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

I remember during my time here all the patients and I tried to make a complaint about a doctor and how he continuously (in an instant too) puts us on meds. The staff laughed at us after we tried to file a complaint. I got misdiagnosed with bipolar and was put on the wrong medication for several months, thanks to that doctor. I also fainted here for some reason after taking my medication. I feel like all mental health hospitals lack in different ways, so it's really nothing new.

If I could give zero star or a minus I would not hesitate to do it. This place was a nightmare experience for me. Of course everywhere we go , there are good and bad people exist, but this place has more bad staffs and nurses than good one. Only a few of staffs here treated me fairly. They always made a lie statement for everything. They treated me and other patients like we have no brain and heart. All my friends (patients who stayed in the same unit with me) had been crying a lot including me due to lack of kindness and ca... read more

For the love of God parents please do everything you can to avoid this place. My teen is going through a lot right now. She was on 72 hours hold sent there by Kaiser. I called there in a couple of hours after she was admitted and was told she will have her meds and access to the quiet room after doctor's order. Later she called me crying and telling how awful this place is. I did my best to calm her down assuming they will provide her with all the support she needed... Long story short. I did not have any updates for more th... read more

Would give ZERO if possible. Horrific. Prison like environment with absolutely zero assistance/treatment for mental health. Our son was a self-admit and within 4 days we could not get him out fast enough. Points to walk away with... They will gladly sedate a patient. They will offer zero mental therapy They will lock patients up as if they were a maximum security prison They will lie to you on every subject matter They will lie to your insurance company to the point where we sat on a conference call with Blue Cross and their... read more

Overdue review of our nightmare experience at this disgusting place where they ignore patients' needs, caretakers' messages, careless 'care', misinformation, and awful treatment of patient's and family members. We watched SJBH take our teen in their car in complete panic mode as Kaiser failed to give details & led us to believe we were waiting for a Kaiser hospital room. We were told as our teen was whisked away- that they'd have their phone & someone would be in constant contact with us. This could be further from the trut... read more

It was ok for a crisis stabilization unit. But I have adhd and have been taking adhd meds for over fifteen years. And my doctor gave me no adhd meds. I've had to suffer for weeks now. Trying to get an appointment at the local Mental health place. But she replaced my Adderall with lithium. That is not a good doctor. Boo

Horrible. My daughter has been in there several times, and the quality of care is horrible.

Unfortunately, this place is pretty inept when it comes to how they conduct business with regard to PHP & IOP client services. You have to hound them and ask repeatedly for information about billing, costs and lab work. They keep saying, "We'll get on that." Their "on-site" psychiatrist isn't even associated with the facility, which make things very convoluted with regard to HIPPA rules. First time dealing with such a facility.
