Holiday Nouveau Marc

William

Nouveau Marc was very nice and it was the one facility we would consider moving into. We saw a 1-bedroom and an efficiency room, they were spacious and very good. The dining room was really good and the meal preparations were good. The menu looked very good, too. They had several TV rooms and a courtyard, and they were all very nice. The staff was nice and the place was clean and well-maintained.

Nouveau Marc is very nice, and it has very nice people in it. They are a very people-oriented place. They have bingo, they have that game where you throw the bean bag in a hole, they play cards and have little games where the horses race. There’s also exercise programs and church services for all denominations. The food is OK. The thing that won us over is my mother just felt more at home when we walked in, and she liked the appearance of it on the outside.

My dad has been in Nouveau Marc for about 6 weeks now, and so far things have been really fine. I like that he has meals. The staff is the best. They are friendly and accommodating. He has a lovely room. I like it because he has his own privacy. He can go out and interact with people if he wants. It is clean and well-maintained. They come in every week. They seem to have gardeners there everyday. The ground is beautiful. The location is good. It is a bit far from me, but that's just the way it is. He seems to be adjusting well. He is a social person, so he needs to be around people, and that's what I like. I think it is good for him to have his meal with other people. When he goes down to the dining room, he has all his friends and people he can talk to. I think it is better for him because he actually gained a little weight. Right now, he likes bingo, and he loves when people come and play music or sing. There are a lot of things for them.

Nouveau Marc is a nice place. It is clean and comfortable. The rooms are not very big, but we have to downsize which we knew we had to do to begin with. However, I don't like that the bathroom is outside of the kitchen and not in the bedroom. They do serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and they offer transportation. They have a beauty salon and a barbershop. They have different parties like Mardi Gras and Fourth of July. They have a wall where they have all the veterans' pictures on it, and it is nice. Everything is neat. The outside looks good too.

I visited Nouveau Marc, but I didn't care for it. The food and the service in the dining room were not that good. It took an hour for me to get fed with the other people. The residents were constantly complaining, so I didn't like that place at all. The rooms were not great but OK.

Visitor

As soon as I walked into Nouveau Marc, there was a smell that wasn't very pleasant. It wasn't as clean as the other places I visited. I didn't feel as secure because the locks on the doors weren't very big and just like the locks on the interior doors in my house. The lady showed me the menu and all of the activities that they had. The residents seemed to be a little older, which would have been a concern. It's a senior home, but they were a little aged for me. I'm not really pleased about the location, and it's more expensive. The staff was OK but weren't as informative or as friendly as the staff at the other place I visited, though. They had a little calendar of activities that the residents can participate in.
