Skagit Behavioral Health 406 South 1st Street, Mount Vernon, WA 98273

"Always very personable, genuine very nice."

"This facility treats patients like human beings. Doctors, psychiatrists, and case workers see my loved on every day. Likewise, they allow my loved one to have comforts to make her stay enjoyable. When I visit my loved one, I am met with a smiling staff who gladly drops what they're doing to provide us a private room. They call me and my loved one by name. Smokey Point met me twenty minutes late every visit, screened me with a metal detector like I'm in a prison, and referred to the patients as "inmates." I strongly recommend Skagit Valley, and encourage you to request a transfer to this facility. If there was one complaint, it would be inconsistent food preparation. My loved one is a vegan, and the food is often sent with cheese or eggs. When returned, the food prep staff sends a plate without any substitutes, but the same ticket stating she received the correct Calorie and Carb. intake. That being said, when I asked about this, the doctor approved for me to bring my loved one some vegan friendly snacks. She can ask for a snack if her provided meal did not meet balanced status. Again, these people treat the patients like human beings."
