Did NOT provide adequate care for my father and rehab was next to nothing. It was really depressing to see how people there live and there were multiple people calling out for help that got ignored.

My mother is in Metairie Health Care Center. Overall, I'm very pleased. I think the nurses are very attentive. She was in a different nursing home before coming to Metairie Health Care, and it was day and night, the assistance and the attention, the nurses that are available, and even sitting in the room with her, if she needed that. Where in other places, she was left alone. I'm always notified if anything's wrong or anything's needed. I just like their open communication. They do daily exercis…

Horrible facility and would never put another loved one here again. Lack of care caused bed soars on family member who kept having to be admitted into the hospital for fevers due to infections. He never fully recovered because of the neglect setting him back in recovery. The staff are rude and unhelpful. They definitely treat you different if you have any payment issues also.

My mother was in this nursing home and I think she had excellent care. The food could have been better but everything else was great. I highly recommend it.

I believe there are good and bad workers in every workplace. In this facility, the bad far outweigh the very few good. I would not put my loved one in this facility. My mom received poor care, even with our family visiting very frequently. I can’t imagine the care received by those who have no visitors. Poor attitudes, lazyiness, having to wait hours to receive help , an aide took her call light away from her so they wouldn’t be bothered. I definitely do not recommend this place.

My grandmother is at Metairie for rehab and she will be staying long term! She loves the activities and the staff. The young ladies that care for her are nice and make her feel special.
