Stonecrest Center

- Is Stonecrest's mission statement is to improve the quality of life for patients or to hand pick patients who have priority insurance?
     *Process is unethical
All patients should be treated equally and fair, why should I drop what I am doing and hurry to accept a private insurance because it'll make the company's pockets fatter? 
     *The population we service all need our help to become a better version of themselves and treating care as a commodity rather than a right is wrong.
-Policy changes everyday, contradicting the others, makes no sense, unorganized
-Upper management is passive aggressive, micro-mangers, and bothersome
-Lack of positive reinforcement
-Management treats employees like they are incompetent children
-Scheduling is HORRIBLE
     *It is changed numerous of times without discussion 
     *There is no logical reason for shifts to end past 8:30 p.m.
      *when suggesting new methods for scheduling, management acts as if simple statements are not comprehensible 
      *Only one person should do the scheduling 
- I love the idea of employing the STEP program but this is a hospital and it is suppose to be clean and sterile...it is FAR from it
*Ants everywhere
*Bathrooms disgusting
*Trash cans not emptied
*They do not know how to mop and sweep correctly despite having someone shadow them
-Nurses attitudes are terrible
-Discharges
*Should be planned and confirmed the day before, its no way we should be waiting on doctors to get in at noon and "random" discharges happening at 4 p.m. when we have deflected majority of referrals
- All staff are under appreciated and underpaid
-The cafeteria is questionable
- I would never admit a loved one to this facility

If ur passionate on patient treatment/psychological care/ be careful / prepared to see some things u dont like (not talking about the patients)  
Good pay, good orientation, good security. Some great staff, but many who I would never want taking care of myself or a loved one. Occasional LACK of sense of urgency esp regarding medical care. I have witnessed extremely unprofessional and questionable treatment that i hope got dealt with by the higher up. Anytime i tried to advocate for someone i seemed to be brushed off or told i “care too much”. As tech, felt unappreciated by some staff who would stay behind the station seemingly uninvolved/careless of the pts (this wasnt always the case) . Some disorganization, every unit tells u a different rule that contradicts eachother- felt like i was learning different “rules” months in. Bright side: rewarding job ,good security  good teamwork, and some amazing coworkers. Its hit or miss with who u work with..Main critique: staff should be thoroughly examined prior to taking care of PSYCHOLOGICALLY VULNERABLE individuals. This isnt a daycare-  rather patients lives and even 1 word or action can have an effect. I expected better from psych hospital staff. Hoping some things improve. Positive note: Overall learned alot from patients here, and stonecrest seems to be improving- hoping for more.

As a Senior Leader of StoneCrest Center, I am proud to work alongside a dedicated team of professionals who share a common mission—providing compassionate, high-quality behavioral healthcare to those who need it most.

We take pride in maintaining a positive and inclusive work environment where every voice is valued. Our focus on teamwork, communication, and continuous improvement has helped create a culture of safety and respect—for both our patients and our employees.

It’s deeply fulfilling to be part of an organization that not only meets critical needs within our community but also encourages professional growth and development. Every day brings the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives, and that’s what makes StoneCrest such a rewarding place to work.

Pros: Supportive leadership, strong teamwork, meaningful work, focus on safety and patient care
Cons: Healthcare can be demanding—but the work is incredibly rewarding

This was probably the worst job I have ever had. I knew it would not be easy working at a psychiatric hospital, but the way the patients were treated bothered me more than anything. They say how important team work is there, which it is because when you are dealing with patients that can snap in a matter of seconds you need to know that the people you are working with have you back! THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. Although there were some good employees there many of them would not help and did not watch your back. The pay is not worth what you go through on a daily basis. Being a new employee was even worst because you were treated like poo by the other workers. I witnessed horrible horrible treatment of patients. I understand that there needs to be ways to handle patients who are a threat but I witnessed a patient being thrown to the ground because she called a nurse a bad word. The care that is provided is a joke. Many of the patients don't even belong there, but the hospital will accept them only to make money off of them. There is such a high turn over rate many employees do not even com back after lunch and that is due to how the MHAs, in particular, are treated.

