The Best Senior Living Communities in Slidell, LA

"SummerHouse Park Provence was a large place, more spread out, and they had a beautiful pond in the back that would have been a great addition for my mom. It was a much larger place compared to other places that we went through. We didn't interact with anybody while we were there, I only met with the director. It was very clean and sanitary, and it had more of a hospital- type setting."

"I stayed at Trinity Neurologic Rehabilitation Center for a while in the rehabilitation. The activity section is very good; it keeps you very busy with creative stuff, nice outings, and trips outside. The rooms were kept very clean and neat in a friendly environment. The food is descent. They have a beautiful open area in the middle of the building with trees, and some of the residents do gardening and grow tomatoes and eggplant. They do arts and crafts, and the residents paint. Every couple of months, they will take us to the casino or an ice cream social, and they have transportation. "

"My friend is in Greenbriar Community Care Center. The facility is beautiful. Everything that you would need is there. The staff is wonderful. I have not tasted the food, but my friend likes it. They just had a big Easter party with Easter egg hunts, and they have bingo and music entertainment that comes in. The size of the room is great. It's not too small, not too big. It's a good size, and it's a private room."

"My dad was at Heritage Manor of Slidell, and we were very pleased with them. They have caring and compassionate staff. The rooms were spacious. It was nice. He enjoyed the food. They had activities for the residents, too."

"The staff is very friendly and the ground are always kept very nice. All request are handled promptly and professionaly by a very professional staff. "

"I liked Oak Park Village at Slidell better. It was more average. They had fewer rooms. The building was smaller. It was more personable. So, it's like everything was kind of almost on one floor. It seemed lower to middle class, and that was something more of what I was looking for. I didn't see anything that was gross or dirty. It didn't have a smell. The facility was all good. They have a little back patio area. They had a lot of space inside like sitting areas/chair areas for the elderly who weren't that mobile, but the seniors were mostly independent there so it didn't look like a lot of their residents were going to be outside. It was pet-friendly so there was a walking path for their pets."

"I went to Summerfield Senior Living of Slidell. I think that one is older and the outdoor area wasn't quite as big. But the rooms were nice and the place was clean. It's just we chose to stay in Gulfport. We didn't have any food there. We just had a tour. But the place was nice. They showed us some apartments. It has a very impressive large room for a studio. My sister just wanted a place with a wall. But the rooms are a nice size, so it's a little more expensive."

"My mom is a resident of Anderson at Summerfield Memory Care. I have no complaints. Everything looks awesome, and the staff is fantastic. The marketing person I spoke with was great, and the nursing administrator, everybody. I haven't had any bad experiences from the time I went in and saw the place, got the tour of it, to actually getting her in. Everything went really well; everyone was really kind and helpful, and seemed to understand what her needs would be. It's smaller than where she's coming from, but it's great. They have kitchen, living room, and the bathroom is right in her bedroom; it looks really nice. I wasn't there for her with breakfast, but my brother said breakfast went really well, and her dinner, she actually ate all of it. I was sitting there watching her, she seems to really enjoy it. I think they are too expensive."

"My friend is so happy at this facility. On the older side but clean and well maintained. Staff is friendly and has a good relationship with visitors and their residents. Excellent rehab program"

"My sister was at Whispering Pines of Picayune. I liked it. They had no warning that we were coming to look, and that was just right around 10:00 in the morning, but there was no smell, and it was just spotless. I also liked the fact that it was all private rooms. It's billed as independent living for seniors. In other words, if they have a car, they can leave. In my sister's case, she was bedridden, she could not get up and she was in hospice, and the hospice nurse just raved about how good they were. They took care of my sister, who just passed away. We paid extra to have my sister monitored every two hours. The staff members were helpful, and kind and did what they said they would do. When my other sister and I went in to look at it, we both came back and told my sister that either one of us would be happy to live there. Picayune is a poor place and it's not my favorite by any means, but Whispering Pines was like a gem hidden away. It was awesome. My sister was an excellent cook and baker and very picky, and she said all the meals were good. Once a month, they get together with the residents and ask if there's something they would like on the menu or if they'd rather not have it on the menu, and they got feedback from the residents. If you move in there, you don't have to worry about anything. They do your laundry, they do your food, they have games, and they have a movie night. All of those are included in what you get. However, they do not furnish the furniture, so you bring your stuff from home. "

"My mom is at Pontchartrain Health Care Center. So far, I've been very pleased with it. They're good staff. The people seem like they care about the patients. She has only been there a short time, but we are pleased with it. The food is okay. She's not making any complaints about it. They have activities and everything for them. I would commend the staff very highly."

"Fidelis Northshorez II was a little bit newer than the other place we looked at, and it was gorgeous. The exterior was beautiful, and the inside was wonderful. The owner was great. My experience with them was five-stars. It was different from a commercial, larger place, but that's what I liked about it. It was great. I was impressed."

"My husband was in Picayune Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center. I've been there a bunch of times. The people were marvelous. It was very clean, but it's a very old place. They had so much help and the people were very helpful. The place was clean. There was no odor or anything. It was a great place. If he could have stayed in that State, we wouldn't have moved him. We would've kept him there, but Medicaid wouldn't let him stay there. I didn't taste their food, but it looked good. He's picky and he ate the food. They had him get up and pull himself up and walk, that type of thing. They had him sitting in a wheelchair and using his feet to walk to make himself go. They had him doing word search puzzles and he loved doing that. They're reasonable. He stayed three days extra because the insurance had run out and we couldn't get him moved. They charged $230 a day, which I thought was great. Everybody was very happy. Even the people who worked there were all friendly and seemed happy and kept the patients talking and laughing. I thought it was a great place. I wish he could have stayed there."

"Fidelis Northshore I was wonderful. The two owners were very hands-on, knowledgeable, very friendly, and spent a lot of time with me (more than once), whenever they were available. I thought that the care was excellent. They really cared, and when my husband was there they would Facetime with me three times a day. It was very clean. It was a home, and I liked that when you walked in you felt like you were in somebody's house, except they had a lot of recliners and things like that. It was very homey. I went to the bathroom once, and it was just sparkling clean. It was on a wooded two-acre lot, and it looked just like a house. It was well maintained outside, too. I was never there for a meal, but I think they fed him all the time with snacks and everything. I walked in once, and they were all sitting at a table coloring and doing different things. He was at a different facility that was very expensive and the nursing type care was very good, but I think Fidelis Northshore I was a better place, and it was a much better value all the way around."
