Crestwood

“ldylwood Care Center-a place of roses, gardens, care, sensitivity and respect. I thank you all, every member of a phenomenal staff, from the bottom of my heart. My brother passed with great dignity and peace and lived his final months with comfort and care.”

“My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and hospice care was needed. The diagnosis and the burden that came with it was heavy. It was a great relief when my brother Bobby was accepted to move to ldylwood from Stanford Hospital. ldylwood was not only able to provide the mental health support he needed but also provided exceptional care for his cancer and ultimately his end of life. It is a beautiful setting, close to our home so that we could visit and take Bobby home as often as possible and when the end came, were able to be with him.”

“Together, we struggled against age old bias, fear and a misinformed constituency within the community to establish a safe environment for consumers seeking recovery and their rightful place in society. Today there is a calmness… a broadening of understanding, and the recovery of spirits.”

“Profoundly and from the deepest part of my heart and being, I thank each and all of you and wish you all the best and continued innovation in a misunderstood and under recognized profession.”

“I am no longer in pain and I am not ashamed to say I was a client at Crestwood.”

“Thanks to your organization and my own self-realization, I want to live long.”

“All of the other program monitors were completely professional, courteous and compassionate towards all clients.”

“The activity assistant has the patience of a saint and his smile is contagious.”

“This letter is to inform your organization of the exemplary and outstanding services of not only Crestwood as a whole, but individual recognition of a number of your nursing and support staff.”

“Thank you for the care given to him and all your residents. May it never be said that you are not worth your weight in gold. Also know that California offers much stronger services than many other, if not all, states.”

“You all gave him a home and the care he deserved.”

“Many times, you probably question your own impact on society. Without you and many like you, we would be in far worse condition.”

“I know, he was difficult to deal with at times and you probably have personal concerns as to what you are achieving with your dedicated service. Let me be one to tell you that those efforts on your part are invaluable.”

“I wish to thank all of you for your care, concern and services that you provided to my brother, LK. He was always in good hands, yours.”

“Scott is such a good guy! We so appreciate everything that he has done for our son, and for our family. We will be forever grateful for the concern he has shown for J. and his well-being, and for the kindness he has shown us as J.’s parents.”

“Our experience with Hummingbird was so very different. Early on, we received our first call from Scott Cranny. Scott let us know that he would be working closely with J. during his stay there. He explained the goals of Hummingbird and the plan he had developed exclusively for our son.”

“I feel that the establishment of Crestwood Healing Center in a residential community, despite the opposition, could be used as a model throughout the state.”

“I am writing you on the eve of NAMI’s Mental Illness Awareness Week to thank you for bringing the Crestwood Healing Center to Contra Costa County.”

“Words cannot begin to express my gratitude and appreciation, this being my second admittance, has really shown me that the wonderful workers of Crestwood, no matter their position, are superheroes. Every day you all show up to really serve and care for the clients, both new and old. All of Crestwood consists of amazing people who don’t know how valuable their work is and as a former client, I want to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart. Crestwood is extremely underappreciated in today’s society. You are all angels and I want to thank you again from the wholeness of my heart.”
