This place saved my life!!! If I had not come here and received the treatment they provided, I would have probably been dead. The admission specialists was very helpful and resourceful. The Doctor is truly amazing and spot on when it comes to diagnosis and medication. The Therapists are awesome, caring and resourceful. The case manager really knows how to communicate with your job, so that's something you don't have to worry about at all. The nurses are very caring and holds conversations with you, make you laugh,. The BHT's are Awesome!!! They treat you with compassion and love that's genuine. They are very helpful and will help you anyway they can. I definitely would recommend this place for anyone needing treatment. This is the best place to get the help you need.

My stay here was great! Everyone was so kind and caring. 5 stars to all the therapists that work here and got me through my hard times. Also 5 starts to Brian the cook. He did outstanding on accommodating my pickiness on food choices. If you’re looking for a place to get help I would totally recommend coming here for treatment.

I have to say I’m beyond blessed to find this place! I was scared, anxious, and nervous walking in. Within 2 days I felt at home! My group was amazing the bond I have created with them. They will always be family. To my therapists thank you! To my group facilitators thank you but let me shout out Manny and Dustin! What I learned from Manny and Dustin and the care they put in towards me truly has opened my eyes and given me a new meaning to life when I walk out these doors! I’m so thankful to learn from you guys and I appreciate all you did for me during my stay! To the BHTs thank you! Most importantly Maria that’s my best friend for life! I’d go to war for her in a heart beat! Thank you for the hot funions. To the nurses thank you. You guys are amazing and on top of it always. To Barbara the nurse practitioner she was the first person to open my eyes and really show care towards me! She gave me a better understanding and just encouraged and loved up on me when I needed it. Thank you so much Barbara. To my case manager Maria thank you. She answered all my questions and between her and my wife had my FMLA AND SHORT TERM approved in no time and gave me the relief and comfort I needed while I was hear not worrying about a job. Last but not least my man Brian the chef! He is one hell of a cook definitely gained 5 pounds during my stay. He puts heart and effort into everything he makes. He cares listens and works with you! Overall 10 out of 10 this place was amazing and id recommend it to any and everyone! Thank you guys so much! With all love time to go home!

Staff is amazing, can't say enough good things about the Techs. Therapists and group facilitators are awesome. Chef Bryan goes above and beyond, his food is incredible. Cleaning ladies are sub par at best. Needs some TLC renovation wise.

It looks nice from the pictures and they did a great jobs selling it to me! They even flew me out! My insurance is locked in to California, as I found out when I needed to leave the facility so they dumped me at the airport and wouldn’t fly me back to one of their CA facilities. They lied about insurance, the place was disgusting, and the finance lady was rude. Rest of staff were nice. I spent 2 days trying to get back to CA! And they didn’t tell me I would need to come off my seizure meds for epilepsy.

I’ve been at zinnia health for 23 days and it’s not only saved my life but changed my entire outlook on how addiction and recovery should be. I’ve struggled with addictions for many years of my life along with severe mental health problems and they’ve not only helped me learn healthy coping skills but also learn how to be a productive member of society. My biggest challenge was accepting help and support but I’ve learned how to not only deal with my problems but deal with life as a whole. I hope anyone who is able to come here and get the help they need does, they listen and do go on fun outings so you’re not cooped up behind four walls. Staff is very helpful and always there to keep you safe and healthy. Chef Bryan cooks some of the most filling and delicious meals. I hope anyone considering this place doesn’t think twice about it and puts in the effort and work to come here. I’ve never been more appreciative of a place/rehab facility before but I am appreciative of dignity health. I love this place and I wouldn’t ask for anything different. Thank you dignity healing for everything you’ve done to build the foundation for me.

Absolutely loved it here. The techs are great the group facilitators Dustin manny Andrew will teach you so much and really help you get through what you’re going through. Bryan the chef is especially great, without him I would not have been able to stay there due to my extremely small diet. He made me food specifically for me, every single day, every single lunch and dinner. He is very nice and made me feel better quite often.

I got everything, therapeutic wise, that I needed from this facility, but especially appreciate the concentration they have here where Mental Health is concerned.
Coming here has saved my life and I wanted to thank the specific staff that was kind to me and helped me get through my stay..

Vanessa (Director of Operations) was an absolute gem! I was so inspired by her and appreciate the continued kindness she showed me throughout my stay!

Barbara (Medical Provider) -
This woman is a saint. She talked me down on my hardest days and always advocated for my well being. Thank you so much for being the loving and caring person you are!

Monica (Finance Manager) -
What a sweetheart! Thank you for doing everything you could to get my insurance straight and always willing to help, when needed. You were one of the nicest people in the facility ❤️

Brian and Andy, the cooks -
Wow! They both pour so much love into their food and make sure everyone has specific items for their diets/preferences. With as many vices that we have to give up when we get here, they really make it feel like home, through their food.

Nursing Staff:
Tomoka
Shara
Tamecia
Nikia (she’s so sweet and funny!)

Special shout out to Ms. Cynthia, Robert, Renneec and Shaniqual -
I truly don’t think I would have gotten through without them. They really care and empathize for everyone around them. They’re so special and I’m so grateful for the support they gave me on my toughest days 🙏

Therapists:
Andrew
Mike
Dustin
Dominique
Andrea (my specific therapist) who was an amazing listener and extremely supportive!

And last but not least, Manny.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a therapist that was made to do this as much you are. The help and guidance you offered, and the trauma you helped me work through, will be carried with me for the rest of my life. Thank you for caring for your patients the way that you do!

Unfortunately, there were two staff members here that made my stay extremely difficult..
I’m still leaving 5 stars because of the staff mentioned above, but there were times when I packed up my stuff to leave, because of the lack of insincerity and pure apathy they both exuded..

Siga (Head of Clinical) -
I’m shocked to know that this woman is the head of anything and I felt very unsafe around her. She seemed to get some kind pleasure out of triggering specific patients, but doesn’t even bother to learn people’s names before trying to communicate with them. I’m very disappointed in how she handled multiple scenarios -
Thank God for the therapists that actually understand what we’re going through, who helped during those difficult times.

And Maria (Tech)..
This woman should not be working at a mental health facility. She’s one of the laziest, vindictive and unkind people I’ve ever been around. She has zero empathy and carries an air around her, that she’s better than the patients she’s working with -
Like we’re lower than her, because of what we’re here for, and exercises an abuse of power every chance she gets.
I will never understand why people like that choose to be around patients that are at their most vulnerable and lowest points, if they can’t empathize for how we’re feeling.
I sincerely believe she is a danger to those around her and she shouldn’t be working in this field.
