My father has now been at Cassena Care for almost 3 months and I can’t say enough great things about this facility and the staff. They are completely on their game. I’ve had experience with facilities where the staff was not on point and the staff at Cassena care is 100 percent on point with every aspect of my fathers care. I am completely at ease knowing he’s in such great hands day in and day out. Thank u Cassena Care.
Who owns this nasty place? Who do you report them to?Who do you complain to??Im contacting my insurance company AND my lawyer..The do nothing social worker has ignired me since the first day when i asked to be moved to ANYWHERE ELSE.MY EMERGENCY BUTTON HAS BEEN BROKE FOR 2 DAYS. GOD FORBID I SHOULD NEED HELP.I ZTOLD THEM ITS NOT WORKING AND THEY TELL ME IT IS.IF YOUR LOVED ONES NEED TO BE IN ASSISTED LUVING. DO NOT SEND THEM HERE. IM PARALIZED ON MY LEFT SIDE AND NEED PHYSICAL THERAPY. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT...THIS PLACE SHOULD NIT BE IN BUSINESS. IM REPORTING THEM TO MY INS.CO AS WELL AS THE STATE.STAY AWAY... KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES AWAY.. TAKE CARE OF THEM YOURLVES.. THEY WILL BE MUCH BETTER OFF
The thing that struck me the most is that there are multicultural, multiracial people working in this facility and this is great!The food was terrific. I was able to get double portions and an extra sandwich and even extra hot dogs for my meals!The rehab experience was amazing. The therapist worked on my shoulder and I definitely can move it better now.I had phenomenal nurses that bathed me well.Every single person is cheerful, happy smiling and keep the eye contact.I would like to congratulate the Administrator Chris for providing collegial atmosphere.
I wouldn’t send my enemy here. Lack of attention to the occupants. Lose all of their clothes monthly. Staff allows them to sit in filth.
Nice, friendly and helpful staff
my mother has been admitted recently to Cassena care at stamford . She was well taken care of . Hard working staff from housekeeping to the management team . Thank you so much . appreciate everything .
People not the facility make the difference in long term care. The staff was genuinely caring and attentive to my father’s needs. Minette, Anna, Jazmine, Roumana, Shondra & Angela were exceptional. My dad and I developed a very special relationship with them. I will be eternally grateful to them for taking excellent care of my father.
I will rate this review based on one care provider, Cris Antipuesta who was fantastic. I was having a hard time getting updates on my mother who was transferred there from Greenwich hospital to recover from COVID. It was frustrating not to be able to connect with one person who consistently cared for my mother. When I spoke with Cris, he instantly calmed me down. He shared his own experience of caring for his mother in the Philippines, and was so empathetic and genuine in his interest in my mother's well-being. Cassena is lucky to have Cris and I wish that all healthcare professionals could take a page out of his book for how to exemplify superior understanding and care. Thank you Cris for giving me the reassurance and strength I needed to get through this and more importantly, caring for my mother.
My mother was admitted there from Stamford Hospital during the pandemic which was vey hard for me being that she is 90 y/o. I was concerned about her declining because she would not be able to see family members or speak to them but boy I was wrong. The staff caught me off guard with their compassion and care provided to my mother. Recreation was able to accommodate me with a Facetime and calls everyday which put my heart at ease. They kept her active and engaged which I thought was amazing. Rehab also was able to Facetime us to show us her progression. Nursing was attentive and called me with updates periodically.. My mother is a picky eater and the Kitchen staff accommodated her wants , which I think is important. Overall the care was great , I would definitely recommend this facility to other families and its in a great area with lots of parking.
Mice infested facility. Continuously understaff resulting in inadequate patient care/falls. Responsible for the NUMEROUS deaths during the covid 19 outbreak because they kept sick people in the room with people who were not and those residents eventually contracted it and died. All management cares about is filling up beds and collecting money. Send your loved ones anywhere but here !
I am a wheelchair bound patient that came from Norwalk hospital to Cassena Care in Stamford. I was a little nervous to go to a rehab facility because I never been to one before but after being here for 5 days its going to be hard for me to leave because I fell in love with the staff. They are very helpful and they go above and beyond for the patient and they also make you feel welcomed. I have herd that other rehab centers can be a horrible experience but not here. I would recommend this place to everyone.
The difference from this place a year ago until today is remarkable.I wrote a pretty nasty review of Cassena Care last year. I thought the place was dirty and dated, understaffed and I was just plain unhappy leaving my mother-in-law and best friend.I had to have a couple of surgeriesKnee Replacement then had a fall on a faulty sidewalk and had to have it redone.Needless to say it took me a good 7 months to feel comfortable driving from Milford to Stamford to visit mom again.Well this time I was elated! The place was clean there was more staff. A lot of new faces that I felt really cared about their patients the many renovations was a breath of fresh air.Thankyou all for making the place feel more likes home then an institution. You made my Day.Dee Lohnes daughter and best friend to Irene Ohara
The staff, care and treatment at Cassena Care at Stamford were excellent.
