Carondelet Manor

The Doctor suggested we took our Mother here for rehab. She fractured her back. Spent 3 weeks there. She was a changed woman for the worse. Brian told us she walked the bar and when we picked her up to leave she couldn't even stand up in her wheelchair. We came to visit her 4 days in a row and everyday she had the same clothes on. We had to complain about it to get anything done. We notice the last 2 days she had the same clothes on. They over medicated her. Since she has left Carondelet Manor rehad we now have to spend more time putting her back together. It was all about the medcaid money. They suggested to us to keep her there until the plateau was up. We will never bring her back to Carondelet Manor again. Her doctor sucks.

I was not a patient is this facility, but a friend of mine was. His name was Cejour and he is Haitian and he is about eighty years old. He does not speak English, so I would go there often to check on him since it was close to my house. I really really liked the staff there. First of all when you walk in there is a big banquet hall to your right, and there are also about three other banquet halls there. Every time that I went to sign in, the people were always so nice and sweet, I could just not believe it. Everyday he went to physical therapy, because he was recovering from a pace maker implant, and they would always let him visit with me, and then he would just go back to the physical therapy area. One time when me and some of his family were leaving, he started to cry, and I felt so bad for him, the nurse came right over and tried to talk to him in French. She was an awesome nurse, and she was so kind. The facility is so clean, and it does not smell like urine like so many of them do. My friend is no longer in the facility, but in my opinion it was one of the nicest ones that I have ever been to.
