Spaulding Hospital for Continuing Medical Care Cambridge

Awful place to work. They have new nurses training oncoming nurses people smile in each others faces at the same time are reporting each other and there is a lot of he said she said. Its a lions den they will even tell you not to trust anybody you are working with. Nurses bad mouth patients and say the worst things about patients condition and their families at the nurses station. The unfortunate situation the patientsfamilies go through is one big joke for them and they have no problem laughing about it. Managers play favorites. Dont work on 3west at all costs Ella is a spiteful manager and will lie about you if she has to. Everybody working on 3west complains about her. Dont risk your license

This Spaulding IS THE BEST My husband was with them on 4 west for 5 months and they were so good to him and our family. They were the reason why I could sleep at night because I knew that he was in great hands I would call the nurses at any time of the day and night and they had no problems letting me know how he was doing. They were so sweet the Doctor he had Peter Santana was the best as well seriously we are so great full to them for what everyone did for him and our family. They treated the family great we really have no words on how much we appreciate everything they did. The therapist as well were the best the aids I mean I cant stop mentioning people they were WONDERFULLY

I spent approximately three and a half weeks at the Spaulding rehab hospital after surgery. The entire staff was very professional and compassionate. From the time I arrived until the day I was discharged it felt like they were totally invested in my recovery. Working with PT OT and speech kept and me motivated and wanting to do more each day. Christina the nurse practitioner checked in with me on a daily basis and the nursing staff was also amazing. I am grateful for the care that I received at the Spalding rehab hospital and would highly recommend their facility.

I am still waiting for someone to call me back since November 2023. I called several times and left voicemails. My son was being seen by a therapist at the outpatient clinic and it seems that he no longer was available 2 times a week because he was covering for someone that was out on maternity leave but I believe his patients should be prioritized. Back in November 2023 I was calling to let them know I wasnt going to make it because my son had a stomach virus i called several times but they didnt answer so I left a voicemail I also call again the next day and the next day still waiting What a shame Sometimes I was late because of the traffic but thats not a reason for not to contact me and just leave my son on the air he didnt get a proper discharge a proper goodbye i believe we all need a proper discharge. He still asking me what he did wrong and it breaks my heart the fact he feels responsible for any wrong doing. The reason why Im writing this review today February 28 2024 is because he asked me again what happened why he still not going back over there and obviously Im not taking back there

Edit 11923The staff has made giant efforts to rectify our issue and make sure it doesnt happen again. They have been attempting to allay our concerns so moving forward with reserved optimisim.My mom has been there FOR LESS THAN A WEEK having had recent BRAIN SURGERY for a ruptured aneurysm resultant stroke secondary brain bleed and a shunt for hydrocephalus and has already been found 3 times in an absolutely UNACCEPTABLE state.One time half out of her chair without any attention. Gave them the benefit of the doubt.Second time the room STINKING sitting in her own liquid diet filth and no one would respond to requests to clean her for almost an hour and who knows how long before thatThird time bent over UPSIDE DOWN in her chair having fallen over both arms over her head thought she was DEAD when we got there. She just had freaking brain surgery post aneurysm stroke and brain bleed with a shunt and a tracheostomy because she had covid complications and mucus issues she cant freaking breathe well and was upside down. Not to mention how that must affect the pressure in her head -- she has a shunt for that reason And no one on staff noticed my dad had to get her upright on his ownShe has been in tears 3 days in a row from the absolute undignified care she has received and she cannot speak or communicate in order to advocate for herself or fill us in. My father who has had his life turned upside down and on hold for the last two months is having to come in and see this.Absolutely ridiculous standard of care. Frankly we dont even trust that something wont happen let alone the rest of the therapy. The visit hours are only 2pm to 8pm and someone will have to be there for the whole time at this rate and who the hell knows what will happen to her the rest of the time there. She has become listless crying and clearly unhappy and has actually seemed to regress because of this and we have to attribute it to a strong independent woman having to rely on help and being left like this.

My sister was transferred to Spaulding Cambridge after cancer surgery. She required 24 hour care. I received conflicting evaluations of her condition. My sister was unable to talk due to the presence of a trachea tube. She was anxious and easily agitated. The staff over medicated my sister with antipsychotic meds which are known to increase mortality in the elderly. While I am certain it was a challenge to calm her I find this type of care totally unacceptable. The day before she died I was told by a doctor at Spaulding that they may have given her more Seraquel than necessary but they were in a hurry as transport was there to take her to an appointment at her surgeons office and she did not want to go. She had known and trusted her surgeon since 2006 so I questioned the accuracy of that statement. The following day quite unexpectedly my sister died. Knowing of the excellent reputation Spaulding Rehab I was expecting great things. I was sadly very disappointed and regret not followed my impulse to have her returned to Mass Eye and Ear. After her surgery there her condition had improved. Her condition deteriorated during the two weeks she spent at Spaulding Cambridge ending in her death. I so regret not staying on top of the care she was given at every minute. Had I lived in Massachusetts where I could spend hours of every day with her maybe there would have been a different outcome.

My sister Nikki received the best of care under Dr. Sorina Chiron at Spalding Cambridge. She was very knowledgeable of my sisters disease very informative and most of all very caring. Truly an asset to Mass General and Spalding.

My sister is a patient and has received good care as far as helping her breathe on her own and eating on her own . The nurses are great but the physical therapy portion was subpar. I was hoping she would have at least attempted to start walking but she has been mostly on her back or in the chair. I am hoping that the next facility hopefully Lighthouse Nursing in Revere can get her on her feet. My feelings on Spaulding are mixed

My mother was sent here with promises and expectations of it being a wonderful place but instead it was all a facade. If you smoke dont come here theres a zero exception policy of smoking on campus and they wont allow you outside more than once a day even with family to take you out. The nurses have no power and you have to get permission from the doctor for everything. The cafeteria closes at 4 so you have to order your food in the morning and by the time you go to eat itll be a reheated meal in the microwave. I hope you all the best if youre sent here.

Husband was sent there from BWH. He was there 4 weeks on 2West. Everyone was so attentive the nurses the staff people the cleaners. No complaints and I would highly recommend this hospital. Dr. Roy was absolutely wonderful. All the nurses were top notch. Thank you Spaulding
