Assisted Living Community in Saint Tammany County, Louisiana

I liked the appearance of Avanti Senior Living at Covington. It was very clean, and they offered a lot of the same amenities. They had games, arts and crafts, a hair salon, and a lot of the same things. The rooms were well lit and adequate, and it looked a little bit more homey. I just felt like its location was farther away.

My mother-in-law has moved into Azalea Estates of Slidell. It has been excellent for her. They are very accommodating and they go out of their way to make sure her needs are met. They make sure that she gets to dinner, they make sure she is in her room for the night, they check on her in the morning, and they administer medication to her twice a day. My mother-in-law has a studio. They do daily and weekly activities. They have people that come play games like bingo, they do exercises, they do puzzles, plus, once or twice a week they go on field trips to Wal-Mart, out to a casino, or out to dinner. We are very happy with them.

I went to Brookdale Mandeville. Their room looks more like a dorm room rather than an apartment. The place is very clean. Even though it is older, they do their renovations on a regular basis. It is very nice. We didn't meet that many staff members, but I was hoping to meet more people while we were there. They had all kinds of activities going on. They were doing bingo, and people were walking their dogs. They had a room full of books if you want to read and a room where you could go, sit down and watch TV without all the other stuff, they had a place to go sit and eat with everybody, so that you have the socialization.

Brookdale Mandeville's staff was very friendly. The place is nice, and something I would consider if I needed it. The rooms were nice and I liked it. The girl who showed us around was very friendly. They have an arts and crafts area and an outdoor patio where the residents can sit outdoors. They offer three meals a day. They give people their medicine and help them with day to day routines. The place could use a little updating.

We chose here because it had the biggest room and was totally redone. They put in new floors and repainted the entire space before my parents moved in. The dining room is good. They just love it. I eat there all the time, and the food is delicious. They go to bingo almost every day, go to Kings in the Corner, and have music certain days of the week. They take my dad to dialysis three days a week.

The people at The Windsor were very friendly and pleasant to be around. They were my kind of people. I think they were one of the best around.

Dad is living in Brookdale Mandeville. They need to be more cautious. Like with housekeeping, they washed and dried his phone and they lost his glasses. I have to stay on top of them a lot. They don't bathe him if I don't go over there and check on it. For the first ten days, they didn't even bathe him until I said something. I'm paying a lot, and I feel like I should get a better service than what we're receiving. My dad was in there twice. It's got good things, but it also got bad things. The staff has gotten a little bit better. They do well with the activities. They had a little olympic day and my dad participated in that. He just started participating because I push him to get out. However, he doesn't play Bingo, cards, or watching TV in the family room.

We absolutely loved Brookdale Mandeville, but the deal breaker was that no pets are allowed. The dining room looked like a fine restaurant, which made the residents feel like they weren’t shuffled into a cafeteria. The residents were walking around, we got to talk to them, and they were extremely happy with the place. People greeted us as we were walking around. The place itself was beautiful, it was like walking into a very nice hotel with nice furniture and fresh air, and everything was clean.
