After his death I received so many text messages telephone calls, letters with my name incorrect . After the first telephone call I explained that I did not need assistance, I was doing fine and already had all the resources necessary to deal with my husband's death. I requested to stop calling me or sending messages. However, the saga continued, very frustrating and my request to stop contacting me was disregarded. Probably the people calling have a spread sheet and need to put a mark on it. It is not about the person who just lost her husband but about getting points for their job.

My 5 STAR RATING IS BASED ONLY ON THE NEW DIRECTOR CHARLENE. They are on their 3rd director since…read moremy loved one has been in this facility. My opinion is they finally hired the proper director. She is experienced in the operational side and has worked in many areas. She is educated and committed to the residents care. Charlene has a strong sense of family and community. She communicates effectively to family members and staff. She is hands on,and spends quality and sincere time with the residents. She has a keen sense of the residents and staff. What more could one ask for in a director. Charlene's wisdom and inner as well as outer smiles are easily absorbed in the facility and among family members. She is easy to approach. Hopefully she will be recognized for her dedication, authenticity and work ethic. My experience in the past 2 and half years at this facility has been less than average, due to lack of trust with the head of the nursing,and difficulty dealing with corporate( a help line doesnt get me to the proper people, and they remain behind the scenes collecting paychecks , not concerned about the customer thats paying big bucks).

I heard back from Crystal almost immediately and she could not have been more professional, helpful, and caring. She was careful to get all the information she needed, including what would be most useful for my family member, but was incredibly efficient. We needed home care the next day and she set everything up within a few hours. The following morning the most extraordinary aide came to spend the day with my family member. Professional, kind, and skilled, she went above and beyond to be helpful and was truly a lifesaver. From the moment I called and throughout our entire experience with them, we felt taken care of and cared for. Though my family member is feeling much better now and no longer needs care, we feel so lucky to have their number at hand if and when we should ever need them again. It's really scary when you need this kind of support last minute. They truly are a comfort. Highly recommend.

I stayed at Collingswood for about 2 months around June 2025. First of all, their website's…read more"testimonials" do not reflect reality at all. I strongly suspect that they are made up or seriously embellished. My own experience is that the facility is awful in amost all respects. The diaysis team was competent. However, perhaps because I am on dialysis, there was little time for physical rehab. The rehab techs seemed to be satisfied with 20 minutes a day, but they didn't work with me at all on dialysis days (MWF). Nobody worked with me in my room, ever. Sometimes the food was okay, but typically not, and the staff frequently served meals that did not match my choices. Sometimes we didn't have the necessary flatware for them. The nursing assistants were average at best, and a few were absolutely nasty. I even had to have one of them prohibited from "caring" for me. At least management was quick to intervene when called upon. My worst memories involve transportation: I would be returned after dialysis to the space next to the "nurse's" station and have to wait there, unable to transport myself, while the people behind the desk ignored me for up to 45 minutes before someone, presumably the loser, would take me back to my room and lift me into bed. This kind of experience is not limited to Collingswood--every "skilled nursing facility" is basically the same. I have been to four of them so I know. After I left Collingswood, I quickly found out that I was in no condition to manage Daily Activities of Life and had to return to the hospital. Thankfully, I managed to transfer to MedStar-Georgetown hospital, and from there to the National Rehabilitation Hospital in D.C., also a MedStar-associated facility. I was on my feet and walking out of there 11 days later!

I was instantly comfortable with their management approach, their medical expertise, their wealth of information & resources, their creativity in solving problems, their generosity of time and senior product sourcing, and more. Most importantly, I was truly touched by all of the heart that went into not only meeting my dad, assessing his needs, detailing and implementing some very creative medical and home comfort solutions, and making a very difficult path in life eased by support and compassion at every step. My wonderful dad, who wanted anything BUT around the clock care, was very skeptical at first, and assured us all that he didn't need any help. By the end, he was calling his aide "his buddy," was telling jokes and showing extreme gratitude to the whole team, and not only accepted his need for help, but realized he was getting the best help possible. Also - they literally meet you where you are in the process. I'm super organized and made my own spreadsheets for tracking medicines & daily routines, but Andrea provided invaluable guidance on how to optimize Dad's care from every possible angle. Steve did a home safety inspection before Dad came home to ensure Dad was safe at home. They did so much for us... I cannot recommend Medical Consulting & Management highly enough. Don't wait to call; don't bother researching competitors; there's no one like them in town. Trust me, I did the research; I have the spreadsheets to prove it; I would call them in an instant if I ever needed help for a loved one.
