My father-in-law passed away. He was able to move into Fidelis Care V. It was assisted living, which I guess has a potential to turn into the long-term care. He had Alzheimer's and dementia. I can't say our experience was the greatest under the circumstances with COVID. We could go visit, but we had to sit on the porch, so you truly didn't know how his living conditions were inside. We were only allowed to visit on the porch. On the day we moved him in, there was some construction going on, which they made us aware of it, but even when I went to pick up his items after he passed away, that same construction was still going on, so it wasn't as almost finish as they made us believe when we moved him in. The move in process was pretty good of course; because it's the first time they're moving you in, they're getting your money. The move out process, when I went to pick up his items, she looked at me and she said, "Are you his daughter?" and I said, "Well, I'm his daughter-in-law," and she said, "Oh, OK." And that's all she said. There was no: "I'm so sorry for your loss," nothing like that, just, "Oh, OK, let me go get the stuff." To me that's just common sense. These are your healthcare workers that don't even have the common sense to just say, "Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss, you know, let me help you get his stuff," it was just, "Oh, are you his daughter? Oh, OK." His room was a private room. I had to clean it when I got there, and she kept saying, "Oh no, we will gonna get somebody." He was coming in and it wasn't swept, it wasn't mopped. It was kinda haphazard. The outside of the community was beautiful, it was on a beautiful piece of property. The inside, I could tell they had done some updates to it. The inside was decent, but when I went to put his stuff in the room there were no real locks on the window. Like it's very easy, and I'm like if you're dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia, you would think you would have a better window for security. I opened it up and realized this window just rolled up and down, and there was nothing to hinder it. The value and pricing, that's where they get you, and it's good.

About Fidelis Care V
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.
