Mental Health Providers in Fremont, California

I was in the Shasta unit in February 2025 and it was traumatic for me, but maybe that's just all hospitals haha. Some of the staff in the unit demonstrated preferential treatment, gossiping about patients, and passive-aggressiveness. The biggest thing for me was the boredom. They have groups every day, but they are all corny and geared towards children and I didn't want to participate. That's just me though, maybe other people enjoy them. There is little to nothing for adults to do. I spent most of my time sleeping, luckily they didn't have a problem with it. As for the actual medical portion, I think they just do what they're supposed to do, and that's it. There's not much anybody can do for a patient in just under two weeks except observe. I expressed that I was anxious about being in there to the staff several times, and they gave me medication to help with it sometimes. The only thing that helped with my anxiety was getting released. It was truly an experience I will never forget.

Very low level of care. The facility is unclean, the administration had few answers to pertinent questions. As a registered nurse of 40 years I found the facility a disgrace to long term care.
