Where do I even begin. My grandma was admitted into the Hospital before Christmas then into Calvary's Brooklyn Hospital Location. Shortly after, she was transferred into this Bronx Facility. It is difficult to describe the care that was given to my grandma because it was disgusting. Upon being admitted into the Bronx Calvary location, my mother began visiting every day for 3 weeks during their visitation hours. Prior to being admitted, my mother spoke with the nurses and doctors about my grandma's care. We were told that my grandma would be given nutritional milk to drink and be moved every 2 hours. These were some of the most basic "promises" given to us and none of them were ever seen. My mother was there 4 hours every day and the nurses never came in to move my grandma. The nurses never came in to even acknowledge my mother. They came in to ensure that they signed the time sheet to cover themselves. In one of the most shocking instances, my mother was wiping my grandmother and discovered an open wound that was already infected. The nurses and doctors did not even know about this wound and my mother had to tell them about it. My mom is there 4 hours PER day and she was able to discover a wound that this facility did not. My mother ultimately had to speak with social worker supervisors and nurse supervisors to receive the basic care that one assumes would be given in a hospital. Ultimately, my grandmother passed away. When we asked when she passed away or when they found out, the answer given to us was: I don't know. Moving a loved one into this facility is probably one of the worst moves that you could do for them. When issues are brought up, the nurses always say that a different nurse was supposed to take care of it. Stay away

The nurses were nice and comforting, the doctor was busy on a Friday night so there’s that. Half of the security needs emotional intelligence training. If I am coming in at midnight, clearly the news is not great, show a little Compassion. As someone walking in I already feel like I’m in a prison because of their set up but I feel like I was treated like one as well with all the attitude.

I had two family members that used both in Hospital care and at home. I know of only 2 of the many staff members who actually showed that they cared. some could not follow basic direction from the past nurses. The staff in Hospital just don't care at all as well as the ones for at home. Would not put a dog in the trust of these people. I see that some people have nearly the same experience. One of my family members was recommended to have calvary at home but she really didn't need it. The caretaker that showed up wouldn't take a minute to understand the problem and how to properly do things that she needed. She passed within a week I believe she would have lived longer and been better if Calvary was never brought in. the other was about 2 years ago she was in Calvary for about 6 weeks. There was maybe 2 or 3 days that would be good but they would just be giving her more medication to put her out. Some of the nurses were very rough. Some of them were very rough. The day that she was going to pass away they knew she was going to but they had no intention of telling us it wasn't til we got there that day that they said She would. I would not recommend that anybody sends anybody that they actually care about to use any of the services that calvary uses.

Recently Calvery Hospital Bereavement camp was held at the Bay Terrace Country Club a gem of a community located at the dead end of 24 Avenue in Bayside Queens… As a volunteer here at this pool club we were honored to host this event.. the team of professional staff and volunteers from Calvery Hospital Bereavement scheduled a week long camp to give young children who lost loved ones days filled with fun activities, professional counseling and lots of love and support to these children.

This place is just sad my mother in law passed away here last month first off I want to say that these patients are passing there is no way and I mean no way that anyone should be arguing with these patients and the one house keeper she's African American on 2nd flr wears green and has glasses she is absolutely rude and disrespectful some of the nurses are ok but this place is absolutely terrible I would never recommend anyone to put their love ones here and the caseworker Amalie she's nice I had to talk with her about my mother in laws care that's all she could do was pass it on also no one should never have to pay $5 a day to visit their loved ones that are passing this place needs to be revaluated and under new management and needs to get rid of staff and start fresh first with training aides, nurses, and housekeepers how to be a professional caretaker. Godbless all the patients at calvary hospital 🙏♥️

It’s been 2 yrs. the pain is still there. When we arrived at Calvary Hospital, I asked the admitting doctor what was his plan of care. He said nothing, this patient is dying. Then Dr. Carrington stepped in and made things right. The rest of the care was smoothly done. I’ve been in this business for over 30 years and I’ve seen death many many times in different ways. We just have to show love and care and nothing else will imprint that impression in people who are in pain. Thank you

