Crestwood Behavioral Health

The organization provides a complete range of behavioral healthcare services, from traditional psychiatric services to innovative recovery programs geared toward community reintegration, building resiliency, and developing compassionate communities. Crestwood operates multiple campuses across California, including a location in Sunnyvale. Recovery is integrated into all levels of care, with an emphasis on wellness tools, peer providers, and natural supports. The organization serves individuals challenged by mental health issues and emphasizes family involvement in the recovery process, noting that up to 70% of people living with mental health issues live with a family member. Working as a nurse at Crestwood involves supporting clients through psychiatric and behavioral health care, with nursing roles ranging from CNAs under Nursing Supervisor direction to licensed nursing staff. The environment is recovery-oriented and aims to foster choice and active participation for those served. However, employee reviews reveal significant concerns about staffing levels, leadership support, and alignment between the organization's stated mission and day-to-day practices.
