Nursing Home Communities in Hammond, LA

"My mother will be moving into Christwood, and she's going to be in independent living. I like the fact that it is so welcoming. It offers a buddy system right off the bat so that my mom can learn how to get around and meet people. It has tons of activities for her. For my mother, they have Bridge, singing, dancing, acting, choir, and writing, the things she's most interested in. We had lunch there. They have several places, and we ate in the cafe and it was delicious. The food was very good. The staff was super friendly and super helpful. It was beautiful, clean, organized, and easy to get around."

"We moved my mom to Heritage Manor of Mandeville 3 weeks ago. We chose it because it's a small facility. The staff is great. They are right there all the time. They have bingo games, puzzles, and crafts. They have a courtyard. The parking lot is kind of small. But other than that, everything's great."

"We did not like Trinity Trace Community Care Center. They weren't there enough for my father and they didn't give him enough therapy. The food was OK, but some of it was not. The physical appearance of the facility was nice, but the coffee machines and the ice cream machines were always broken. He'd press the red button and they'd come in a half an hour later. Many times, they just were sitting in the cafeteria talking, or on the phones and laughing. I'd have to go out into the cafeteria to go get someone."

"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."

"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."

"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. "

"Twin Oaks Nursing Home is one of the finest nursing and convalescent facilities in this area. One of the first thing you will notice when you walk through their doors is how clean and fresh the place is. Though the residents share a room, the rooms are large and comfortable. Each resident has their own phone and television with DIRECTV at no extra charge. They have plenty of well thought out activities for the residents such as, a pep rally on game day for our local pro. Football team. A resident's production of "The birth of a King". Since it's so close to New Orleans,every Mardi Gras, they have a Mardi Gras Ball. They pick a king and queen and a local elementary class comes by and they have a parade. They have a well trained staff that keeps tracked of the resident's medication, their nutritional needs and their overall wellbeing. They see to their doctor's appointments and provide transportation.As you can see, Twin Oaks Nursing Home is a well organize, clean and fun place for those who are in need. I highly recommend 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."
