Home Nursing

I didn't want to check off one star but it is the only way this message will post! I give them a be fat "F" It seems they remove reviews somehow, I guess by changing the name. My advice: Don't get sick. My mother has been so jerked around by this "care". Most of the PSW's are caring but some are not. Some even fall asleep! You have an extremely frustrating and difficult time getting consistency and unfortunately I had to threaten to cancel through my Simcoe caseworker and low and behold I got some action. Poor people that can't fight for what is right. They don't even tell their care workers what the persons ailment is before they go for their first visit. I have had to "train" each and every one of them. My mother has Alzheimers and Parkinsons and they just send someone in cold. It takes days for me to help my mother recover emotionally from the multiple switches and different "new" people they send. She only gets 10 hours a week and if they cancel you don't get those hours back. This system is so broken. The ladies are obviously underpaid and not motivated unless it is ingrained already in their character. Thank you to those that have given my mother good care, it has nothing to do with your employer and you should take all the credit. Private care is extremely expensive and not sustainable for most and they don't call in advance or until the last minute, I have to call to find out who is coming the next morning and IF someone will come. I spend many of my respite hours organizing the schedule and calling, calling, calling...they very rarely pick up the phone and you can sometimes wait 10 minutes on hold only to end up in their general voice mail box. Do your homework and talk to as many professional as possible to find better care for your loved one. Signed, very disappointed.

If I could give 0 stars I would. This has to be one of the worst home care companies I’ve ever come across in simcoe country, horrible management with little care for clients. The owner Whom I believe is named Dan Lenard is verbally abusive and degrading to his staff (I’ve witnessed this on multiple occasions) and one can only imagine the lack of respect he has for clients...to this company your family is just an income. please DON’T place a loved one in the care of this company!

Experience less about the place and more about the workers. Terrible accountability. Poor work ethic. Two days in a row, same person, cancellation. When you have an invalid parent who needs daily health care and routine, yet cannot rely on a group of trained individuals..it becomes a bad experience. A job is a job, a time is a time. It feels like some of the workers here do not have any respect for the time of the elderly and aging.

Last night I had the pleasure of being a speaker at Chartwell Barrington in Barrie on the topic of “Living with Dementia”. Kristen did an amazing job of promoting and organizing the event - right down to the treats!! Their team was very welcoming to myself and the other guests. The Barrington is a beautiful residence filled with lovely seniors! I highly recommend them.

I would like to let you know about this location. My late mother was their for many years and ever since the new owner took over. The residents now are threated like gold. No place is perfect, but this place looks after their elders. So please rest assure that your loved one will be in good hands. My mother was before her passing a few months ago. I highly recommend this place. You will not regret it.

Ils ils sont patients, polis , ils sont éfficaces, ils sont a l'écoute de ma grand-mère... C' est propre.

I work here🤗

Besoin de réorganisation. Personnel infirmier doit augmenter ses connaissances: médicaments, interventions pour personnes avec démence, respect de la personne. Pourquoi le linge des résidents est si facile à perdre?

Magnifique endroit. Personnel très accueillant et nourriture délicieuse. Une belle ambiance y règne.

Having lived within five different homes of this type I can say as a current resident in Crysler that what makes this residence better is the owner! All residences have their own separate issues where they need improvement and Crysler residence is no different in that way but the owner Eric Borden is a very personable man who cares a great deal about each and every resident who comes to live here. Since most all the residents are on fixed incomes Eric has always made it possible for a resident to have direct access to a small stores of snacks and drinks of every kind.This is the only residence I have known that has this and since many of these residences are quite rural the residents have to rely on the owners to take them shopping once a month when their cheques are in but not here in Crysler residence because Eric shops weekly for any and all needs a resident may have and keeps the "snack room" well stocked at all times! The staff like any residence go through their own learning curves as do all residences that have new staff beginning but the review below mine by Donna Lee Frankland is pure fantasy and bordering upon slander since the Crysler residents are never withheld food for any reason whatsoever. I also get the impression that if she were a resident then she is simply disgruntled and certainly didn't stay long enough to offer an honest opinion and her tone does seem to be angry and hate filled and lastly I believe she would have been labeled a "problem resident" by the amount of distain she attempts to write yet rather poorly at that! The residents here are like any other residence and have various illness' either mentally,physically or both. The staff are trained by longterm staff and try the best that they can to accommodate your needs as a resident at all times of the day as well. The owner Eric has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in just upkeep to this residence by installing a new roof last summer 2017 and new windows in every room last fall 2017 removed the old carpeting within the hallway and had tile flooring installed throughout the entire residence and every room where the carpeting became too aged has had that carpet removed and replaced with wood slat flooring that looks very nice. I started this long review by saying that it is the owner that makes a residence what it is and everyone who has met Eric and placed a loved one here knows that Eric goes above and beyond in order to make certain their loved one is as happy as can be. I have no intentions or need to change my residence as the Crysler residence has become my home despite it's few faults of an aging building that Eric the owner is constantly doing upgrades to I have very little to complain about. I am being as honest as I can with you since the previous reviewer was most certainly not being honest and could not have lived here long enough to offer such a negative review so I am skeptical about where she even came up with the falsehoods that she claimed about this residence! I have lived here now for three years and will stay for another twenty because Eric Borden is the owner! Every residence has faults but it is the owner that makes it good or bad and Eric is the best owner I have ever known of the five different residences I have resided in! Please, if you are seeking a new home then at least meet Eric the owner or call him before you decide on somewhere else where that owner is never there or is not generous and caring like Eric the owner here most definitely is. Thank you and I hope you appreciate my honest review as a current resident of Crysler residence which is not a retirement home for just the elderly but anyone who is retired due to disabilities. I must also add that during these times of higher costs of living anyone on a fixed income knows that their choices are sadly few and so please at least consider my words when making the hard choice in a new home for your loved one or yourself.