My father was admitted a day before Christmas Eve. In the beginning everyone is nice and you think it was a clean facility. My father did not like that place. I never saw the doctor. I barely saw a nurse only to sign the sheet. I would have to clean my father, feed him. They never moved him at all. I tried speaking to the social worker it was impossible never saw her either. There were some nurses that were rude to him and very agresive when i would ask them to change him. My dad past away two weeks after being there. I couldn’t go see him I was not allowed to see him the day he passed. I don’t recommend putting a loved one in a facility. Specifically this one

Disgusting display of humanity by this person at the front desk. Should lose his job. I have never been spoken to by someone at a front desk like this before. I’m putting you on blast... Miserable person who does not deserve to represent this hospital or work with the public.

I did not want to put any stars on this horrific hospital but in order to post I had to choose st least one star to get my message posted. My father passed away at Calvary nearly 3 years ago and it’s taken me this long to come to terms with the absolute regret I have letting him die in that death mill. And that is all it is when you are deemed “terminal”. From the moment he was admitted, the staff treated him , and me , like a number. The doctors were MIA . We never even had any updates on his condition or meetings with physicians . And as my father was clearly admitted as a terminal patient , I was “greeted” in the office by a woman who was so nasty saying “ I have been trying to get in touch with you to get this paperwork signed,” , in a visible, annoyed manner. Not “I am so sorry for what you are going through” .. just “sign here . Your father is completely covered by his insurance.” Of course he was complete covered. This is the bread and butter of this place . Admit the patients, and then slowly but surely crank up the morphine . My father was admitted a clear thinking , cognizant man and within ten days was a vegetable so knocked out on narcotics it’s a wonder he lasted that long . I would show up each day and of course he would be asleep (knocked out on meds) and his food tray would be sitting next to him. Obviously no one was making sure the man was eating or drinking. Oh , and while your loved one lays dying in one of the rooms that are in circular proportion around the nurses station, the staff is chumming it up and high firing and laughing and clearly enjoying all the donuts and trays of food brought in by patients’ generous & grateful families. It was all truly “lovely” to see. The lack of compassion, care, and honor was truly despicable. And then when I finally got the dreaded phone call telling me that my father had passed, I was told I was not allowed to come and see him before his body was transferred out of the room . So my dear father died alone being taken care of by the rudest nurse I had ever encountered when I left him an hour earlier. And I was not permitted to say goodbye. By the time I saw my father in the casket at the funeral home I could finally see the weight loss and dehydration that occurred during his ten day “stay”. It was alarming and shocking to see how a six foot three , large man had wasted away to nothing in such a short period of time. And they say it’s a Catholic hospital ? There was no priest to be found. I had requested last rights for my father who was a man of devout faith , and to this day I do not know whether he received that sacrament. The irony is that my father was a television news editor at a major news network, who worked alongside one of the “celebrities “ who has endorsed and praised Calvary. But know this. If you are NOT a celebrity or person of importance in the eyes of the staff and management, you are not seen or heard in this place . I implore you to find a better hospice choice for your loved one . Your loved one deserves better . I know my father did. God bless.

My mother just passed away in Calvary Hospice. The care was wonderful and the staff made sure the was comfortable until the end. My special thanks go to Dr. Devmani, who was wise and beyond sensitive throughout. My mother died peacefully in her sleep. Having my mother in Calvary was the right decision.

Between begging for pain relief, and leaving mom in one spot not rotating as much with bedsores from previous hospital I was mortified that my moms flowers,plant were stolen which I told doctor I want returned as I nursed everyday to be placed by casket. Other new items stolen as well. Mortified and heartbroken. Theives when you are at your weakest. Never tried to feed if plate brought at all. I found the nice words did not make up for the actual activity happening there.

The best place for your loved ones! The staff are the nicest people you will EVER meet! The doctors are also amazing. My grandmother was admitted there for one month and a half, the last day of her life the doctors called my mother at work and told her she wasn’t doing well. Thanks to them my mother was able to be there when she passed. Moreover, my grandma really enjoyed the food here and there were so many events. Do not hesitate about bringing your loved ones here!!!

