Staff are overwhelmed and overworked but they (all but 1 so far) consistently show genuine caring and respect for the people they serve. Unfortunately for all, it appears administration is hell bent on saving $ on the backs of those at the bottom of the hierarchy. There are13 residents in my family member's cottage and on holidays and weekends, there's often only one caregiver on duty. They get to say it's legal because they have 'floaters' supposedly providing coverage to multiple residences. My relative's toilet has been plugged the last 2 times Ive visited and I have had to plunge it until it clears. Multiple rooms have the same issue. Over Christmas, they ran out of tissues and paper napkins so brown paper towels for Christmas meals?! Families needto stay vigilant and document the stains on the floors that stay there for weeks because maintenance department couldn't care less and apparently aren't expected to care or repair. So dissatisfied after hearing The Cottages wasn't great but was at least decent. Not anymore.

They make it look good on the first day then it is all downhill from there. The nurses came into my room like I was in the army. And, that I was doing this and I was doing that. I will admit I was intimidated but, if you push back, they will leave you alone. Now on the flip side if you need anything their favor excuses are "I have to work in the kitchen" or " I am busy". All they are doing in the kitchen is putting the FROZEN FOOD into the oven or microwave. My favorite interaction with a staff member is when I was sitting at the table and the staff member asked me if I wanted to be fed. Keep in mind I am 51 years old and both my arms work. It is my foot and back they don't work. She did it to humiliate me and they do it to all the residents the smallest thing they find out about a resident it turns into gossip. The table they have the residents eat at is so sticky and disgusting. The rooms are not made for someone who is handicapped if you want something bring a gripper or if you have very long arms you might be able to reach your stuff. Also, this place does not know what the word clean means. No, one cleans the rooms for the residents. The rooms have BUGS in them like flies,ants and other BUGS!!! They are suppose to give the residents showers twice a week, You get one every two weeks if your lucky. As, far the PT and OT staff they are ok. The best staff are the ones who work behind the scenes. Please if you love your love ones DO NOT PUT THEM HERE..

She was left sitting in stool and urine for hours and hours at a time . One time 5 hours left soiled . One of the staff at night told her that she had orders it was ok to get out of bed to her commode she even thou she was laying in still she could not change her. As a nurse myself this is abuse to any pt. The bladder scanner she was told was broken so they could not scan her anymore but yet if the doctors orders are to do so she should of been transferred out of the facility if they could not follow md orders. Every time I complained the some staff members were mean to here and rough when they did change her brief some times just removing the brief and rushed to wipe her down after sitting in urine. I was told by Heidi the nurse that mom my was straight catheter and bladder scanned every shift and yet my mom was alert and orient when I challenged that Heidi told me I know what I'm reading in her chart I stated someone is documenting for task that haven't been performed in days! Terrible place never again state informed and I pray the state goes in and sites them on tons of violations Yelp makes me add a star before posting this place deserves no stars. And if you are wondering why I didn't take her out of there I did I live in another state flew to ny and got her out !

I spoke with Cheryl in their office, begging her to send a nurse to look at it even though I saw one just two days ago. I have a hx of cellulitis in that leg, even from small wounds like that and I am a diabetic. She refused, saying "it's not a thing." Cheryl kept talking over me and refused to shut up so I hung up on her. I even swore at her, which I wish I didn't do but I am scared about what could happen to me. My next scheduled nursing visit is in 5 days. A lot can happen in 5 days. As a medical professional she should know this! The front of the folder they gave me says "Call us first. We may be able to help you avoid unplanned hospitalizations if we know you need our help." That's a big fat lie. I wouldn't recommend Centerwell Home Health to my worst enemy, even my ex-husband.

In fact, she seems stronger and more independent than before she went into the hospital in November. Best of all, she loved each and everyone of the visiting health care professionals. Also, it gave us great peace of mind to have a nurse on call 24/7. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to the health care providers at Kindred at Home and highly recommend the agency.

The few times I've visited for myself or for other people the staff were all over the place. Nobody was on the same page. Each time the staff would come in with no real information and made no real attempt to inform the patient of any news updating them on their situation. I've waited in an almost completely empty emergency room before for over four hours with no information on when I'd be seen or how long the wait could possibly be. I just wish that this hospital had more updated systems and a more friendly and productive staff.

Every time I was treated well by nursing and administrative staff and see that they have a lot to deal with, as every time I've been there has been police bringing in unruly people, some drunk, etc. They have a lot to deal with and do a great job! I was not so impressed with the doctor I saw on the first visit. He basically laughed at me wondering why I thought I might have a blood clot and then went on to laugh at me for taking vitamins and supplements and said I was wasting my money. Ummm...mind your own business? The second time I saw an NP, who was professional and took care of the issue. The third time a saw a PA who pretty much dismissed what I was there for and did not address the issue. Thankfully I was able to see my doctor shortly after that who did scan the area to see what was actually going on. So a mixed bag when it comes to doctors/NP's/PA's. It's not like I like to be at the ER late at night when I could be in bed at home. I went because I felt like I actually had an issue. Additionally, I'm self-pay. So if it was nothing I would obviously wait to see my doctor for $100 rather than go to the ER at least $1000 a pop every time I go.
