My Dad had a medical emergency and required hospitalization which now meant my Mom needed assistance. Most importantly immediate overnight care. I was in a complete panic as to what to do. I was referred to Nursing on Demand. I cannot begin to say how grateful and thankful I am. I spoke with Brenda right away and she was able to get someone immediately!! I was so relieved. Angela has been a god sent. Thankfully my Dad is finally coming home. I hope I never am in a situation like this again, but with elderly parents with medical issues it is inevitable. I will absolutely be calling Brenda again. The attention and care that Nursing on Demand provides is without a doubt the best thing you can do.

I was hopeful about going here for PT until I started treatment. The space is really beautiful and…read morethey are pretty quick to get you in for an initial appointment (you need a script from your PCP first though) After one evaluation and 2 sessions, I realized they weren't experienced with treating chronic pain even though they knew that's what I came in for. I ended up getting pretty hurt because in my second session my overzealous PT had me do some exercises that just weren't appropriate for where I am at. Although at that session she explained that they probably weren't a great fit for me because they aren't used to chronic pain, I just wish I was told that outright. Or even at the end of the evaluation. The plus side of this place is that, unlike most PT offices, there is a lot of space and privacy when you meet with a PT. I'm sure they do a decent job with the generic one time knee/whatever injury kind of pain but because of my experience I wouldn't recommend them to a friend. *Note, they aren't at 280 Washington St anymore- they're at 20 Guest St. Brighton in the New Balance Building

I have received PT from multiple agencies over the past 10 years, including Kennedy Bros, ProSports…read moreand Mt Auburn, for different issues. But I have never had such rapid relief as I did when treated by Keith Foley. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with a herniated cervical disc with impinged nerve. I went to PT for 6 months with little improvement, although I lost fitness when the therapist had me stop all other fitness activities. Since then, I have lived with chronic daily pain in my neck and shoulders, as well as frequent migraines, despite having tried dry needling, acupuncture, trigger point injections and therapeutic massage. Most recently, I developed shoulder pain from a presumed rotator cuff tear, for which I received PT from Keith. Keith bases his treatment approach on the MacKenzie and Maitland methods. Google it - it makes sense. His practice is patient-centric, focused on how the injury functions within the patient's daily activities, the patient's other symptoms and response to treatment. Treatment includes daily exercises, but also mindful postural resets to be practiced throughout the day, when sitting, typing, standing, walking, sleeping. For the first time, I have a movement plan to treat increased symptoms when they occurred, including when to use pain meds. Keith focuses on patient education, and always teaches the rationale behind his treatment. For the first time in years, I have pain free days. I am using about a third of the medication I needed when I started seeing him 2 1/2 months ago. Keith is professional, articulate, sensitive and intelligent. Not only does he check in with how I am doing during the treatment, but he will also answer questions by email between sessions. He has also suggested literature and videos to support his treatment. I cannot recommend Keith Foley highly enough. Note that Keith may travel between Spaulding locations, so be sure to check his availability before registering. The office at Brighton Landing is clean, and spacious, with ample space for therapy without feeling you are involved in other patient's business. Treatment rooms are three-walled, with a full curtain for privacy. Keyed lockers and a shower room are available. Parking is free with a validated ticket in the garage across the street. The location is convenient to Soldier's Field Rd/Storrow Dr., in the building across from WGBH. The office staff is courteous and competent. I have not had trouble getting my preferred early morning time slots; they are also opened in the evening. Initially I waited a week for my evaluation.

