    Hi Andrea! Thank you for your question. We are open 24/7 and are generally able to send out one of our Care Managers for a free care consultation M-F 8AM to 5PM. From there, we can typically start care within 24-48 hours. That's a long way of saying…

They kept us fully informed of all her care. She was washed daily and bedding and clothing changed daily. All of our family was welcomed into their family. The nurses were extremely kind, honest, and conscientious in her care. The food delivered looked and smelled good. Parking can be difficult as it's public street parking with a two hour limit resulting in many trips to move our cars. Don't believe any one star reviews without clear examples of mistreatment while slandering staff. Crazy tirades on Yelp are not helpful.

She never walked again and the lack of appropriate care lead to her choosing medical aid in dying. They failed to return her pill dispenser and meds including opioids when she was transferred home. They never changed her out of her same pajamas the whole 10 days. Would not recommend unless no other option and then only for end of life care. Oh and for this, had to pay out of pocket $200/day and even for the full day despite being transferred home by 8 AM. When confronted, the staff and administrator was defensive and reluctantly helpful getting belongings and meds back- we had to make several trips back there.

    After years being responsible for providing caregiving and establishing services for my mother and…read morenow my sister, who requires 24 hour care, I highly recommend CrossRoads for home care services. My sister was in an assisted nursing care facility for 6 months, and the thought of her continuing to reside in a similar environment was heartbreaking. While there, the numerous and almost monthly visits to the ER due to UTIs, inadequate doctor and care oversite, lack of consistent and timely drug and therapy services was truly unacceptable for her health. My sister is now living with my family in our home, and CrossRoads has allowed us to find an alternative path to her care along with using other support teams. From CrossRoads, we received scheduled physical, occupational and nursing services. Their exceptional services have allowed my sister to remain in a home environment and us to build a secure loving environment for her long-term care. I have used other home care services, and would consistently request for CrossRoads services. Her medical needs are addressed by a caring, effective, reliable, proactive and incredible staff at CrossRoads. I could not have asked for a better team to help with this unprecedented emotional and physical challenge my family has undertaken. Our physical therapist Jason, engages, motivates and physically prepares my sister for mobility and flexibility and encourages her to maintain and maximize her existing mobility. My sister enjoys their conversations. He is responsive, consistent and timely. We could not have asked for a better partner in providing the physical and emotional support my sister and my family require. He is simply the best and anyone would be lucky to have him on their team. I worked with Shanel, nurse and case manager, for both my mother's and sister's home care. She is incredibly responsive and experienced in addressing the medical needs that arise. She is proactive in recommending solutions and next steps, all of which provides assurance that as medical needs arise, they will be addressed immediately. Shanel de-escalates the stress and uncertainty surrounding medical situations. Shanel provides the confidence that home care is a viable and very workable situation in partnering with my sister's medical team. It's very obvious that Shanel enjoys her work and patients, and truly focuses on the customers' needs. When my sister arrived at our home, Sabrina, Occupational Therapist, immediately identified tools, equipment and recommendations that provided additional comfort to my sister and to our family and support caregivers in mitigating our physical demands. She was incredibly efficient and facilitated accommodating our needs immediately with her experience and resources. I feel our sister received the best care from Sabrina and CrossRoads in tailoring our home as effectively as possible in maximizing my sister's care. Equally important as the effective direct skills of the CrossRoads staff, is the intangible support they provide my sister and to us. We don't feel alone in caregiving, many times a heartbreaking process. We feel there is an incredible team available to support the care of my sister. My sister is engaged and enjoys interacting with the entire staff providing for good moments.

We've had excellent care from Caroline Noel, Physical Therapist, and Serge LaFuente, RN. Both visited regularly and were super sensitive to my husband's needs despite the fact that he is a "difficult" patient. The nurse in particular has devoted extra time to us, and seems determined to see evidence of healing. Our physical therapist, Ms Noel, seemed to have a special understanding of my husband's situation that helped reduce his pain whenever she visited. I also appreciated Kyle Yenko 's friendliness and care for our situation.

