The place sucks when it comes to the food, the supplies and the yard, but I think that mostly has to do with poor funding and lack of supplies. The nurses and BHAs in the Redwood unit did their best and tried to help out. The place was less than ideal because it is a psych ward but they tried. Shoutout to the AM and PM BHAs and nurses working at the Redwood unit, they made my first (and hopefully last) experience in a psych ward easier and bearable. The rest was kind of prison like though but that's definitely not their faul... read more

If I could leave a zero star review, I would. This place is maybe one step above jail. My son was there for 7 days, never once did the dr. call me to discuss his "treatment." And treatment is stretching it. More like 24 hour sedation. The social worker was always in a rush and didn't have much time to talk to me, either in person or on the phone. My son said the "group" therapy was a joke. Absolutely no individual therapy is offered. I think it's mainly a "holding" hospital until either the patient can lie the... read more

Terrible place, I was there for 3 weeks and I never got a pillow. I was there during peak COVID so I wasn't allowed to see family or friends. One of the staff members was a creep. I saw my roommate having sexual intercourse on MY bed and when I tried to tell a staff member they did nothing about it, completely ignored me. They also never gave me back my gold necklace that was very expensive. What happened to it? No idea but I hope whoever kept it is taking good care of it. Whatever you do, do not go there. Only good thing ab... read more

Do not apply for any jobs at this institution. The turnover rate is astronomical from all areas of this entity. The complete and udder lack of humane care for patients, the total absence of training and ethical behavior from everyone who is in a supervisory role is grotesque and negligent. Leadership at this entity allows HIPPA violations to blatantly occur, knows about violations, lets them happen with no correction or accountability. Employees in leadership/supervisory positions exude obvious cluelessness about their basic... read more
