We have had a wonderful experience there. My Mom has been in several times and each time the care…read morehas been amazing - thoughtful and kind. The staff really cares and is eager to implement ideas that may help the patient return to their baseline or better.

Good Evening All, I am writing to bring to your attention…read moreseveral incidents that occurred during my mother's stay at your facility, which I believe require further review and action. I have outlined the key situations below: Thursday, May 22, 2025 - Cellulitis Diagnosis and Treatment: On this day, my brother Andrew and I noticed that our mother was not feeling like herself. Andrew observed that her legs felt like they were on fire. I immediately informed Dr. King, who briefly examined her and diagnosed cellulitis, but did not provide any further details or explanation. Later that day, another provider confirmed the same diagnosis and began antibiotics, but there was no improvement by the following day. I then requested more aggressive treatment. The provider suggested starting ceftriaxone, but it took over two hours for this to be administered. After that, we saw significant improvement by the next day. (pictures attached) Friday, May 23, 2025 - Bathroom Assistance: While visiting Ruth, she needed assistance to use the bathroom. Winston, who came to help, initially assisted Ruth onto the toilet, but then left to tend to another patient. He was gone for so long that Ruth became distressed and started to cry. Despite pulling the emergency cord, no one came to assist her. Fortunately, another nurse eventually arrived to help, but this delay caused unnecessary distress to my mother. Request for Air Mattress: On Thursday, May 22, 2025, I requested an air mattress for my mother. I followed up on Friday and again on Saturday. Unfortunately, the mattress was not brought to her until late Sunday afternoon, which was an unacceptable delay given her condition. (picture attached) Bathroom Assistance and Nurse Interaction: On another occasion, a nurse assisted me in bringing my mother to the bathroom. However, once we arrived, Ruth was too fatigued to use the toilet. The nurse then left to attend to another patient. I was left to manage the situation, but when I tried to assist my mother in getting back onto the toilet, a different nurse entered and raised her voice at me. (the nurse was white and on the hefty side) She insisted that Ruth be returned to her wheelchair and put back to bed, even though I had already nearly helped Ruth onto the toilet. Sunday, May 25, 2025 - Fall Incident: On this date, Ruth fell and sustained injuries. The images of her injuries are attached for your reference. This incident is of particular concern, and I believe it warrants further investigation into the circumstances surrounding her fall. I am reaching out with the hope that these situations will be thoroughly reviewed and addressed. The care my mother received did not meet the standards I expect from a healthcare facility, and I would appreciate any steps that can be taken to ensure better care in the future.

In my experience with a family member, this Sober Solutions house in East Hartford is first and…read moreforemost a business, not a caring environment for individuals who have worked very hard for their sobriety. I don't think they put the health, needs, and sobriety of the residents first. Some of the people in charge seem to not know how to deal with the 'power' they have been given and lead with compassion. I would not recommend this house to anyone.

As both born w/corrupt people(all) when I as said all should given us time together when we younger.So from 1970-2022,52 yrs 4 me.daughters 39 & 32 now, 2 grandsons,I hardly know.They from day 1 conditioned them aas good people,sorry,1992 to now they could have stopped at least 35 yrs. ago if they needed Char, age 14 to give birth, or b4.So now they altered my whole body/stolen body parts/as said(revenge)at age 66 now & all have yet to stop/justice/fix all damage done as they decided to have this stupid time 4 themselves.I know at 24 broadway was time to stop.Lots of nice people in Colchester but knowing & going forward using Mj was dumb, he great entertainer,but inconsiderate just like all & what I want as letter wrote to bro matt to Backus 1992 IS NO WAY giving all "rights"as they think I made w/them.It was just words said as knew they would no way stop & they all sure as he** had fun.Their klonopin given at bway, etc...only prolonged,led to THEIR planned overdoes @ Backus, so now what??They have given me drugs at Col.housing apt.26,not in script,& much more,fake deaths,people incognito,Stole majority of things,moved me back to 283 Norwich ave. Col. just so I can be controlled,drugged,mentally & physically abused here just as was since about 1972,worst after 1980-hit,worst 1992-no stopped,Of course this all after planned to Htfd. hospital.by family who like said,likes control.Still does.I can not live here w/vocal cords/no clothes/messed up body/& ALL know this.They totally disabled me.Did they think I would be dumb & OD again?Never should have happened.Just tell me are both daughters okay,alive or controlled too?Great glad all enjoyed Ruth,Walts aunts/siblings crap/and all just love me & loved abusing & using both me & both daughters.Because CHR is w/family & for past year they have gotten THIS out of me,plus lots more.

I understand daughters might like relatives in there lives in future, I do not.Hope a civil lawsuit will not be necessary, but if have to....I know who will stand up for me. Rather have their non-sense over with as treated like I did wrong when know all have.What were ALL under contract? Nope,just majority of cronies were.And that mostly w/families plans.Ilike people in general & Colchester, just this never should have happened.After aunt said,"there is someone in CA. who thinks he is JC, now don't you think that's stupid?"Yes, but not as selfish as her,parents & their dumb book. Inconsiderate,selfish,knew in 8th grade w/their friend Mitch,then tech school not normal.Ever since little of course never molested,just different.Moved to Colchester & that too different.

