These are the nicest people and caregivers that I have ever dealt with! My sister received the very best care at Bayou Chateau before she passed away. This facility is clean and well taken care of by the administration and staff. They are available and helpful. Thank you to the owner, social worker, nurses, aides, maintenance workers, and kitchen staff. I truly recommend this wonderful place. God Bless you all.
