Dignity Health - St. Josephs Behavioral Health Center - Stockton (CA)

4 /5 Shay: I’ve been here twice. It’s been 4 months and I still reminisce on my time spent here. I’ve been to a psych ward in Sacramento and it is nothing compared to this one. The staff here for the most part generally cares for the patients. Thank you to all of the employees who helped me especially the chefs (cuz the food was great) and Bradley.

5 /5 Andrew: When I got to this place back in July 2023 it was on the weekend of my birthday. Whenever I was younger my mom would 5150 me on just about every birthday. When I was hospitalized here Dr. Fox would let me play my guitar and when I was given the privilege to play guitar I would divide my 15-30min sessions with my guitar and let others play guitar. What was really good was the food and dinning area. My electric guitar and line6 podgo was the first time staff had seen any like that to come into the hospital and I was asking for music theory material to be printed out and the nurses were always printed out material for me. I started Stemvasmah therapy which was science, technology, engineering mathematical, visual arts sound-music arts, and humanities, I would be asking all patients on my unit for 3 different topics and the nurses were always printing out the paperwork for my lessons I have taught the patients. I remember going to rec therapy all the patients requested songs all the songs that I like. Overall this is heaven for those who are broken All OF THE FORMER PATIENTS THAT ARE GOING TO GIVE BAD REVIEWS,..... I GOT NEWS THE LIES YOU HAVE BEEN TELLING WILL BE REPORTED PRIVATELY AND RESPECTFULLY. I HAVE LOVE FOR MHTS, I NURSES, first responders, doctors psychiatrist. AND lawn enforcement and paramedics and fire Crew. I have no bad memories of being hospitalized.

5 /5 Vera J: Have been sent here twice, both times the staff have been every respectful. They were very aware of how I was feeling. They checked in with me. When I was placed in a less then desirable unit they made sure I felt safe and secure. They also moved me as soon as a bed as available in the other unit. No, this isnt where I want to be and yes, place is my first choice if I ever need them again. Thank you for all you do.

5 /5 Robyn Thomas: I love this place. I actually miss it. U see not everyone is doing well, and I dont care if your a mental patient, a drug addict, a alcoholic, or u had a nervous breakdown, its the best place to be and safe. I have a friend that I want to go there, Im praying for him. His family would love it. Ive known this place for years. And the people that work there still. Its sad to hear about people that had a bad experience,. God knows Ive had many but it was because of them. I went for a reason. I have left on my own and left when I finished my time there. So God bless the staff I know, and always thinking of you.