The worst experience my family and I are currently dealing with for over a month. My grandmother is still without a care taker and the social worker Dana Stewart made a suggestion since my brother resides in the home he can take care of my grandmother during the day after he gets off working overnight. A hospital bed was delivered to the house with no assistance to help transporting my grandmother from one bed to another. When I called and asked for a callback I was advised I would receive one and I haven’t. In two days it’ll make a week since I’ve called and I’m still waiting on my call back. Only concerns everyone has is to make sure my grandmother is receiving her morphine.

when our mom was last hospitalized a month ago, we were advised that it was time to call in Hospice, since Mom was terminal and wanted to be at home. We were optimistic that Calgary would give us an aide 20hrs per week, the nurses who come at least 2x per week would report to the doctor and advise us on what to do as each day presents new challenges AND all of meds that she needs to remain comfortable would be prescribed and delivered to her home. No one calls us back, meds not prescribe and we went a week and no one showed up. What a disappointment! What do we do now? Help

On behalf of my whole family, I extend thanks to Calvary Hospital, especially to the 5th floor staff for the care you provided to my dad Maurice Godfrey during his confinement. Even though he was going through so much pain some how you make him as comfortable as possible. He was clean and his room was well kept . He has departed with dignity and pride. I am honestly grateful for everyone that makes it possible for his ending days to be so peaceful and comfortable as he made his transition. Special thank you to Miss Bev for even taking time and extra effort to help my dad in those difficult times. To all the staff that have been a part of the day of his departure ,Thank you all you all did a marvelous job . May God continue to bless you all for the wonderful work that you all are doing . Thank you Calvary Hospital for comfort and care in the time when it most needed your staff has displayed exactly what you have promoted

difficult place to work, staff get no breaks because of understaffing. Higher ups do not care about staff safety and only about patients being given everything they ask for.

There are simply no words for the compassion, care and love blessed upon my father in his final days of life at Calvary. EVERY staff member, doctor, nurse, social worker, aide, and employee graced my father with a peaceful death. He was prayed for and with, he was sung to, he was cleaned and cared for every moment of every day. My sisters AND our family now have extended family. In memory of Sonny, Fear is Useless, Faith is Important and Love is Everything!! With Gratitude & Blessings, Roseann, Tina & Angela and FAMILY

I've already made a post but i wanted to share the pictures of their cake and ice cream and to thank them again! Thank you for giving us hope and caring for my mother!

Although not there under good circumstances, I was happy my loved one was here. The facility is very clean and secure and the aides are very attentive and caring. If you need palliative care for some you love, don't hesitate to use Calvary.

My mother in law is receiving her end of life care and I am over whelmed with the kindness and love she has been shown. Tenyse and Marina have been caring for her and they couldn’t be more outgoing and attentive. Tenyse remembered every one in the families name and has been unbelievable. I am forever grateful to Cavalry.

Was helped by a nurse named Kavita she was awesome. Professional and very attendant to my needs. She took care of my family member and put my worries at ease. I normally dont write reviews but I'm very grateful to have her there.

My dad was admitted at Calvary Hospice on 6/20/18. He's been sick for 3 years with various illnesses. When he was admitted his first response was he liked the place and the staff. This was very comforting to our family because we had a trying week before him being admitted at Calvary. This was also hard to come by with all of the different hospitals and the nursing home he was residing in for the last 3 years, their were a lot of issues with the different places. The staff was very attentive and answered all of our questions even if we were at home and needed to call to speak with someone. He was only at Calvary Hospice for 3 days and passed away on 6/23/18. When we received the call the nurse was very gentle with relaying the news. She told us what to expect and also that we could view his body within the next 2 hours and if we wanted to do so they would be there waiting for our family. When we arrived, security greeted us with open arms and gave their condolences and allowed us go upstairs. When we arrived on the floor someone was there to greet us, they hugged us and gave their condolences. They asked if we needed to speak with a priest to help with our grief. We sat with our dad for some time and when we left the room all of the staff on the floor, even the maintenance lady gave us their condolences and told us he went peacefully and consoled us. This place helped us with out grieving. If it wasn't for them it would have been much more difficult. I am very grateful for their kindness and I can't praise them enough for those couple of days at the end of my dad's life. I would like to say again, thank you to the staff at Calvary for their support during this difficult time. I would recommend them to anyone who need them.

