The Best Nursing Home Communities in Jefferson Parish, LA

"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 have been visiting a family friend at this facility for several months. I have visited this facility different times of the day and have consistently noticed how clean the facility was. The patient care and attention to the details of daily service within the facility is the exception, not the rule of what one could expect. Best regards Tommy"

"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. "

"The atmoshpere at St. Lukes is very apeasing. When I walked in, I was greeted by the receptionist who asked if I needed any assistance in finding who I was there for. The food is better than most long-term care facilities that I have visited before, and most of the residents looked happy and well takwn care of. There were not a bunch of residents just sitting in there chairs in the hallways, like I have seen at other facilities in the past. Daily activities such as art projects, piano playing and knitting are options patients have to stay entertained. I noticed many people playing cards together in the main area that residents can conviene in. The overall experience was a good one. I will return again in the fall and I hope to see things as they were last visit. "

"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."

"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 ."

"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."

"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. "

"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. "

"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."

"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. "

"This was by far the cleanest and friendliest nursing home I’ve ever visited!!! Every time I go to visit my grandmother, her hair is combed and her teeth are still nice. Her nails are nicely cut and polished. I love that even if her caregiver was busy with another patient, someone else answers her call. They encouraged her to exercise with the group and participate in different activities. I even saw a staff member sitting to have coffee with the residents. The staff there is so attentive and have very pleasant attitudes. I couldn’t do their job. I commend them for the great work that they do. Truly a blessing to our loved ones. I’m sure I speak for all when I say that this is the type of environment we hoped for anytime we had to put our loved ones in a nursing home. "

"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""