Do not work for this company or send your loved ones to their facility because it's a "for-profit" agency that has no interest in the care of its patients and their employees are expandable. 
The nursing management team are very unprofessional and the culture is based on who you are friends with. If you do your job well as a MHA and the patients appreciate your service the nurses will plot to get you out of the unit or they would have another MHA to manipulate a patient to get you in trouble with management. The turnovers are excessive because of the work reduction for full time MHA staff. Also, negative work environment, let alone that this company looks at every patient as a payday especially if the patient has good insurance. Therefore, if you hear anything about a job opening for this company and the position is for a MHA, RUN!

For starters, management does NOT care one bit about its employees. They fire people based off of rumors alone even if they bust their behinds for that company. Gossip and drama is everywhere. Even if you keep your head down and stay completely out of it, they will still tell lies about you and start rumors about you. I watched it happen a million times. As far as resident care goes, they are fed portions that aren't even big enough for a toddler, the food is absolutely disgusting and most residents starve themself rather than eating that awful food, they are always starving, their rooms are never cleaned (Nor is that entire facility. That place looks like a crack house), residents are left in the nude and soaked in their own feces, and overall they are completely neglected. Management hires people on false advertisements. They will tell you whatever you want to hear to get you to accept the job. For your sake DO NOT WORK HERE. I promise you it will be the biggest mistake you will ever make. 

Pay is good compared to other community agencies however the slightly higher salary is just not worth risking your own mental health. You are required to wear 10 different hats which is great to gain experience but you will quickly burn out. The PTO is a joke (you gain less than 1 full day off per month) and the health benefits are impossible to afford for you and your family. Management attempts to support but  just adds more to your plate with each staff meeting. Management is reasonable at times with your time off but at other times they give you grief about not being available more hours than you are actually getting paid for. If they provided more PTO and were actually encouraged to use it, then maybe it would be worth it. But there is nowhere to advance in your position and your yearly raises aren't worth another year of stress. Not to mention it's a guarantee that more than once you will be pressured or even forced to do something that could risk your license. Not worth it.

I have worked for StoneCrest Center for over 3 years now and I've got to say, it's one of the best social work jobs that I have had as a MSW. Stonecrest Center is a for-profit agency which is a positive as this assists with job security, safety of the facility, competitive salary + benefits, as well as the constant upgrade of the hospital services (i.e. adding new technology, sensory rooms, clinical products/games to assist special needs to help us run more smoothly). They continuously are adding more activities/opportunities for the patients (most importantly) but also their staff. The hours that I work are typical 9-5 but the supervisors are flexible with special conflict as needed. My favorite part of my position is that we work very independently without supervision babysitting our every move. I would highly recommend submitting your resume and joining our team, we also eat A LOT of free cupcakes! :)

The atmosphere when you first walk into the building is just uneasy! Just because its a mental health facility doesn't mean that the performance of the employees should be so robotic and disingenuous. The supervision and staffing is filled with clearly burned out individuals with very snarky dispositions. The impression presented is disgruntled; that's maybe why the turnover rate is so high! This establishment does offer benefits for fulltime employees but the prices are RIDICULOUS! One would believe because of the field of work that the benefits would be reasonable but that isn't the case. The true highlight of employment here is decent compensation, heavily offered OT and FREE unlimited beverages. All in all, do the opposite of Nike and JUST DON'T DO IT! 

Everyday it's chaos because the facility has a very high acuity patient load. They admit every person that has been rejected at other facilities. It's a dumping ground for the criminally insane. Stonecrest denies workers the right to be in a safe environment and encourages patients to terrorize staff by ensuring to them that the staff has no rights at all.  Your major goal at work is praying not to be beaten up by a patient. The management literally hates their employees and lies to their faces as a regular part of the massive disrespect that happens there daily.  The parent company, Acadia, is the worst in the business and mandates punitive punishment for every suspected offense. They hold hiring fairs every month and lose 99% of all new hires before they even finish orientation. Don't risk it. Stay away or learn from the worst experience that you could ever have, that working there is a mistake.
