Napa State Hospital Medical Units

The staff here is friendly and the food is decent but it was truly a horrible experience! In 2020 I bought two brand new cars that were stolen. Then I went to test drive a vehicle from a dealership with permission. The car did not have navigation so I pulled off in to a Verizon for directions. I had blank checks from me inside the vehicle for purchase. I was arrested for vehicle theft and placed in Auburn jail for a day and then released in Pleasanton at 2 am with nothing. I couldn't even access my bank without photo ID. I went to a church and was given a gift card for groceries which I used. I was sitting on a park bench eating when an officer pushed me down and arrested me even though I had a receipt. I was driven back to Auburn jail and locked in for six months and then labeled incompetent. I was then taken to Napa State Hospital and locked in there for 11 months. They had a forensic team evaluate me and state I am competent in which they sent me back to Auburn jail. I was never sentenced, never been in trouble with the law and I was convicted of two felonies. I have my own money and no reason to steal a vehicle. The whole situation has caused me ptsd and I am unable to get credit,a loan, rental and some hotels due to the incident. I was released with nothing and shelters were full. I had to sleep outside for 3 weeks until I got my ID back to access my bank account. My drivers license needed to be renewed but they have now suspended it due to an anonymous call saying that I am incompetent.

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
