Nursing Home Communities in Baton Rouge, LA

"Heritage House is close to where my aunt lives and to where I live. It seemed pretty good, so far. They maybe a little helpful, but they do have a handful of patients right now. They do activities with them every day. "

"My visit to The Care Center was pleasant. I visited this facility because my mother-in-law lived here before she passed on. She was no longer able to live alone in her apartment, so our family searched for an assisted living facility. Upon finding the facility we conducted a tour and decided that The Care Center would be the place where she would reside. The staff was friendly as well as personable. They learned her name very quickly to make her feel at home, as well as learning mine, my husband's, as well as my sister-in-law's name, being that we would be visiting her quite frequently. The amenities were good as well. The room itself was nicely sized since she would not be doing much moving around on her own. The facility itself was nice in that it provided exercise for her since she was unable to really move around a lot. My mother in law passed away months ago, but at least her transition was done around people who loved and cared for her the most. "

"Overall, I really like the place. You have a few that are rude that work there but that's usually at any place you go to now. But the majority seems to really care and take care of things right away. I've notice that they've gotten a lot better with the odor. I understand by it being a nursing/retirement home that it will tend to have odors because some can't bring themselves to the restroom/bathroom but it could still be under control where the odor isn't as strong. But lately I haven't had that problem. They also do a lot of activites with the residents such as family night, game night etc..and that warms my heart to know that they're not just being looked after like a child but interacted with like people. But my relative has never complained or had any serious issues and I would recommend this place to others that may want to place a loved one in 24 hour care sure as this establishment. "

"We just had a tour of St. Clare Manor. From what I’ve seen, it seemed OK. As far as the care, I would give it four stars. "

"My husband is in Sterling Place, a nursing home in Baton Rouge. He's under hospice. He's been there for several weeks, and I haven't had any problems with them. The staff has all been very nice to me, very caring, and very concerned. They have activities, but my husband is not a participant. His dementia is very advanced now, so he's not into it. They've been remodeling since the hurricane, when they've had problems. It's been very nice. Everything I've seen there has been very nice. It's been very well-kept. For visitations, you can't really go to the rooms. You can only stay downstairs. The outdoor space has a couple of patios. I've only been on one of the patios in the courtyard. The location is close to the hospital, and it's not difficult to get to for me."

"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."

"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. "

"Baton Rouge was a hospital, but I was there for therapy after surgery. I had a real good experience the first time and then I went back the second time. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. It was very clean, there was no smell, and it was very nice. The food was very good. All I did was physical therapy. They have a room where you can go do puzzles and stuff like that. I was real comfortable in my room, but it was very tiny. There's hardly any visitors. The bathroom was very nice and very accommodating. The room had a big lounge chair and a small couch that opened, and if anybody sat on the couch, even a short person, their knees would hit the hospital bed."

"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 mother has been in St James Place for less than a month now. So far, it's been outstanding. They have worked very closely with us, from my initial visit up to now. There's not a single negative thing that we could say. It's been great. Her room is just a single-person room, and she has no roommate, so it's a private room. I don't recall any room options that they have in the memory care section, but I like the security of it, and that's important to us. We have access to her, not just at the window or on the cellphone, and we can visit her twice a week. Their prices are on the high side, but they were willing to negotiate with us to help meet our budget."

"Moved my Mother to OJCC in August 2016. The staff was tremendous in helping my Mother adjust to her new home, and they have been very attentive and caring to her needs thus far. The place is clean and neat, and provides a great atmosphere for my Mother. The shift nurses are always, always responsive to my calls and concerns, and seem to genuinely care about my Mother. I highly recommend OJCC. My Mother actually gets much better care here than she did in her previous Assisted Living residence. "

"The workers are very friendly, polite, and welcoming. They speak to you and greet you as you come in. This nursing home has a very fun, open, and entertaining atmosphere that will keep your loved one busy than most nursing homes that tend to be more quiet and boring. There is always a janitor cleaning on the hall when we come into visit. The workers are always present and working the floor if you need them for anything while you’re there. I really have no complaints other than the fact that they don’t go out much for outside trips to the casino, mall, etc like some nursing homes do. When I asked them about this they said that they used to do little outings but then the Coronavirus pandemic hit and that had to stop. Not sure if they plan to start back doing it or not. I’ve met mostly all of the employees there and I’m going to choose to remain anonymous. But I must say the all of workers I’ve met or talked to over the phone does an amazing job with my sister. We are unable to take care of her on our own and can’t visit as often as we like but they keep in contact with us and keep us informed of everything we need to know. I call and get little updates from the nurses every now and then. They call me for care meetings over the phone and give me a detailed report of everything going on with my sister. Feels good to sleep good at night knowing she is at a good nursing home with people who truly cares and love her. They go above and beyond to make her feel special and loved. "

"The staff at Landmark South Nursing & Rehabilitation Center have all been very friendly and very helpful. It seems to be a beautiful facility. They restrict visitations, limit number of visitors, and require COVID screening upon entry. My mother-in-law says that they feed her well. I think the value for money is excellent."
