Azalea Estates of Shreveport

Everytime I visit Azalea Estates you can feel the happiness of the residents. Everyone is so caring.

The staff is really nice. The facility is well-kept and clean. The rooms are pretty spacious. My mother has a small appartment with a kitchen area and a bathroom. I haven't tried the food, but my mother tells me it is ok, but not the best. They have activities such as bean-bag baseball and bingo. Most of the people who live there seem to be happy. I would recommend this facility to others.

How many ways are there to count the blessings I have received from Lorrie, Beth and the staff at Azalea Estates. I am the niece of a resident and I can literally sleep at night knowing she is cared for 24 hrs a day. She loves to be able to go to the dining room and play games and have all the visitors that entertain the residents. My aunt has memory problems and has recently experienced a hospitalization Lorrie and her staff call the appropriate help and got her to the hospital and called me with each step. You see I live in New Waverly, TX and still work so it is hard for me to drive the 250 miles in a few minutes to see to her needs. The Azalea Estates is a small intimate facility so much like her home and not a nursing home. The staff and the other residents are pleasant, prepared and capable of making this her home not just a place to live. I can never thank them enough for what they do.

When you picture your loved one (in my case, my mother) living anywhere other than their home or your home, that picture absolutely HAS to be a great one.

The atmosphere at Azalea Estates is homey, beautiful, clean, and comfortable.

Our first visit here came after visiting several other assisted living facilities in the Shreveport area. My first impression was: "where do we sign up and how soon can my mother move in?"

A complete tour, more information, and the staff that helped us only made me more eager for my mother to live here.

I was not eager to see my mother living anywhere but home. Azalea Estates was the first and only place we had considered that eased my mind about her doing so.

During her stay, I found myself becoming more and more at ease with her new home. The other residents were very welcoming, very helpful, and eager to be friends. They were genuinely concerned about other residents and seemed as willing to assist their fellow residents as did the staff members themselves.

I found the care staff to be very responsible, very responsive to my particular, individual concerns, very patient, and very personable.

My mother only left Azalea because she required secure memory care. The day that she left Azalea was a very sad one for me. Had Azalea Estates had the facility to provide secure memory care, my mother would still be there today.

I continue to visit Azalea Estates from time to time. In a relatively short time, my mother and I developed some friendships that are very memorable.

Lorrie, Beth, all of you at Azalea - "Thank You!" so very much for making my mother's first assisted living experience so much better than I ever thought it could be! In my position, and being as particular as I am, I did not expect to be so satisfied, so comfortable, and so at peace, in my mind, with a different "home" for my mother. A "home", however, it was... in every sense of the word!

My grandmothers has been so happy here for over a year. She feels very safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in this setting. The quality of the employees, facility maintenance, programming, and meal services are excellent.

My Mom lived at Azalea Estates for almost 3 years. We would not have had her in any other place in the world! Lorrie and the entire staff always treated Mom and all of US like family! They loved my Mom and she loved them. They took such good care of her, more then we could of ever asked. Always above and beyond the call of duty with her. They truly care about the residents and their families and it shows in everything they do.

This facility has a host of well coordinated activities that their residents really enjoy. It gives them a sense of community and its well managed.

My mom and mother in law both live at Azalea Estates of Shreveport. I could not ask for better care, staff, or management! They have been so good to my loved ones and go above and beyond to make it feel like home to the residents....great holiday decorations and partys. Lots of activities for the residents to choose from each day...we are very comfortable with the loving care that our parents receive at Azalea Estates.

My dad lived at Azalea Estates and he loved it. He was a pistol and needed alot of activities to keep him busy, and Azalea was able to provide it. One of the best aspects of Azalea Estates is that the staff is able to provide for the needs of the residents, ensure their safety, and at the same time not take away from the residents their sense of independence.

My husband and I were invited to bring our classic car a 56 Chevy to their Sock Hop. I must say we had as much fun as the residents did. Many of the residents had their picture made with our car. We enjoyed talking to them as they were reminising back to the 50's. The Sock hop was so much fun with a band residents dancing and having so much fun. They also brought in a group of dancers who put on a good show. The activity director did a great job planning this. The Executive directors along with many other employess joined in the fun. I was very impressed how close the residents were to the directors and staff. I was able to visit with some of the residents and they told me how great the food, care and entertainment is there.

my grandmother and grandfather lived there, the grounds are very nice and large enough for people to wander around. the main area was also the dinning room which was very nice. they had a very nice activity director that seemed to really care about the residents. the staff was curtious and very helpful. all the rooms are furnished with a half kitchen and full bathroom. the rooms are well laid out and the bedroom had enough space for a king sized bed. i liked this place alot and would suggest it to anyone looking to find a assisted living home for theyre loved ones. if theyre was anything i didnt like it would have to be that its placed directly on a main road and it can be very loud for resisdents at night because of the many trucks or eighteen wheelers passing by late at night. either way its a very nice well laid out place.

Azalea Estates is an assisted living community on the outskirts of Shreveport Louisiana. This establishment has a few good quality's while most of what I experienced left me less than pleased. The facility is beautiful with a small dinning and sitting area. The hallway to the rooms are branched off into four ways coming off the dining area, so the residents don't have that far to walk when they come down for dinner. I found that the rooms were to small for a resident with a disability, as I saw one resident struggle to get out of her room with her walker. While I was at the facility I notice that there were only two nurses that were on shift at one time and that they weren't actually certified nurses they were "Companions." This made me uneasy, thinking of if something went wrong would they have the medical knowledge needed to treat a resident? My answer was no as I quickly noticed that the "companions" did not seem to pay much attention to the residents. As I left the facility I was saddened that the residents had to live in a place that they weren't cared for efficiently.
