Nursing Home Communities in Gretna, LA

"We went to Wynhoven Living Center. That's the only one I've checked out so far. I believe there's a waiting list, but I am not sure. They said they would call if there will be an opening. The staff seemed nice, the apartments were pretty nice, and there are a lot of elderly people like my mother. They pretty much have their own apartments. It's a one bedroom with a small kitchen and a bathroom. There are always shuttle boxes that take them to the stores or to doctor's appointments. They have a little area where they play Bingo. They take only thirty percent of your income, and it's pretty appealing to me. "

"My husband was sent there for rehabilitation for fractures of both femurs. He broke both sides. I was nervous cause so much negativity is available. I want to change that trend of thought to tell you that this is an excellent facility for rehabilitation for the elderly. They are very thorough and never give up on you even when you are not your best self on occasion. Melissa and all the therapist are awesome. He is now able to stand, we are home now and he is getting walking done. They are amazing and I am forever grateful for getting my husband back!!!!"

"My mom was at Unity Nursing Home. The facility was not clean. Their first floor airconditioning unit was broken. We have to bring her fan. After I complained about the heat, she was transferred to the second floor, and it was extremely cold up there in the room that she was in. She was there for a rehab because she had a stroke, but she wasn't getting any physical therapy at all. My mom needed round-the-clock care but they didn't come in and check on her as regularly as I wanted. "

"Poydras Home is very close to our house. My daughter and I can walk there and we can visit my mom often. We also know other people whose parents are there. My mom will move there on October 16. They opened a brand new memory center with 11 rooms and staff which was very impressive. They were all very excited about the new program. There's green space, a secure garden and rubberized walkways. "

"Best place I could've asked for my mom. She's been there for many years and they really have become family. She's happy and respected which is the most important thing. So grateful."

"I had two family members at ST Margaret’s for rehab with in weeks of each other. Both got excellent care. The rooms were private and clean and all rehab rooms have been upgraded with television and cable. I toured other nursing homes and this one was by far the most home like. The staff were very accommodating and lovely. "

"Rooms are clean. Communication with staff is near impossible. Don’t even attempt to get upper management on the phone. Staff very skilled at passing the blame whenever things don’t get done, which is constantly. A lot of theft also. Laundry incompetent, lost clothes, dirty laundry piles up for days. Understaffed and likely underpaid. DO NOT put your loved ones in this place especially since Commcare took over. Daily mass is the only plus but not worth the stunning incompetence and outright negligence of this place."

"The reviews listed on this site are very old and are out of date. The facility is named St. Bernard Nursing and Rehab and the care is great! My aunt just completed her therapy and is back home and can't stop praising the staff there. She is very appreciative of how kind and friendly everyone is and wants to go back there to volunteer as soon as she can. The facility deserves the 5 stars from me. "

"Jefferson Healthcare was very nice and had a homey atmosphere and nice people. The attitude of the people and the people who work there gave it a family-like atmosphere. "

"The rooms are clean The residents has been taken care of due this pandemic. Family members can call and speak with their family members too. You are allowed to see them from the window. My family seems cared for each time is visit. There are some wonderful nurses and aids caring for the residents during the COVID19 pandemic. I think an outside gazebo would be an idea place to take the residents members to get vitamin K. The facility is normally decorated for the holidays and really makes the residents very happy."

"St Joseph of Harahan They have a great staff. Everyone is very caring and personable. They listen to all of our concerns and they are quick to solve any issues that may arrives. They have planned activities every day and a fantastic activities Director.The nurses the supervisor of the CNN ‘s. and the CNN’s are the best ,we are very happy we chose this facility for our loved one and would definitely recommend this facility ."

"My dad moved into St. Anthony's Nursing Home. The place is pretty old. But as far as the care, I feel like the care is very good. The staff is very nice and very reliable. They call me for everything that changes with my dad. Any changes, they notify me. The rooms are good sized. The dining area is large and spacious."

"I don't know how to begin this but by saying excellent. The service and care that the staff provided for my sister was huge! The staff called me and gave me updates on my sister and gave her so much warmth. The faciality called me during Hurricane Ida with daily updates telling they had Food, Water & Power -- plenty of air conditioning. I never needed to worry. If you need help they are a great people to have along with you. St Catherine's provided hospice there for my sister and made her very comfortable. In her final hours even in the middle of the night they called to inform me that it was getting close to the end. I went and they comforted me as well. I held my big sisters hand to her last breath, I love her so much. It pains me that i lost her. But, she is in a better place. Thank you Colonial Oaks for everything you did for Lori rest in peace "sisterwoman" I love you. from your baby "brotherman""

"Having to place a love one in a facility is never an easy decision. My wife was placed at Riverbend four years ago requiring rehab status post a total knee replacement. From the admission process, patient care services, and therapy services, I could not have asked for a better facility. She received the BEST services and was able to rehab back to home. Now, fast forward to four years later we were faced with another required stay and a bit more complicated than the last stay. Riverbend has always been my #1 pick above all!! To see my wife's face light up with the comfort that the facility and staff bring to her during such hard times with her health is certainly a great relief for us both. Her words spoken are such "this is really such a beautiful place and I am glad I am able to return as they all treat me like family." The anxiety she has had about rehab this time has certainly been reduced after her extensive hospital stay knowing she would be able to return back to Riverbend to rehabilitate. From being in the bed for many weeks to today being able to sit in a wheelchair for the first time in a month has been one of the biggest milestones. Baby steps are great and we take them as they come but to hear her say "I think I am going to live now" with a huge smile across her face will never be forgotten! The comfort of knowing that she is right here with the most caring and loving group of professionals warms my heart tremendously. We are definitely RIVERBEND PROUD and we highly recommend their facility!"
