Hi everyone, my name is Beth.. and I just discharged from Cornerstone of Southern California and I…read morehave to say that my experience there, from my detox residential to PHP to IOP has been such a positive influence on my drug and alcohol issue that I have battled with for many years. The whole entire staff are friendly and loving and most of all they care about their clients. I have been discharged with so much education and relapse prevention skills. And another wonderful aspect is that they have a wonderful alumni group of people that get together every last Monday of every month to celebrate all the people that have gone through their program, and they offer super fun activities, so we all can stay connected and thrive in our recovery. I give Cornerstone a 10 + review..

We are so happy to hear that Doctor Herring has returned to Cornerstone. Our attorney referred us…read moreto her 13 years ago. We are eternally grateful for her and Cornerstone and their Alternative sentencing program. She was there for us in our scariest moments and stood by our family through it all! She was truly a guardian angel and has helped thousands of people and their families. Dr. Herring continues to stay in contact with us and shows us nothing but genuine love and support! We LOVE her and are so grateful for her support through all the court proceedings and her heart and compassion. She has become part of our family! We'd recommend Cornerstone to anyone that needs substance abuse and mental health treatment who have legal charges.

He made me feel heard and understood exactly what I was going through. He gave me really great advice and knowledge on addiction. Unfortunately, we weren't able to go with them because of insurance reasons but, he was very helpful, attentive and reassuring. If pacific sands is anything like Conor than I know anyone who comes here will be in great hands.

I just want to say that Tommy the administrator that we contacted is an amazing caring person. We…read morewere lost confused and honestly scared. We had no idea what to do. Even though Pacific Sands wasn't right for our situation Tommy contacted and got us in contact with people who were. He followed up with us even though he had no reason to. I can honestly say Tommy is exactly where he needs to be doing exactly what he is doing. I can only imagine that if this is the first experience with this facility the rest has to be just as amazing. I can never in a review express how much you helped us. Thank You

She ensures a true focus on both quality care and quality of life. Care Choices is fortunate to have her on their team!

I was grossly disappointed with Care Choices' Hospice service. To start with, their contract and…read moremarketing materials are materially misleading, and internally inconsistent, in terms of the care that they actually provided. Their representative rushed me through the sign-up process without any clear explanation of the services that they were going to provide. Specifically, their communication to the parties involved (Assisted Living, the attending physician, and me) was vague, ambiguous, inconsistent, and confusing at a time when job descriptions should be crystal clear. It is Care Choices' responsibility to coordinate care and especially to make sure that "their" patient is being properly attended to. Hospice services are not just to provide a hospital-style bed and a wheelchair. As a direct result of Care Choices' lack of clarity, the Hospice service was waiting for the attending physician to treat, the attending physician was waiting for Hospice to treat, and the family was waiting for the patient to receive necessary care on a prompt basis. As it was, the patient's care was overly delayed, which caused the patient medical distress and the family members completely unnecessary emotional distress.

Although we didn't end up using Chamberlain Care, I wanted to write this review to highlight the…read morereasons why anyone looking for caregiving services should put Chamberlain Care at the top of their list. Sarah Underwood brought her warm smile, calming disposition, and expertise to me and my family during an uncertain time. Sarah explained the process, offered a "what we could expect," and answered a plethora of questions regarding caregiving. My family was not 100% sure of the direction we were going to take with my mom since moving to a different state was also an option. Sarah did not pressure us and gave us the time we needed to make the best decision for my mom.. and dad, who at 90 wanted to still take care of everything on his own. As it happened, my mom ended up being admitted to the hospital and then transferred to a rehab center. When Sarah found out where, she paid a visit to my mom in the facility, held her hand and had a good talk. She completely didn't have to, but did anyway. FYI.. I have a picture of their two beautiful smiles! And if that wasn't enough, I was having a tough time getting in touch with a representative at the facility (since I live out of state) Sarah came to the rescue. She got a hold of someone to reach out to me. Sarah Underwood is wonderful- inside and out and a beautiful representation of the company's standard of care. Families first, and it shows!

Terrible service! I met with someone who seemed nice and took down all my information, most…read moreinsistent about the billing information. After being texted, "I'm creating the care plan now and we will keep you posted," I didn't hear from them for three days. Then, while I'm beginning my day of caregiving for my loved one the doorbell rings and, SURPRISE!, their caregiver arrived without any announcement or warning. I was completely shocked and when the caregiver (who was nice) called the office who talked me into letting her stay. Of course, instead of the respite I wanted, now I had to deal with an upset loved one and an unplanned arrival. This actually made this one of the worst days I've had in a long time because I had no idea anyone would show up. I should have sent her away but I was too flummoxed to think straight. Anyway, Chamberlin did make sure to charge my credit card for this unwanted, unrequested visit. I canceled the contract and highly recommend against dealing with this company. In fact, now I'm kind of afraid to even ask for help again knowing that the first time I turned out to be quite a hindrance rather than assistance. ADDENDUM: After this review was posted I was contacted by the owner of the company who wanted me to remove this review. He offered a refund if I would take it down. I felt that to be an ethics violation and refused. He did seem sincere in wanting to make things right although the damage was done. I've re-read my original review and still vouch to its accuracy and honesty. I just learned a refund was issued without preconditions. My experience was still horrid but it's possible it was a learning experience for the company. (I personally learned nothing that will help my situation.) Anyway, I'm changing the rating from to two stars instead of one in with the hope this will not happen to someone else.

Each time that I spoke with her on each one of my appointments she offered me a refill, but I told her I didn't need one at that time because I still had some left. But when I notified them that I wanted to change Doctors because I was not comfortable with her they told me I could still get a refill since I was down to only two and I would need them and I couldn't see the new doctor for a month. So I called and asked for a few more just to make sure I had them so I can take them "as needed" or just have them in case I need them until I see the next doctor and even though she offered me refills several times she denied giving me a refill once she knew that I wasn't going to use her anymore and told me to just go ahead and go to the emergency room if I needed help. When she knows very well that the emergency room is not necessary for panic attacks. But the medication helps. It was basically her FU to me and retaliatory. Because she was mad that I was not going to want to use her anymore so she has decided that she was not going to give me a refill and basically told me to F off and go to the hospital if I needed help. Mind you that in 74 days of having the medication I only took eight. But she basically treated me as if I was some sort of pill seeker that just wanted more and more pills. When really in reality she knows very well that I'm just trying to make sure that I don't have to go to the hospital every single day and spend thousands of dollars at the hospital for panic attack attacks. She's very cruel and dismissive

I hate to just say "We're full - thanks for calling" because I know what finding a trusted place for your loved one is like. The least I can do is forward her contact information to people. We only work with local agents that personally have visited and know our facility. I refuse to work with certain larger companies that have no idea who we are, and what kind of care we provide at our facility! Suad toured our facility long before her first referral to us. I can say that she handled everything personally and professionally in her dealings with the resident's family, and with our facility. She followed up with all parties and treated everyone with fairness, patience and respect. While many of our clients call us directly, it can be a great asset to have someone who has toured and knows these facilities - especially these days with Covid-19 restrictions - many facilities are not accepting people and not touring. I haven't named our facility as I'm not looking to self promote - but feel free to contact me on yelp if you have any questions about Doctors Choice, Placement agents in general, or senior care facilities - Best of luck to you in this search!
