What Families Think
Reviewers describe Evangeline Oaks as a caring, family-oriented skilled nursing facility with dedicated staff and a strong therapy team, and one long-term resident reports being happy there for a decade. However, one detailed review raises serious concerns about a resident's health decline and financial/billing issues, so families should ask directly about care outcomes and billing practices.
The Good
- Long-term resident reports enjoying living there for years
- Praised for a wonderful, dedicated therapy team
- Staff singled out by name for compassionate care
- New management and facility updates underway
- Sturdy brick building with hurricane-resilient track record
The Bad
- One report of serious health decline and repeated hospitalizations after admission
- One report of billing/financial dispute over a resident's disability funds
- No published pricing information available

I chose Evangeline Oaks because of Amanda Stanley. Amanda is an amazing person and I heard great things about her care of the patients. Mr. Jerry was in really bad condition when he first started his journey with Evangeline Oaks, but I knew he would be well taken care of. He loves Amanda and he's come a long way. Thank you Amanda for taking the time to really care about the people entrusted to your care.

I would give it a zero if I could. My brother went there for rehabilitation after a stroke and now 5 yrs later the hospital is saying he is at the end of his life. He has been to the hospital SO many times with infection after infection. He has SO many other health conditions that he didn't have when he went there. His disability check was turned over to them and now since he hasn't been there for a few months they said they never received ANY money. So YES I wouldn't recommend this place to your enemy