    This review is based on just one home visit under their Mother and Baby Home Health Services…read moreProgram. They are affiliated with CPMC. I give this program five stars because of the nurse who came to my house. Her name is Emily Skaff and she is so terrific. The way she talks and explains things is so soothing and she just seems like a person who genuinely enjoys what she does. She had such a gentle nature both my husband and myself really enjoyed talking with her. As first time parents, we don't know much so we asked a bunch of questions. She answered them all. She offered to check out my stitches but I said it's ok. So the home nurses do everything: physical assessment of baby and mom, and wound care for episiotomy if you want. For nurse Emily, I give her five stars on her home visit. It cost $290, by the way. If you get her to do your home visit, you are lucky! She was here for about an hour. She brought a lot of stuff and also a scale to weigh the baby. She cleaned everything off with antibacterial gel afterward. I think Emily is wonderful.

My…read moredad's experience as the patient and my experience as the person doing all the coordination and making sure my dad gets what he needs as been awful. The staff changes all the time and they don't communicate with each other. They let my dad run out of supplies and left him in the wrong set up over the weekend. Then they told me that they couldn't order the right supplies. This was after they'd been "caring" for him for many months. There have been several other serious issues that I won't detail in this review. If you have any other option, use that instead of Sutter.

    I've been cared for by health link in three phases and the first two were difficult, but the most…read morerecent one was worst. This last time I was admitted into care a specific physical therapist treated me like I was lying or making excuses for not being able to walk yet. I was still using my wheelchair, and I was barely able to walk across the street, or outside. I've had four surgeries on my legs, and before that, repairs failed, and before that, I had delayed care while the worldwide infection took place. I suffered significant muscle wasting the first two years and probably each time I suffered a setback in my recovery. I truly don't know why I'm still having difficulties with my mobility since 6 years ago, and it's not just my legs, it my whole body. With that being said, I was bullied and questioned the majority of the latest time with healthlink. Kenneth asked me why it's been six years and I still don't walk right. He repeated that I need to do my exercises, that I gotta do the rehab. That was his literal only concern. If you guys had the ability to monitor my activity 24 hours a day you'd have seen just how much exercise I have done. My body has changed shape since first getting admitted in 2023 and still so changes, I kept getting the third degree about my pt sessions. I did them all. I think the problem was, they didn't accurately assess my needs. They saw a non skinny person with major mobility issues and assumed that I was just fat and lazy, I say this because their main feedback was always, "lose weight" "move". I move daily, I've lost fat mass these last 6 years too and so their "concerns" landed very judgmentally, and very unhelpful, and very traumatizing. I still haven't taken a shower since the last time Healthlink came in to assist with a sponge bath, which was June or early June and I still can't go upstairs to shower. I have explained all the problems that I notice with my body, did all the work, did all the stuff recommended, and they seemed to not be satisfied. It's like they wanted my body progress on their time. I fully don't know what's happening. I don't know how much actual atrophy I have but standing in place makes me sweat no matter the weather, it can be cold cold, and the effort of standing still makes me sweat, because it is very difficult. If standing in place is difficult, just imagine how hard all the other stuff is? I told Kenneth, and Emily, and the female nurse who came, and all three never actually heard me out. They didn't ask me questions about my mobility, they didn't investigate why I might be having such a hard time. I did all the work assigned except for sit to stands, and those always made my knees feel like they were ripping apart. There were a lot of problems with my hands too, and the tissue damage I have is still there. I'm still using my brace, I still haven't returned to my normal weightlifting which was already not that much, I was exercising to the full limit daily and continue to do so even if the intensity is less than before while my hand issues heal. My case is difficult and I'm doing all I can to recover, and still so, these last three individuals treated me like I wasn't trying, like I was lying about my recovery, like I was lying about the efforts. I have been having flashbacks about the their lack of real effort to figure out how to go about my physical therapy. Shout out to the other two male physical therapists who did in fact give me very good feedback during my sessions with them, but sadly they don't work there anymore. I'm sad that the experience went from really great, to really bad, and the thing that made me write this is that I felt bullied despite giving it my all. I feel right now like my body is just barely ready to get back outside, because when I need to rest, my body feels like it's struggling to keep the body together, intact. It feels like my muscle structure is struggling to keep it's integrity. I got let down by the few individuals who decided I didn't even try. One of the latest nurses actually asked me in her words in a very demeaning and taunting tone, "well did you even try to go back to outpatient? Did you actually try to make it?" That's when I realized, these people don't believe I'm this delicate, they think I'm lying. I was so sad and hurt. It's just so low. Thanks for the good parts. The occupational therapists are very good, thanks Carrie for you assistance and insight. Thanks so very much for the good care and times at least. I just feel like you guys gotta train better and stop assumptions. I'm just very very disappointed.
