Summary of Request:
Adventist Health is an acute care psychiatric inpatient treatment facility located in both Vallejo and St. Helena, California. Admission to Adventist Health is based on the medical necessity of clients who are unable to maintain and safely function at home or in the community. At each facility, Adventist Health provides multidisciplinary evaluation, treatment, rapid stabilization, and coordinated discharge planning that encourages the wellness and recovery of individuals, with the goal of returning them to their respective communities.
Currently, there are no local facilities in Mendocino County that provide acute psychiatric inpatient treatment. As a result, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) will contract with Adventist Health through the proposed $500,000 Agreement for inpatient psychiatric hospitalization services to qualified Mendocino County clients. Through the proposed Agreement, BHRS will place qualified mental health clients in Adventist Health, where they will receive appropriate care, including diagnostic assessments, bed spaces, therapeutic and rehabilitation services, and applicable treatment for stabilization and maintenance of mental health conditions, with an overall goal to improve client functioning and successfully discharge or transition them to a lower level of care.
