About Nursing Home Care in Slidell
When it comes to nursing home care in Slidell, LA, the market is concerning. Families should be cautious as only two out of the three facilities meet basic standards. The standout is Greenbriar Community Care Center, which boasts a clean record with zero fines in the past three years. While Slidell has a higher average rating than the state, the limited options mean families need to be selective and vigilant.
For families looking for facilities worth visiting, Greenbriar Community Care Center offers a solid reputation and well-staffed services. Another option is Slidell Senior Care, which, while not without its issues, has been noted for its relatively better staffing ratios. However, it's crucial to manage expectations—neither facility is without concerns, and families may want to consider looking at nearby cities like Covington or Mandeville for potentially better options.
On the flip side, families should avoid Lakeshore Manor Nursing & Rehab at all costs. This facility is on the CMS Special Focus list and has incurred $578,000 in fines due to serious violations. With such a troubling record, it’s clear that quality of care is a significant issue here. When visiting any facility, always ask to see their most recent inspection reports and talk to current residents and families to get a real sense of the environment.
