Napa State Hospital Medical Units

Beautiful grounds. Wonderful patients and staff. The napa state hospital police are highly trained and they do a wonderful job keeping everyone safe and abiding. The Drs keep everyone healthy and happy. The groups are super informative. You can learn tons about the brain, personal psychosis, sholin, and budist education, meditation and health practices(wim hof), anger management, controlling your thoughts and changing them, psychology and therapy. The psychiatric nurses are calm and respective, they are able to keep contraband and violence out of each unit. However they could do a better job labeling urine tests so people don't get false positives. They are understanding when this happens but sometimes seem to not realize the obvious. The food I would have to rate a six or so. It definitely gets old fast. Thes patients really deserve the best food. The have to spend most of there long lives eating the same thing every 3 weeks! Most of them are alive and well. There id a gym and track that patients love and utilize whenever possible. They allow the opportunity to garden. Which reminds me that there are many fruit trees, peach. That have curly leaf. Very unfortunate. Shout out to the mall staff. Units T9, T10, T5 staff. Great work beautiful people

I have a relative that has been placed in Napa. This person is in on a 1370 hold, which means she has broken the law was deemed incompetent by the court, and placed there for treatment to become competent for court. When I first found out I was very skeptical and fearful of her placement there. This relative has been in county jail for about 9 months before sent to Napa. In the first 9 months I had contact with this relative, and saw some improvement in her behavior. She was addicted to drugs and alcohol and Is bipolar with schzoaffective disorder. She had been homeless and on the streets for close to 16 years. She was in pretty bad shape by the time she was arrested. I received a call from her within ten days of her placement in Napa. Inmates are allowed a free 10 minute call once a week. She told me she was much happier there, was treated very well Had outdoor priveledges several times a day. Over the last 3 months she has participated in classes, worked with a team of professionals, whom have prepared her for court, fine tuned medication for her, and given her anDC her family hope that she will be released and be able to begin a new life. The change is dramatic. Our conversations with her are now normal! It is amazing. My hats off to the staff of nurses social workers rehab techs and police officers, that have treated my relative with dignity and respect while helping her rehabilitate. The hospital also put on a thanksgiving feast which we were invited to. It was an amazing experience, families with inmates enjoying a thanksgiving dinner together. It costs 10.00 a plate for family, and the food was fantastic. I am amazed at how far this hospital has come. I wanted to write this for family or others that may be frightened at the prospect of loved ones being placed there. It is a penal institution. But they do their jobs with compassion and empathy, and treat my relative with dignity.
