Assisted Living Communities in Kenner, LA

"My grandmother lived in an assisted living facility. She enjoyed living there. The facility was set up like a hotel. There were many floors, perhaps more than six or seven. Each resident had their own apartment. Each apartment door opened up an inside hallway much like a hotel. On the first floor was a cafeteria that reminded me of a restaurant style cafeteria. Although my grandmother enjoyed spending much of her time alone, the facility was known to hold many activities for the residents to attend if they wanted. Even though this was a facility for more elderly people, when visiting in my grandmother's apartment I never felt like it was anything more than simply her independent apartment in what felt like an apartment complex. I'm hoping she felt the same as well. "

Fidelis Residential Care Homes is owned and operated by two Registered Nurses with over 35 years of ER and Senior Care experience. It was formed to provide affordable, safe, and comfortable living accommodations with 24-hour personal care for our elderly community without sacrificing the warm feeling of home. We view our homes as “the caring alternative to nursing homes and the intimate alternative to assisted living.” Family members and loved ones will get the attention and care that they deserve, but are not able to get in a large institutional facility. Regulated by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, our small assisted living facilities may care for those individuals who, because of the ageing process or physical frailty, may no longer be able to live safely at home, but who do not need nor desire a more institutional setting, such as a skilled nursing facility. While many residents choose Fidelis simply because they want a smaller setting, others with physical limitations (such as difficulty walking, or those with medical conditions that require close monitoring) also thrive here. Some residents may have had recent hospital stays or are completing physical therapy after an injury or operation. Until complete recovery, additional service such as physical therapy or home health care can be arranged to assist them as needed.To learn more about this provider’s license and review other available state reports, please visit: Louisiana Deparment of Health Adult Residential Care Directory

"We’re going to place my mother at Brookdale Kenner. They were very accommodating, very friendly, and very helpful. The room seemed adequate and large enough for a bit of furniture, and her has a large walk-in closet. They have a beauty salon and barber shop, a nice courtyard, a game room for cards. The dining room is basically like a small hotel dining room. "

"I visited The Atrium for my friend. It was very clean. It's two-story, and it is all-interior access, but there is an elevator. It is very tropical with the plants. Each room was like a converted apartment complex, where somebody has their own place with a beautiful kitchen and living room, and it is not set up more like studio-type setup. Then you just bring all your own furniture. They have three meals a day. They also have a memory-care side of the property, so my friend could have gone from one side to the other, it would have really worked out well. As for those who are more independent, they have a beautiful laundry room. What was most remarkable was that it was most reasonable of all the assisted-living places. The staff was very friendly. They helped me a lot on the phone. In fact, the director had even agreed to meet my friend while she was in the nursing to pre-evaluate her to make sure that everything would be a good fit. They were extremely helpful. They did have a lot of different activities. I saw a lot of people feeling very comfortable just being around in little general meeting areas. I didn't see anybody cranky or crabby or upset. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. "

"My father is at St Francis Villa Assisted Living right now. He has been there for about two weeks now. My mother-in-law had been there for about six years before she passed away. We looked at other ones. They were great homes, but none of them had any openings available. St. Francis had an opening, so we put him in there. They have great food. The apartments are nice. They're clean. They've taken care of my father very well and also my mother-in-law when she was there. They have an abundance of activities. Somebody comes and plays the piano once a day. They have ice cream socials. They have singalongs. They have exercise and crafts. They do a lot there. The staff is very nice and very attentive. They have kept me informed with anything that happens, when it happens. The last time I ate there was on a Friday, and they had catfish stuffed with crab meat. It's clean and nice. They come in once a week and clean the rooms if they need it. They take care of my father's clothes and everything. Their cost is slightly lower than the rest of them that we went to, so I guess it's a good value from what I have looked at. I looked at three other places. This was the cheapest, and the facilities pretty much are about the same. The staff introduced everybody that would be working with my father. They serve three meals a day."

"Audubon Care Homes - Dreyfous House was phenomenal. The memory care was gorgeous, very light, very spacious, very relaxing, and clean. It was perfect. I loved it. The staff was very kind and very nice. They have a room with lots of sensory toys, they offer pet therapy, musical therapy, and a lot of activities. They were the best. They had a beautiful outdoor area and they had a lot of sheltered outside areas. The price was just out of our ballpark a little bit."

"My Mom started out in Skilled Nursing after falling and breaking several things. We were so satisfied with Colonial Oaks that we wanted her to become a resident. She was able to get in and after settling down, not without some anxiety she is now very content. She loves her new friends n the employees. My mom is very sweet n easy going n in return that is how she is treated. She loves playing bingo n getting her hair done every Tuesday. The highlight of her week. We visit often because my mom had 11 children n we feel she did her best with us n that’s how we should treat her. We were very scared at first, that she maybe mistreated or not taken care of like we would take care of her. My mom has a roommate n they get along fine but my mom only stays in her room to sleep. My mom is 86. It’s always clean, there’s a man always sweeping n mopping, they always answer the phone when I call n they have always addressed any issues we had. If my mom has a problem she lets them know and they take care of it. I want to thank Cindy, Clem, Don, Sasha, Renee, Ms Jenny, n Angela many others that I have left out for making my mom feel like she has a family at Colonial Oaks. "

"Beau Maison by Peristyle Residences was very, very nicely taken care of. It was very neat and very clean. The workers were very kind and wonderful. We loved it. We went to see the memory care and they have pet therapy and music therapy for the residents. We were very impressed. It's very spacious, very light, and very welcoming. It was beautiful. It really was. The rooms were large and they had a lot of room for activities for them to move around inside and outside."

"My dad is currently in Fidelis Scofield House, which is a level 2 assisted living facility. He has been there for three weeks now. I like that it's a home-like environment. With only eight residents, the caregiver-to-resident ratio is much better, which is great. I think my dad gets better quality care there. He is currently in a semi-private unit. Unfortunately, that's all they had available when we needed it. While I would have preferred a private room for him, it is working out. I do think there is a lack of maintenance, but overall, the facility is fairly clean. They have a big eating kitchen area, and most residents sit at the table and eat there. However, my father is just at the point where he is barely eating. Should he be able to do that, that would be nice. They also have a nice living area with recliner chairs, television, and all those amenities for their residents."

"We visited our friend at The Blake at Colonial Club. Our friend was well cared for. She had issues with a tendency to fall because she had fallen and broken her hip before she had to go into that community. After she got out of rehab, the family placed her there. Because of a fall while she was living alone, she hit her head and had bleeding on the brain, which triggered a slight case of dementia. So, she had issues remembering where her room was at The Blake, and so they had to have special people constantly aware of her whereabouts, and they were very attentive to that need. The facilities were very pleasant. The dining area was attractive, and the facility where they hosted the Parkinson's event was present. The receptionist was quite helpful in directing us to where we needed to go. The facility was very secure. While we were there at the Parkinson's event, I noticed that a large group of the in-house patients were being entertained with an activity, and I think it was bingo. The parking area was very adequate."
