My Name is Jo Ann Cheatham. I wrote a review awhile back complimenting this place and I feel compelled to do another one because the place is SO GREAT. Since my last review I have been introduced to even more great employees and I want to name them personally. Me and some of our family members traveled from Dallas and Shreveport a few weeks ago to see my sister Regina Duplantis who has been a resident here for 2 years. The love and compassion these employees have for the residents is like nonother.. Diana Benoit , her social worker, Julie and Kim(activity directors), Carla, Erica, Mitch ( nursing staff workers in her unit) and Mr. Joey Hildalgo (maintenance) person, have all gone ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty for my sister Regina. Thank you all so much . You guys are the best.

My name is Jo Ann Cheatham and my sister Regina Duplantis has been a resident here for about 2 years. She is getting very good care and I would like to publicly honor a coupe of employees who have been VERY kind to her. Julie, one of the Activity directors and Dianna Benoit, her social worker are AMAZING. She had a social worker named Patrick a few months ago who was also very nice. So grateful to have such a nice place for my sister