Disgusting place and employees

It's all rite but their rooms on the 6 floor is very 🥶

We received a great family referral from a caring employee because we are very low cost. Everyone was satisfied. The family praised your facility. Thank you from Peter Dohanich Funeral Home.

Everyone that works there were ,so kind, and respectful, and attended to my brother in law needs. I am glad all the nurse are making him comfortable. Thank you all for making my brother inlaw feel like he is going home soon.

From a caring employee We received a great family referral because we are very low cost. Everyone was satisfied. The family praised your facility. Thank you

We are grateful for the incredibly caring and compassionate nurses that helped my mother in her last days, and helped us navigate a very difficult time. I cannot begin to express the depth of our gratitude for their support, dedication, and professionalism. Thank you, thank you.

The staff was very kind and caring.

I’ve been hospitalized for the past two years and Calvary hospital by far is one of the best I’ve been in. The nurses Rey, Nadia, Duette and all nurses I didn’t name are amazing. There communication skills and compassion, is what makes them exceptional. The empathy, and the way they anticipate to fulfill my needs are excellent. The way they listen to me with there kind hearted attitude is wonderful. They also have Tech that help these nurses. Hyacinth Fiona and many more Tech that help bathe us feed us, change our leanings clean our accidents they even check up on us Hyacinth does it all the time and Fiona, when they come to work they come to my room to see if I’m OK and if I need anything even if they work on the opposite side they still manage to come to my side to see how I’m doing I’m telling you Calvary hospital is the best hospital I’ve been in and that’s why my wounds that I thought would never close are finally healing.The wounds are closing and it’s all because of this hospital the nurses and techs and the fantastic job they did caring for me in this place that’s filled with light thank you all for taking such good care of me

The last word I heard my mom say was "ow" at the hands of the staff "cleaning" her in the last days of her life. She was heavily sedated so couldn't communicate with loved ones, but somehow could still voice her displeasure in the heinous treatment of the staff here. There are a couple of staff members who really go above and beyond, but sadly the VAST majority of doctors. nurses and aides in this true death factory could care less about you or your loved one. If you are researching where to send your loved one, I implore you to look elsewhere. We chose this facility as my mom had extensive medical needs that were not able to be taken care of at home. It is a disgraceful facility with too many doctors that hardly pay attention to the patient. We had advanced my mother's medication and then upon arrival I carefully went through it all with the first Doctor assigned, somehow three hours later when it came time for her evening dosages they had nothing for her. Our next Doctor proceeded to take her off of her life-sustaining medication fully and at once, with no care for the tremendous amount of pain and anxiety she expressed.  After those two experiences, it took me a full week to get a Doctor assigned to her care that would, to quote our social worker, "answer our questions". That should be the basic level of care provided by a medical professional, not something you need to go out of your way to receive. Even when my mother was no longer mentally present I felt that I needed to be at the facility at her bedside from sun up to sun down to make sure that she was receiving appropriate care from Doctors, Nurses and Aides alike. The food was inedible, the staff is overworked and often cruel to family members, the social work team provides extremely limited resources and recourse, the doctors are embarrassingly inconsistent and the level of respect given to dying patients is a far-cry from what their website would suggest.

It was such a heart wrenching decision to send my young husband to an end of life hospital but upon arrival at the Calvary, my husband said “I like the vibe here”. Sadly we lost him 5 days later. The compassion and care that they showed him and my family was more than I could have ever imagined. I wish we had transferred him earlier. Thank you all on the 5th floor from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget you.

Can anyone tell me if this place is a good place to go to? I’m paraplegic seeking rehab they’re telling me that I’ll be able to get one hour of therapy a day if I go to here but honestly, I know these places are horrible. People are nasty, and I honestly just want to hear opinion from someone that has been there before even thinking twice about going here Thank you
