He was still waiting and the call bell was still ringing! There was many days when no rehab PT or OT would show up. He would go to group exercises classes but he was not independent in movement both lower extremities ! The head nurse was nice, the greeters were friendly. The Dr assist was kind and good. The nurse on main floor have too many patients for good care.

Last November a friend of mine was very sick and was…read morediagnosed with Walking Pneumonia. He got a little better but then would get sick again. He was in a few times but kept getting worse. His muscles were breaking down from non mobility. ( he's in his 80's) He was sent to a rehabilitation facility for PT , rest and what have you . It didn't go well ! He ended up signing himself out' because the care wasn't very good . Needless to say he ended up back in the hospital. The hospital recommended that he go to a rehabilitation facility for Physical Therapy and care . He refused to go back to the previous facility. Thankfully he didn't !!!!!! He was sent to a place called Hathrone Hill in Danvers Ma . If I could give this facility 10 Stars I would! From the first time I went to visit to the day he was released, I was impressed! You are greeted by friendly and informative staff. They show you how to check in and give directions to the room . As my husband and I went to the elevator we noticed how clean everything was. We also noticed the PT areas and activity areas were also very well maintained. We made over way to our friend room and dinner was being served. OMG ! It looked , smelt and from what he said , tasted delicious. ( the other facility's food wasn't even close to being that good ). I don't think it's appropriate to name them as I don't write bad reviews. Hathrone Hill is worth writing about. I think it's hard enough to see a family or friend going through medical issues. So having a place you feel comfortable with is a major stress relief ! I waited until my friend was released to write this because truthfully I was ready to write this review from day one ! I waited until he was released because I felt that I needed to write a review of this importants , that was not just the first impression but also the last! Hats off to everyone involved in the process and care of the patients in your facility. God bless you all

This place sucks…read morewith 24 hr care, hasn't been 2 years I've had their service and had 200+ people come to my house. I've had nurses who need help with taking care of issues like PTSD come take care of me and it's like i have to take care of them, a lot of unprofessional people like nurses who don't even know what a pressure cuff is etc. The night shift people come in shower caps, fuzzy slippers and clothing ready to sleep and is what they do. I'm a paraplegic and need to be repositioned every 2 hrs while in bed and if I dont scream their name to wake them up they'll sleep through the whole shift. The owner Chris all he worries about is a paycheck and sends anyone to the patients house just to cover his ass and say his employee was here, I've had my narcotics stolen(about 60 dilated pills and 20+valium), their first nurse overdosed me on valium to where I had 4 breathes per minute when emts arrived. It's only a few good employees they have and it suck they have to work for this poor service giving company. Overall from 1-10 I'll give it a 0.5 just to be nice. Att. DAVID MARTINEZ

I hired Bright Star to provide my mother with awake overnight care. Many times over the course of…read moreweeks, their staff fell asleep on the job. Someone staying at my mothers, had to wake up and then go wake up the staff, physically shaking them awake a minimum of 5 different times. My mother also would get out of bed (she was not suppose to be walking unattended) to wake up the staff when she needed to use the bathroom. When I reported this to company they assured me they would not send the same person again, yet they did! As it continued to happen, I called the owner, Chris Littlefield and complained. He offered me two free nights, even though I was terminating their services so that we would end on good terms. I accepted the two nights. On my mother's next credit card bill there was a bill for a night of service. Chris then denied he had offered me two nights! He told me regardless, that he would have it removed from her credit card. He did and then three days later, they re-billed my mothers card! In addition to these issues, we had nights were no one showed up for their shifts, came late to their shift and left early. My mother's health and safety was at risk, while this agency was responsible for her. I would never use them again.

After a short hospital stay which disrupted both her diet and memory, Mom needed hands-on help until a room was available in assisted living. It was such a blessing to have Emily G. and Julie R. as the aides Caroline assigned. They pureed her meals, reminded her to take medications, provided mental stimulation and even some physical exercise. One or the other of the aides was in her apartment 7 hours a day 7 days a week for 10 weeks. the care they provided was in every way exceptional and the genuine respect they showed was wonderful since she had already lost so much. And finally, the fact that my previously independent Mom looked forward each day to simply having them arrive is in the end the best testimonial of all. If I ever needed private care again I would look no further than this wonderful agency. Ruth C.