It's kept much cleaner than other facilities I've visited. That's it's best attribute. Care is…read morewildly inconsistent with basic needs such as access to water varying day by day. Weekends are particularly bad. Staffing is inconsistent and many are portly trained. An example of this is that some CNAs pick up patients by hand for bed to wheelchair transfers instead of using a Hoyer lift. If they DO use the Hoyer, many times it's only one person when it is supposed to be two. The administration will tell you this never happens, but they are flat out lying as I have witnessed it. I have seen patients who are on oxygen not being reattached after a transfer. Once again, you can raise these issues with nursing staff or even in team care planning meetings, but they will tell you it's untrue. I actually stood with a nurse in front of a patient who did not have their oxygen cannula on tell me that the patient was on oxygen! You just can't make this stuff up. Many times, you cannot reach a loved one OR their unit on the telephone, the first because the aids don't set up residents who are not ambulatory or able to get to things, the second because they are short staffed and/or inattentive. Patients are not always provided access to call bells. Personal items left in drawers, etc. are treated with disregard. For example, one might find their items smeared with toothpaste because an aid shoved an open tube into a drawer after use. I have seen open moisturizer packets tossed into bedside drawers where they then get smeared all over personal belongings. One might find their limited storage space (drawers and such) inundated with towels, diapers, pads, wipes, etc. which get left by one aid and not used by the next. The more care a loved one requires, the sloppier it gets. The administration will take a position that patient reports are undependable and that what family reports isn't actually true. I've rated this place a 2 ONLY because it is sadly better than many other places. That said, the fact that what should be considered baseline is often not met is disgusting. It is apparent that supervision is minimal because the things I've mentioned, along with countless others, can be and have been observed repeatedly.

For the good part...the first few months of a family member's stay, this place was acceptable. it's…read morevery clean, tidy and kept up. The grounds are meticulously cared for. The housekeeping staff does a great job and are very friendly. Especially Trish. She's very pleasant and social. Always striking up a conversation with our family member. She kept our family members private room clean at all times. The activities team, Valerie and Stacey go out of their way to make sure residents participate and have a good time. They also are very friendly and personable.I was very impressed with them. Chris the maintenance guy is very prompt when something needs attention. Also a very nice guy. Bob, the project manager, I believe, also very caring and understanding. One time He went out of his way to bring our family member to an eye appointment when transport and family members couldn't. Now the not so good. I won't name any names, but will mention their title. The nursing coordinator was fairly nice for first few months. But when our family member left his medical appointment in Boston (not a good choice to do) before his transport arrived, she turned not so nice. It's understandable of her concern and her duty to be sure residents are always safe. But we feel he was being continuously penalized for his wrong doing. The day after this incident (he went missing for several hours) she put him in a cramped room Way down the other end of the hall. She said it was for his safety sake because his private room was too small for him..that made no sense because the room they transferred him to, had 2 beds, one not being used, and just about the same size as his private room. Also, she would not allow him to venture out for a day with his sister, who did it weekly Up until this incident. She claimed he was an escape risk. He spent his Father's Day in the facility. This was his first Father's Day without his daughter, who had passed a few months earlier. His sister planned on a family day for him at her home, to help him from the pain of not having his daughter on this special day. This shows NO COMPASSION.also, She would not allow him to use transport for his medical appointments, even tho a family member would be meeting him when transport would arrive at the appointment. This is something that has been done since his admission here. A few times she raised her voice at his sister, when discussing certain matters. This is very unprofessional. The social worker is extremely condescending. She lacks people skills. And shows no empathy. I've dealt with many social workers, With my profession, so I am familiar with thier roles and the manners they should have. This one lacks manners. If she hadn't continued telling us and our family member that "he is his own person and can make his own decisions", he probably wouldn't have decided to leave his appointment before transport came and got lost in Boston! There have been several disagreements between her and our family members sister. She had an obvious dislike for his sister. one one of his final days there, Our family member's sister was sitting on the spare bed going through her phone while the doctor was behind curtains, tending to his wounds. he came from behind the curtain to discuss his condition, when all of a sudden He started saying she was unethical in recording him! She told him she was not recording him and was just checking her messages while she was waiting. she showed him her phone. He left our family member, without covering his wound and went to get the nursing coordinator, who then came into the room and scolded his sister, like a child. somehow the social worker became involved and refused to hear the whole story. His wound was not properly dressed until later that day. The next couple of days, our family member kept complaining of pain around his wound and was not feeling well in general. He asked to be transported to the closest hospital. I'm not sure who, but he was told he was fine and that he didn't need to go. 2 days later, his sister went to visit him and immediately saw that he had a fever and looked very I'll. He needed to go to an emergency room. She took him there herself. But before being able to leave the building, the nurse coordinator stepped in and made things difficult, wasting the time he should have been at the hospital. At the emergency room, it was determined he had a seriously bad infection, his wound was a stage 3 wound (stage 4 is the worst) and he could have died if he was not seen when he was. Needless to say, we removed him from Pine Knoll.
