"St. Anthony's was positive and good. The rooms were small and mostly had two people. The staff was very nice, and there were a lot of them. Mom says the food is usually good. They just finished doing some Mardi Gras and did some Valentine's stuff."

"Mom is in one of the houses of Peristyle Residences called the Beau Mason, and it is gorgeous, very bright, clean, and gets lots of light. The staff is wonderful, very warm, kind, very patient, and do everything they can to make her happy and comfortable. I know my mother really enjoys the music therapy and I think they are planning to start art therapy soon. I am not sure what the schedule is for the pet therapy, but she has only been there a few weeks. The place has only been open a few weeks, so I am hoping they’ll get activities scheduled very soon. They have music scheduled once a week. The dining area is beautiful. There are actually several places a person could eat, and the food is very good."

"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."

"I toured Old Metairie Gardens by Peristyle for my parents and I thought it was very nice. It looked clean, and the people in there looked like they were doing fine. The person who gave the tour seems very confident. The bedrooms, common area, and the bathrooms were well-laid out and seemed ok to me. They seemed like they had a good operation there and people seemed content."

"The place was great and beautiful. I did see the therapy room, and it was nice. "

"My dad will be moving into the Jo Ellen Smith Living Center. It was convenient to get to because of the location. It's near our home. They have a caring staff. The facility was very clean and organized. They have some activities to keep him engaged, and he can socialize there. The staff members were very knowledgeable, and caring, and answered all of our questions. They were engaged in the process. They have everything that my dad needs to socialize and engage with others. They have a salon and an entertainment room. They have bingo and all kinds of activities."

"The facility always has a warm cozy atmosphere and the staff is always smiling and willing to help you."

"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."

"It was absolutely beautiful. I saw the rooms and the grounds. They took me on a tour of the acres, and it was very nice. The staff people were absolutely wonderful. It is exactly where I want my mother-in-law to be. I did not like the drive-in, which was kind of dismal, but once I got inside, it was beautiful. I went inside and saw everything, and everybody was receptive. It really was great."
