Nursing Home Communities in Metairie, LA

"I was able to get a lot stronger and go home thanks to therapy and the people that cared for me. I was upset to be in a nursing home, but am grateful for them now that I see what they do."

"I've been in a rehab program at St. Margaret’s at Mercy. The care has been good. The unit is very pleasant, decent, and clean. Somebody comes in every day and cleans up, and brings me whatever I need (like towels). The staff is very friendly and very helpful. They don't have a menu and they don't really cater to your likes or dislikes, but the food is decent. I'm pretty flexible about food, so I'm doing OK. They have puzzles here, but I don't do puzzles, and they don't have newspapers, which I think is a problem, but my son just brought me something to read. Therapy is good. It's regular everyday, Monday to Saturday, and I did treatment yesterday as well. It's usually an hour of OT and an hour of PT in the morning. They have a nice common room with a TV. They have hook-ups, so you can also put a TV in your room."

"The reviews listed on this site are very old and are out of date.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. "

"My experience with the facility was very positive. The staff were very friendly and helpful. When we arrived we were politely welcomes into the facility by a member of staff and shown to where the small party was being held. The entrance of the facility was very secure and as soon as we entered the building staff were aware of us. Once we were shown to the room the staff asked us when we would like my friends mum to be brought round as it was a surprise. The staff has provided food and drink for the party at a small extra cost and it was exceptionally laid out. The facilities were excellent there was plenty of room in the building for wheel chair access. There were visitor restrooms and resident restrooms and also separate rooms for visitors to go in if needed. The staff were excellent at helping out with the food and drinks but also made the party feel private. The staff came to check my friends mum was ok in a number of occasions and if she needed the restroom. After the party was over I went to my friends mum room to have a look. I was pleasantly surprised it was tastefull decorated and also had a personal touch to it with my friends mums paintings. The building was also very clean and tidy. Overall my experience there was fantastic and the only negative feedback I have is that some of the walls in the corridors needed a lick of paint. I would definitely recommend the facility to others and would consider it if the time ever came for me or my family to need an assisted living facility. "

"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."

"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. "

"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!!!!"

"Maison De'ville is a very clean facility. My grandmother enjoys staying there. There are various activities for the residents to take part in during the week. The nurses and other caregivers are extremely friendly. They are very attentive to the needs to the residents and go out of their way for the residents needs. My grandmother is a very picky eater, one of the nurses provides her with special foods. They do their best to make each resident feel special. During the holidays the home is decorated, groups come in to visit the residents, and special meals are served. Seems like every time I visit her (about once every 2 weeks) a group has come through the home or the residents have new (expensive, name brand!), clothing donated from the community. "

"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."

"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."

"We looked at Woldenberg Village, but they didn't have any vacancies. They also didn't have a meal plan. They had the usual activities and amenities, like a workout room, a place to play cards, and transportation to the mall or to your doctors' appointments. The apartments were set up separately like a small village, not like in a big building with hallways, which is why they call them villas. The room was adequate and had its own kitchen and a little back area where you could sit out or have some plants."

"I am a patient on the rehab section of the facility. Been here since 9/28/2016. The employees, nurses, CNA's, maintenance personnel, everyone I have had contact with that represent Belle Vie are wonderful people. They do not hesitate to help. Throughout the day and evening occasionally a staff member will pop into my spacious room and check if I need anything, or engage in casual conversation. They are genuine and true. The facility is very clean and my private room is larger than a standard motel room. Digital TV and I was allowed to bring in and use my personal computer. 90% of the food is prepared in house, cooked from scratch. Even the soup is prepared from scratch. If you are given a choice, Belle Vie is the place!! "

"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. "

"Ormond Nursing & Care Center is good and everyone seems happy. My mom is there and they're getting good care and the staff is really friendly. They have church services, bingo, card games, puzzles, and movies, and there's a nice outdoor patio area that they socialize on. The food is also good."
