It is frustrating to me to think about if only we could have come here three years ago where our progress could be. From the moment I made the first call the staff has been respectful and helpful. Helping guide me on my unexpected journey. Between doctors, insurances, my daughter's school - no matter the situation the staff at Barrett Family Wellness has always been there for me and my family. When it comes to the well being of my child I would not settle for anything but the best and that is exactly what I have found at Barrett Family Wellness.

Yes Five Stars. Not given lightly. My father first used this company because of a friend's…read morerecommendation a year ago. He had just had a pace-maker installed and needed help at home. Complete Private Home Care sent out various people to handle everything we needed, carefully following his Primary Care Physician's list. This included an initial consult with Sue and then Danielle the nurse in charge of all the other aides and therapists. I know their names because I had to use them again after my father ended up in the hospital again this time with pneumonia. I didn't have much experience with home health workers when I hired Complete Home Health. However because of my age (mid 50s) I have had too much experience with my friend's parent's aides and assisted living situations. Also I had to oversee aides in Texas for my grandparents. So while I had not personally hired but one aide before (freelance--without an agency--also a friend's recommendation) I do feel able to award those five stars. What sets them apart? First they are very professional. I think perhaps because they are a smaller company, they are on top of each of their clients. They always knew who I was, and who my dad was and which workers were involved in his care. The co-ordinator Jon has a handle on all the clients. Next, the Administrative nurse has a great list of caregivers she can call upon. My father had problems swallowing and was prone to inhalation pneumonia, the therapists helped him learn strategies for eating. Physical therapists taught him to get him up walking again, home assessors came for safety. Further, they took a huge load from my shoulders by communicating with my father's Primary Care Physician at Harvard, so I did not need to still be in charge of all that on top of all the rest I was in charge of. Finally, all the people were loving and I never worried someone would steal from us or hurt my dad. They demonstrated far more patience than frankly, I had left in me. They suggested intelligent solutions to home problems such as different pill containers, cutting back shrubs for ease on stairs, removing certain roll around chairs, etc. They responded Immediately, and were able to be at the house within 4 hours of suddenly learning he was being released from rehab. When I was forced to hire them for out of pocket 24 hour care, they were able to make this far more affordable by charging for blocks of hours. Because we had installed 2 Drop-cams we could see that the 24 hour aides were never more than 20 feet away. This is a fabulous company. Hire them and feel safe. If you are like me, you need it.

I personally was admitted here on a voluntary circumstance after having a mental colapse from…read moremalnutrition. I will say their food regiment is top notch, I gained 20lbs from being allowed to eat all sorts of good food. My only gripe is that these guys embody the phrase "land of the free, home of the brave". Your free to go here, but good luck not being milked into a prolonged stay. COVID restrictions make family rescuing you very difficult. The human rights officer thankfully was my only saving grace and ironically was the only legally obligatory role at a mental institution (their words, not mine). The whole experience felt like it was crafted to feed into psychosis, at one point 2 "employees" walked together and one came toward the patient area after mentioning a drug's name (basically curated to make patients think they were in a controlled setting) -- the admission for her being 99% not ordinary compared to other patients. The other patients there for adults seemed rather nice despite varying levels of social disorders/disconnect. During my stay I literally felt that I was growing as a person despite the mentally taxing circumstances. The oddest thing was my mental circumstances being such that I could do things that under normal circumstances I physically would never be able to do. If you go in with psychosis, you will definitely go to the extreme of thinking that you are special and then be brought back to earth to behave like a normal person solely to be discharged. If you go in thinking that paranormal activity is a hoax, you will definitely leave believing that paranormal things have happened to you. Overall I actually wish I could go back to confirm things. Their staff (mental health technicians) are all very good in different ways, thus the good rating. Their drawback is the questionable methods used to keep people there for prolonged times (I was literally coerced into taking a new drug as a condition of discharge --the drug proceeded to make me unable to function normally and I had to emotionally breakdown into tears to make myself able to sit down and fill out discharge paperwork, the drug then proceeded to give me blurred vision when I failed to remember to go to the Pharmacy to get meds that would have fought the side effects... I was subsequently brought to another mental health establishment because I was too restless to sleep).

They threatened my 7 year old with a needle and told him that his parents said that they could use one if needed, when we did NOT and would never agree to that. They messed up his medication twice, and gave him other medication to calm him which again was NOT approved by his parents first. There was no communication about what was going on during the entire time my son was at this hospital, and it took two months to get records sent to us once he was discharged.
