"My mother has been living at Azalea for nearly one year. I can tell everyone she really enjoys living at Azalea. She tells her children and other family members and friends everyone is so nice, the place is so clean and the food is great. She claims she is treated like a queen.

They have many activities that keeps her active and she enjoys dancing at the age of 91. I would recommend to anyone to have their love ones live at Azalea. "

"Summerfield of Hammond was the one that I liked the best. They probably had a more reasonable price for an efficiency room than any others. So, I was happy with them. Tina was nice and helpful. At the time when I was there, they didn't have the more reasonable one open, but that was not an issue. We weren't ready to jump on it at the time, so it didn't make a lot of difference. The people were nice. They gave me a price list of all the different sizes and floor plans. They talked about a lot of things. They said they have crafts and different stuff and all of that was nice, but it's not a selling point for us because our brother is not very mobile and we may have to get away from this assisted living completely. The staff was great. It was Tina whom I mostly dealt with, but before they got me to her, everybody helped me get to the right person. The building looks new. I actually saw it when they were building it."

"My dad is in Harvest Manor Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, and he loves it there. It's a great place. The people are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. From the physical therapy standpoint to all of his aides, the nurses, the nurse practitioners, everyone is pleasant and helpful and keeps you informed of what's going on. The place is very clean and modern and just well-maintained inside and outside. They have a beautiful patio. He loves the food. As far as what he has to eat, he's very happy with that. I really can't say anything bad. There is a beauty salon, and barber salon. There's a beautiful outdoor area for them to go in with chairs and a table. The dining room is nice and they offer music at night and in the mornings also. There's music at different times. They play bingo and other games. I've seen an area, and it's warm and you can go sit there and you feel welcome. It's an area where you can visit with your loved one and talk and watch television."

"I visited this facility and have a recident. LOVE it Well taking care off. Staff friendly and willing to help. The administration a dream to work with. Overall a great place. "

"My uncle moved into Harvest Manor Nursing Home. They have been taking very good care of him. He's in custodial care and they're doing everything they can. He's currently in a semi-private room, but they're moving everyone to private rooms in February. It's an older facility, but there's nothing wrong with it. He seems to really enjoy the food, and he said they're very good cooks."

"Both of my parents have been living in Maison de Fleur's Assisted Living facility in Denham Springs, LA since July 14th, 2018 since my dad's stroke. It took them about 2 months to get acclimated and feel like they were home. From that point, they both have been extremely happy and enjoy their living experience at Maison. They enjoy the staff, the outings, the planned activities, the entertainment & parties. As the adult child helping them through their elder years, it is encouraging to know they are being well taken care of and are happy. I highly recommend Maison for all of your Assisted Living needs for your family. They have a library, Salon and weekly bible studies, too, which my parents enjoy. The food is a good, usually dessert too after each meal. Rooms are a great size and the monthly rates are reasonable."

I could go on and on about the director and asst director. They help however and whenever they can. That means a lot! They definitely go above and beyond. I am forever grateful for all the staff and residence for being so and kind! Absolute Best assisted living community around by far!! Do yourself a favor and go check them out!"

It also allows for residents to better acclimate to their surroundings and their caregivers.

No resident is "lost in the crowd" or left behind a closed apartment door to fend for themselves. Qualified caregivers provide daily meals, housekeeping, medications supervision, and personal assistance. We also take the time to communicate with families to ensure that they are well informed of all care issues. At Fidelis, caring for a small number of residents means greater attention to the care needs of our residents, and greater peace of mind for everyone. Caregivers notice subtle changes in residents quickly and are able to alert physicians or family members of warning signs and any other changes. Caregivers are always nearby and residents need not rely only on emergency pull cords or similar devices to call for help from a distant nurse's station. Each resident is cared for and treated like family. Those with memory loss or moderate, non-aggressive dementia are also well suited to a more intimate environment. Residents easily become familiar with the small setting, consistent staff and a limited number of other residents around them.To learn more about this provider’s license and review other available state reports, please visit: Louisiana Deparment of Health Adult Residential Care Directory

