Overview

Direct Supply® has demonstrated exceptional procurement capabilities in the behavioral health sector. These capabilities were used to support the enhancement of environments at Crestwood Behavioral Health, a 100-bed Mental Health Rehabilitation Center and Psychiatric Health Facility located in San Jose, California.

Challenge

Crestwood San Jose faced challenges with dated aesthetics, mismatched furniture and general wear-and-tear that affected functionality and ambiance of their space and did not align with the organization’s trauma informed and homelike environments. Crestwood sought to revitalize its space to promote a healing environment and improve quality of care.

Solution

Streamlined Procurement Process

Direct Supply implemented a streamlined procurement process that covered everything from product selection to the final installation touches, including debris removal. The process was designed to ensure that every detail was meticulously managed, aligning with the facility’s needs and budget constraints.

Revitalizing to Follow Trauma Informed Design

Crestwood has been revitalizing their facilities to follow trauma informed design. This involved creating homelike and healing environments. Laura Valdivia (Crestwood, Project Manager), selected Direct Supply as a partner to achieve their vision. Our team was able to help her find the right durable, commercial-grade furniture in soothing hues that would help Crestwood achieve their vision. This partnership resulted in a refreshed space that is conducive to healing and care, leveraging the practices of trauma informed design.
