Not helpful staff, dont have any answers to questions, dont have a clue whats going on, no supervisors or bosses available over 5 times Ive called to get answers. No emails given, no full names given unless ask over and over, easily emotional staff, Desiree and another 2 staff are too young to be effective, and my Dgtr says an awful place, does not feel comfortable, not warm enuf, do not provide even basics needed. Staff gives position as RC without saying what it is. I find it stands for recovery coach when Desiree could not wvw handle my call.
I hope I never have to the staff here ever again theyre horrible
I was put in here back in 2013. I was coming off drugs and some serious life changes and had a complete mental breakdown. These people were a blessing and I can say I haven’t been in any sort of trouble to get me sent back and I’ve been sober ever since! This place is seriously a blessing for me. The food was better than jail, they let you watch movies and stay up pretty late. They gave me cigarettes until someone brought me some(quit those too!) they always had clean clothes and fresh bedding something I was not used to. The staff was extremely polite patient and understanding, even though I was out of it for awhile. The doctors initially did a check on me and decided I had to stay until I could pass a check. Thank god! It was probably only around 7-10 day experience but I wouldn’t change it for anything.
I’m a medicine delivery driver. I delivered prescriptions couple of times here. Each time I came. They had me wait outside for a while. Why??? Just take my package and give me a your first name. Why complicate things and had me wait for no reason? this is common sense 7 year old stuff.
I dropped off clothes to my daughter, I handed it to staff my daughter saw me hand it to staff. These people told her she doesnt know what she is talking about I never brought her anything.these clothes still had tags on them and now they supposedly dont exist. I would advise not going to this place because they look at mentally ill as being less intelligent. I am calling above their head today and calling lawyers to see what I can have done about the mental anguish they caused my daughter over the weekend by stealing from their patients.
Visited a relative there. Hall floors were FILTHY, so many stains. The outdoor space to get some sun was like a dogs kennel at the pound. He told the meals they serve are worse than what you see at a low budget shelter. They have NO activities, nothing to help occupy these patients, I have to bring books so he can jave something to do. The outdoor space was the worst. There were cigarette butts on the ground, a metal bucket in the corner with trash in it. And it just felt like a prison, not a place of recovery and mental healing. There was just....walls. He looked so drugged up. If this is where those without money are landed if they cant afford celebrity status facilities, than the government has failed its duties in a MAJOR way. These places can only operate by their budget and if we think this is good enough then thats a travesty, and willful ignorance will NEVER be excused.
I was at crestwood for a short vacation all of the staff were very helpful especially Isabel she sat with me to play Scrabble with me when no one else was available she is a very special person that day I realized how intelligent she is it was very comforting sitting with her I will never forget her ever I hope I will see her again under different circumstances meeting someone as beautiful and intelligent as her has made me seriously think about making the effort to improve myself so I can be worthy of such a special person such as she I am smitten with this woman obviously I only hop e I can find someone close to what she is because I know I will never find her equal be proud Isabel I cant and I will never forget You
I was there for a short stay and honestly it was a good place Charles the nurse was awesome he would talk to me when i needed someone to talk to and he would give me my meds when i needed them unlike other nurses who would tell you no it wasnt time yet or tey to cope without the meds. But thanks to Charles i had a good stay and i got the help i needed while i was there.
I went there to visit my girlfriend who is having some mental issues at the moment and they were very friendly very courteous they helped me and her out they were very attentive to all of her needs and my needs and it seemed like they were very very friendly and nice to the to the people that are in having bad times and have to be there and for the family that comes to visit their very very accommodating and friendly
So thankful for places like this. My brother is getting the medication he needs and is recuperating well. Staff is friendly and cooperative.
The nursing staff are very good ESPECIALLY!!!! Nurse Moya her skills are awesome
My friend (for whom I am the emergency contact) went here and in an attempt to figure out how to help and give them information they were calling me about I got transferred all over the place with no one knowing what I was talking about after I called them right back. Seems very disorganized and not the kind of place I would ever send anyone for help
Crestwood serves the community of Kern County by providing a recovery centered safe haven for individuals in crisis.
They keep you longer for moneyThere is no rehabilitationThey hire people with any experience.That room looks immaculate because they never use itThey just overdose patients
