Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Christopher House has received a mix of reviews from family members of residents, volunteers, and staff. Many praise the facility for its cleanliness, compassionate care, and attentive staff. Positive experiences highlight the quality of rehab services, the attentiveness of the nursing and CNA staff, and the overall cleanliness of the facility. Families and volunteers have noted the kindness and professionalism of the staff, the quality of the food, and the facility's ability to create a comfortable and supportive environment for residents.
However, there are also reports of negative experiences, including issues with patient/family relations, communication, and staffing. Some reviews mention instances where residents were left unattended, experienced delays in receiving help, or where the facility's response to concerns was lacking. Concerns were also raised about the handling of admissions and eligibility for Masshealth, with one family experiencing rudeness and a lack of professionalism.
Despite these mixed reviews, many families express gratitude for the care their loved ones received, with several stating they would choose Christopher House again for rehab or long-term care. The facility is commended for its renovated rooms, the dedication of its rehab and respiratory departments, and the overall compassionate approach of its staff.
On the employment side, one review from a staff member praises the workplace but criticizes the behavior of a scheduler, suggesting an area for internal review.
In summary, while Christopher House has been lauded for its care quality, cleanliness, and staff dedication, there are areas for improvement, particularly in communication, staffing, and handling of administrative processes.
