15 Continuing Care Communities in Orleans County, Louisiana

Kimberly

We have selected The Landing at Behrman Place for my mother. The reason we chose it was because of the price and because it had everything else that I was looking for. The community was very nice. They're very compassionate. I'm just very pleased with it. There's nothing special with the activities. They have an activity room and an exercise room. They serve three meals a day. They allow pets, which was something that was important to us. The dining area was nice. They have a chef actually.

I visited The Landing at Behrman Place. It was independent living, but they didn't have anything to cook in the room, and you have to go to a dining room to eat. You couldn't even make coffee in your room, which turned me off. The physical environment seemed to be OK and clean, and it had a nice atmosphere. The dining room was set up nicely with small tables of two to four chairs, and the people who ate there all the time were together at one table. I saw a sign for the salon, and the staff seemed nice and pleasant.

My dad moved into Homelife in the Gardens last week, and everything seems to be going pretty well. I was very impressed. They serve three meals a day, and do laundry and housekeeping once a week. They had bingo, a jazz band, and my sister was able to get her hair done. Everybody took time to greet us, and they went above and beyond to make sure my father and sister were taken care of. The value was comparable to the others.

I really liked The Landing, but it was too far from family. It was a beautiful place with a couple of open areas. The staff seemed to go out of their way to interact.

I thought the location of HomeLife in the Gardens was good, but the facilities weren't as good. They were old, rundown, and not updated. The only thing I did like was the location because it was right in New Orleans. I would go somewhere nicer. The staff members were very nice, kind, and generous. They had some activities. The dining area looked OK, but the the building and everything was old. It wasn't that nice. Everyone seemed happy. It was run OK, but it's old.