So when all going to have a brain like the dumb scarecrow you played? How much longer must I suffer like this? Totally unjust & unfair to me & my daughters.so stop.History great,stop, it was not worth anything to steal my time etc.........

I have not personally used their services but have friends who speak very highly about CHR and have…read morereceived help from them. I attended a fundraiser for CHR last week and it was so obvious how much their leadership cares and wants to make a difference in the community and peoples lives. One board member lost their child to suicide and has since been a huge proponent of advocating for mental health and found CHR as his mechanism to support the effort. I strongly recommend seeking their services if you are in need of help from people who care.

My OB/GYN went out of business so I looked into an alternative path for medical care. I had the…read morepleasure of speaking with Dr. Tonya Pasternak at this location. She was very thorough on my first visit. I had never been to see a natural health practitioner prior to this visit, so I was pleasantly surprised. The wait was very minimal, but I must advise you THIS OFFICE DOES NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE, except for OB/GYN services (annual exams). I had a total of three visits. On the first visit she had me describe my health history, current symptoms, ordered specialty lab work, and then made some recommendations of things to complete by my follow up visit. On the second visit, I went over my recommended items, got the results of my lab work, and then she preceded to make 3 tinctures of medicinal remedy using flower extracts and recommended vitamin supplements. Within one month of my second appointment I felt much better, but was really unable to measure the results without doing more extensive follow-up lab work which I thought was pretty pricey and time consuming. On the third visit she completed my annual exam, and advised if I had normal results, I wouldn't have to repeat for another 5 years. This surprised me, as I was always advised women should have annual exams Annually. This is why its called an ANNUAL EXAM. Anyway, the experience was a good one overall, but I did feel the doctor wasn't really able to relate with me on a personal level. At times she seemed very meek, as if she didn't really know how to treat me. At the time I had a lot going on, but not enough to look bewildered at times like a deer caught in the headlights!!! I believe in Naturopathic care, but not everyone has the means to afford it or the time for the numerous follow-up appointments. Your health is serious business, and with all of the information I received, this establishment is very good at what they do. Just wish I could have had more time and resources to put in the extended effort.

After doing that as a mess up, they told me that "they are not a fit" and I quote Courtney the manager.

I've never seen such a dysfunctional practice and will be reporting them to all bureaus under discrimination.

Where do I begin? I entered this facility in 2022 and 16 months later I was discharged…read more The type of care residents receive here is minimal at best. Three roommates I had were degraded and talked down to and sometimes completely ignored when they soiled their diapers or when they needed their ostomy emptied and cleaned. It was difficult and saddening to see this happen. The common theme with the CNA care is " don't make a fuss or they'll be repercussions. Fortunately, I did not have to depend on others to take care of me. I didn't experience these acts of degradation but I certainly witnessed it. Another huge problem here are the drugs and alcohol that get brought in by visitors and possibly staff. I've witnessed overdoses and death related to this problem. The reaction by management here is minimal. The way this facility is run and the lack of funding is readily apparent by the staff shortage, the dirty and poor condition of the facility and the low quality staff that is hired. Many of the CNAs and Nurses are overwhelmed and unhappy. This directly affects the patients here. They hire ONE nurse to distribute medication to 32 residents on one wing. This process can take up to 3 to 4 hours and many miss their time window for much needed meds. The food here is pretty good but a lot of times you do not receive what you ordered and get a random tray. Staff in the physical therapy component are truly incredible people. It's unfortunate they are restricted by lack of funding and staff as the "gym" has little, very little, equipment. On a positive note, about 50% of the staff like their jobs and it shows in their attitude and cordial behavior. The other half, only do their job for a paycheck and is apparent in the way they treat patients and lack empathy or compassion. All in all this place is not somewhere I'd recommend if you have private insurance or are self pay.

Let me start off by saying my Dad was in here for mobility issues only. He also has a lot of…read moremedical issues. Here are my observations while he was there. I visited every day. Wheelchair was old and one brake that didn't work and had to be fixed. When I had to bring him to a Dr appt I had to tell them he needed legs on the wheelchair and the legs they gave me didn't lock on the old wheelchair and I had to take them off at the Dr's office because they would swing out. Only one aid that was assigned to him actually did her job (shout out to Marie). He has urinals which either I or his gf would empty since no one would show up. One day there were three aids sitting at the desk chatting and hadn't attended to him for at least 4 hours. There were days I would come in and he would still be in bed (2:30PM) and they would say they didn't have enough help. They were using a hoyer lift on him after 5 weeks of being there. He was fully capable of standing, but this would take time and patience. There's only one social worker for the entire building. Sorry, but that is unacceptable and cruel to the social worker who has a load of responsibilities that one person is incapable of handling. His cardiologist wanted blood work done every week which was not done. Lastly, the building needs to be scrubbed down and sanitized. The smell is terrible and his room was filled with knats/fruit flies the entire time he was there. I do want to give a shout out to Eric (PT), Dave (PT), Ron (nurse) Sandra (OT) and Marie (aid) for being absolutely wonderful and caring. Unfortunately their heavy loads don't allow for them to spend the amount of time with these patients they need. My recommendation is to hire more professionals and put them through proper training. I have no idea who is running this facility but I would not put my loved one here ever again.
