We were very clear what his needs were and she said it was not a problem and they could care for him. Four days after my father moved in the administration said they could not care for him. That was such discouraging news after we were told they could care for him. The staff is unpleasant and appear to not enjoy their jobs. Most could barely say hello when passing in the hall. The administrator is passive aggressive. She will twist any concerns and make the family the bad guys. After several months of misery for our father and us we are so happy our father is no longer there. He was in rough shape due to their lack of care. His is thriving in his new facility. Tatnuck Park had a great reputation many years ago. Not so much now.

Our mother was admitted to Bear Mountain Hospice Sudbury shortly after a fall that resulted in an…read moreinoperable hip fracture. The admission process went well and the staff appeared to accommodate her needs well. Her condition deteriorated quickly and we were not made aware of how critical her state was until it was too late . She passed away before we had a chance to say Good-bye. There was a definite lack of communication about the seriousness of her condition. After her passing, we were due a refund for care services paid in advance. The amount of the refund was confirmed on 12/13/23 and, after multiple calls and almost daily emails requesting a status of the refund, our mother's estate has still not received the refund check. (This is as of 2/8/24.... almost 2 months since the amount had been agreed on.) Emails and voice messages requesting a status of the payment consistently went unanswered and infrequent responses often pointed at others within the organization rather than providing us with the information requested. We even emailed the CFO, asking for his help with getting someone within his organization to respond to our request, and never received a response. We found the staff at Bear Mountain lacking in communication as well as follow-through on administrative issues. Because of these issues, we would not recommend Bear Mountain Sudbury as a hospice care facility.

My mother had to stay there (Sudbury) for almost six months and passed away there. I visited her…read moreevery day, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. During that time I saw quite a view very concerning things. The bottom line is that many of the socalled caregivers there don't really care at all about the residents. They are there to collect a paycheck, period. So many times I would see "caregivers" at the nurses station chatting away while patients would call and call for help, and the chatters could even be bothered for a minute or two to attend to the patients calling for help. Several times I would go up to a nurse to ask for help for my mother and I was told, "That's not my job." and there would be no other nurses or aids in sight for a long time. The communication there between staff and caregivers is terrible -- I would try to convey important info about my mother to a caregiver, asking that he and she would please make sure that the other caregivers would be informed, and it never, ever happened. My mother was ignored completely for long periods as she declined. This is NOT a good place, it's awful -- do all you can to find better care for your loved one.

It was important to us that we buy from a company with a local presence and after much research, we decided on Able Home Accessibility. They were a pleasure to deal with and we were able to try a chair in their showroom. They were able to quote us on the spot based on a photo we provided and when they came in person to measure, they realized we could get away with a configuration that would save us $1500 and didn't hesitate to tell us. The prompt installation and an additional visit to tweak the system was very professional. We're very satisfied. Thanks to Matt, Ryan, Connor and Chris - you're all great!
