioning dates of Willowbrook, the school closed in 1987. After the closing of the institution Willowbrook class members were guaranteed to receive high quality services for the rest of their lives according to an approved settlement of a judge in New York.