"The only place that I have been in is Morningside at Juban Lakes. What I liked best was there were many areas where you could go sit and be indoors, especially since we have so much heat in the summertime in Louisiana. There were lots of places and we didn't even have to go outside to get to them. There were some on each floor and then there were several on the first floor. The apartments were nicely laid out. The doors open to the inside and not the outside of the facility, so it's like being in a hotel with the doors on the inside. The apartments weren't spacious, but they were livable. Everything seemed nice when I was moving in. I was excited about it. It was beautiful. It's brand new. But things changed as I stayed there. The only staff that's there is a maintenance guy and two people in the office, and one of them is the manager of the grounds. They seemed to be very friendly and accommodating at first, and it changed over time. They had a lot of events where we had food at the events, but they don't cook there regularly. They don't offer that option. The food was interesting. Most of the time it was in keeping with whatever the event was. We had a luau, and so we had crawfish, which is a Louisiana tradition. I was growing more concerned about the structure of the building while I was living there. There were a lot of cracks in the concrete and some of them were getting wider. Each floor was concrete flooring and there were some areas on the third floor where the cracks were big enough that you could put your hand in it. And to me, that says that there is something structurally wrong, and that was one of the main reasons that I decided I needed to leave. They need somebody in there that knows what they're doing to make some changes. There are only two elevators, and there's like 102 apartments, and that's not sufficient. You have three levels with roughly 35 apartments on each level. A lot of people are on level 2 and level 3 that won't get out if there is a fire and you have to go down the stairs. They don't even have a freight elevator for moving furniture or anything like that that you could use in case of an emergency. There were no plans for what to do if something happened and the elevators weren't working for some reason. With regards to activities, there's bingo and dominoes but they are run by the residents. They don't organize things except for the events. There's a big exercise room and it's nice, but there's nobody to teach anything in it. They have a couple of rooms where you could do yoga and things like that, but there's nobody that can give you lessons unless a resident would bring somebody in, but then the resident is responsible if anything happens. There's a great game room upstairs and they've got pool tables and tables to play poker, but there's never anything organized to do in there."

"The building is old but the care is 2nd to none. I spoke with the Director and he is the most caring person I have met. Activities, games, outing, they have it all. Staff is very nice and helpful. Just seems like they really care about the residents. It’s like a big family. Rooms are nice and you can’t beat the pricing. "

"My aunt is at The Woodleigh of Baton Rouge. I was just calling around and they had availability for what she needed. My aunt's room is gorgeous. It's lovely and wonderful. The staff is very friendly. The place is very clean. It's very organized. They had a big Christmas party. All the family was invited, and we all went, and it was wonderful. My aunt enjoys the food. We've been there a couple of mornings when she was eating breakfast, and she's eating very well. They're taking care of her sugar intake, so everything is good. And the food that they served us at the Christmas party was delicious."

"When my mother was in the hospital the staff their told us that she will likely need nursing home placement. I was really skeptical and nervous about that but they provided a list of nursing homes in the area and said to go to nursing home compare on the medicare website to help me with my decision. I came across this facility and noticed that it had a 4 star rating. So, I called the facility and spoke with their staff. I told them about my concerns and they were very helpful and understanding. They went through their covid policies with us and assured us that she will be taken care of. It has almost been a year since she was admitted there but we have had no complaints and neither has my mother. I have gotten to see her almost everyday and she always tells me that she loves it there and she speaks very highly of the staff. "

"My father is in a skilled nursing unit for rehab at Flannery Oaks Guest House. It looks like he'll probably be going back home after that because he's progressing pretty well. He's been there for almost three weeks. The atmosphere is very friendly. Everyone seems to be very helpful. They are attentive to the needs of the residents, as far as administration. Any questions or things that I've needed, they responded and assisted me with those things. The first thing I noticed when I went in was how fresh and clean things were. I took a tour of the facility. Everything was very nice. Overall, it's a good environment. They were primarily assisting him with day-to-day activities as far as getting dressed and bathing, but the main deal is he's receiving rehab for his broken shoulder. He's walking better. They're kind of keeping him active and making sure he's able to function properly once he leaves. I haven't tried any of the food. However, my dad says it's OK. His room is nice. It's just him in the room by himself, so that's comforting for him and even myself when I go in to visit. It's a nice-sized room and it seems a bit comfortable. They keep them active."

"I toured Garden View Assisted Living Baton Rouge. The rooms are just average-sized rooms, but they're well-appointed. The hallways and the main facility areas are very spacious and very comfortable. They do their dining a little differently. Their memory care unit is divided into two sections and each section has its cooks, kitchen staff, and well-care staff as well in their dining area, so the memory care patients aren't all crowded together. There is a small group. There's no odor and everything's clean. It's got a lot of room and it feels warm in there. I love the design of the hallways. It's very unique."
