"Academy House Residential Care Homes - Harvard House only had 8 to 10 people, and they could relate to each other better, which I think would be more conducive for my aunt because she's not a big- scale type of person. It gave you more of a homey environment. They do things as a group. They all go to dinner at the same time, so you're not isolated and left to kind of decide on your own. Their price was $150 a day, which is significantly different than the other place, and what they had to offer was more conducive to her personality. If I had to choose, that's probably what I would choose for her. It was very clean and very appropriate. You had options of private or semi-private rooms. The interaction with other people was very positive, and I think that that was the most positive thing for them. There was a small number of staff, so they get to know the person. The price difference was significant, too. Because it was small and accommodating, that was the most conducive thing and inviting thing for them. The staff was very helpful. They go out on outings, they do the laundry, and they provide companionship and that type of stuff (I consider that an amenity). They have everything that supports their needs. You get to meet the staff because the house is more confined instead of a giant building. Everybody was nice, but I don't know the care that they give. All of the residents were happy and appropriate."

"Ville Ste. Marie Senior Living Community is a very nice place. Everybody is friendly, and it seems to be very organized. The staff member who toured me just got straight to the point about everything, and wasn't pushy or anything like that. She gave me all the information and showed me what I wanted to see. She gave me brochures and information. Everything I asked for, she pretty much got that for me. The apartment is really nice. Everything is clean and nice. I looked at the dining area, but I didn't try any food. It is spacious. It has more space than I thought it would have."

"I went to see Inspired Living at Kenner, and I was impressed with their memory care facility. I thought that they were going above and beyond. It was wonderful. They had no fluorescent lighting, so it wasn't institutional-looking. They had nice amber lights, and it smelled clean. The dining room was full of everyone who was living there. It was kind of at the end of breakfast when I came in. I've gone to see facilities somewhere else, and their dining areas are empty. That tells you that if nobody is there, then the facility is not promoting community. They're not promoting people to get out of their rooms and socialize. We also came across a lady who came up to me and asked if I had found my daughter, and the lady who was giving the tour said we found her and we're all good. That was an example to me of how they react. I just thought it was wonderful that even though she was doing a tour, she stopped and made sure that this lady was okay. She didn't correct her and say I was doing a tour and not looking for my daughter because they say that doesn't help the situation. If you correct them constantly, then it just makes them more confused. She said that there is always a cook. I've been to places where they have three meals, and they're at certain times of the day, so if the residents don't eat, then they don't get anything. I've also seen places where the amount of food that they give is just pitiful. I don't see how somebody can survive on that little bit of food. It was kind of like a plate at a hospital. In this facility, she said that there's always someone in the kitchen. If they want a hamburger in the middle of the night, they can have a hamburger in the middle of the night, and I thought that was great. The staff seemed helpful and happy to be working there. They didn't seem disgruntled or aggravated. They had a couple of outdoor spaces, and they were very nice. The facility was on a chunk of land, so there were areas for the residents to walk out into green grass. They had trees, and they had a moat, but it was on the backside of a wrought iron fence, so you could see the water, but you wouldn't be able to fall into it. Seeing water and all that is very soothing, so that was another plus for me. You could go and sit over by the water if you wanted. They also had a screened-in area, which is great, because in the evening, when the mosquitoes get bad, you can still go sit outside."

"I toured Brookdale Mandeville. It's a great community and a very nice place. Lots of sunshine and lots of private rooms. I liked it, and that they had a lot of small rooms instead of huge rooms. They're very very cheerful and the dining facility looks good. I only met one person, and she wasn't the person to really do the job. It was a Saturday, so she was not a regular person. I knew that she was well-received by the people because I could see the reaction of the people to her."

"Toured the Windsor with my parents and it was amazing! The entire community was just renovated and everything is so bright and clean. The residents all stopped and talked to us because they didn't recognize us. They all told us how much they loved living there and that made a huge difference to my parents. They already made friends and they don't even live there yet. We toured the three different style apartments and they were all so nice. They were very large and everything was fresh and new. They really liked the 1BR and the 2BR. Every room or hallway smelled so clean, much different than our other tours. The marketer was so polite and charming and he had so much patience with my parents. Truly can not wait till they decide to sell their home and move into the Windsor. The food also looked really good, we were able to tour the dining room during lunch and had we not eaten beforehand we would have definitely taken the marketer up on lunch. Best tour by far!"

"I went to Azalea Estates of Slidell for my mom. It was a very welcoming facility. The director was very nice and very helpful as far as working with us on a budget. I got a tour of one of the one-bedroom apartments they have, and they were very spacious with nice amenities and showers and all that, so that part was a big plus. They have three square meals a day, nursing care, and activities. They shuttle the residents to and from doctors' appointments and the grocery store. And they have game nights and things of that nature. The staff was very nice and very, very helpful. The facility was very nice and well-kept."

"I don't know how to begin this but by saying excellent. The service and care that the staff provided for my sister was huge! The staff called me and gave me updates on my sister and gave her so much warmth. The faciality called me during Hurricane Ida with daily updates telling they had Food, Water & Power -- plenty of air conditioning. I never needed to worry. If you need help they are a great people to have along with you. St Catherine's provided hospice there for my sister and made her very comfortable. In her final hours even in the middle of the night they called to inform me that it was getting close to the end. I went and they comforted me as well. I held my big sisters hand to her last breath, I love her so much. It pains me that i lost her. But, she is in a better place. Thank you Colonial Oaks for everything you did for Lori rest in peace "sisterwoman" I love you. from your baby "brotherman""

"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."
