Crestwood Center San Jose
Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF)

The Crestwood Center San Jose Psychiatric Health Facility on our San Jose campus is in close proximity to the mental health support services in Santa Clara County. The San Jose PHF provides a spacious environment, with two living rooms, a welcoming room, visiting space, serenity room, dining room and a beautiful courtyard. The program is dedicated to restoring a sense of hope, self-empowerment and recovery in each of our consumers. The San Jose PHF is designed for consumers who require stabilization at a time of acute psychiatric crisis. We provide medication management, WRAP, DBT support, welcoming rituals, behavioral interventions, psycho-therapy, psychosocial education and a thorough transition plan to enable a successful return to the community.

Core Program

special features

Over the past decade, we have developed specialized support programs for the many consumers at our facility who speak Vietnamese or Spanish as a first language. These consumers participate in classes and activities in their native languages, allowing them to thrive on their road to recovery.

On our campus, our Vietnamese psychiatrist, Cultural Specialist and support staff lead WRAP implementation and cultural activities for Vietnamese speakers. Our program celebrates all major Vietnamese holidays, provides special Vietnamese menu options at all meals, gives English classes aimed at Vietnamese speakers, and offers "current events" discussion groups in Vietnamese. Consumers also enjoy our Vietnamese karaoke nights.

We also have many Spanish speakers on campus and they are given the support they need to progress in their native language, while also taking classes to enhance their basic English skills. Our Spanish Cultural Specialist and Spanish-speaking staff members monitor consumers' WRAP progression, lead Hispanic cultural groups, which explore the various Hispanic cultures represented at the facility, hold regional cooking classes, and discuss Central and Latin American current events. Crestwood Center San Jose also has Spanish language music, TV and movies for those who are interested.

At Crestwood Center San Jose we invite our consumers to participate in our pre-vocational training program. This program offers consumers the chance to refine their work skills by engaging in various tasks and chores throughout our campus. Consumers also gain work skills by heading up the various aspects of our campus cafe's operation, such as working the cash register, serving customers and keeping the cafe clean.
