What patients say

Patients praise

  • Recent initiatives such as Community Action Teams creating rapport to facilitate treatment engagement
  • Improved communication reported in some justice-involved care contexts

Common complaints

  • Reports of dehumanizing care and poor psychiatric staff interactions
  • Inadequate system capacity leading to out-of-county transfers and long waits in emergency rooms
  • Documented failures in management, safety, and oversight at facilities leading to lawsuits and facility closures
  • Concerns about the quality of care and treatment effectiveness for residents with serious mental health needs

In patients' words

""Dehumanizing" would be the most apt term to use, followed closely by "Deeply Concerning" and "Highly Frustrating". ... Until the County can find psychiatrists willing to treat patients, I strongly recommend any potential clients to look anywhere and everywhere else first."

rehab.com user review

"SLO County has failed to create and maintain a safe, orderly, effective and efficient means for ensuring that persons experiencing mental health issues receive the care they need, when they need it."
