Ukiah’s new 16-bed mental health center is up and running

UKIAH, CA., 10/29/26 — A new live-in mental health treatment center in Ukiah has taken in its first residents. “This is the first time I’ve come to this meeting to say that it’s running,” Tim Schraeder, chief executive of Anchor Health Management, told Mendocino County’s Behavioral Health Advisory Board on Oct. 21. “So the water’s turned on, and the lights are on and everything.”

Anchor’s Mental Health Rehabilitation Center has 16 beds. About eight are filled, Schraeder said. A couple of residents are in acute care right now, and he expects one to return to the facility.
