Villa Maria Retirement Center

My mother likes Villa Maria Retirement Center. They take good care of them. It's a nice place, and the staff is awesome and very attentive to their needs. Her room has a living room, a small kitchen, and a nice-size bedroom, but you have to go to the bedroom to get to the bathroom. It's an older style assisted living compared to the newer ones. The food is not very good. They have bingo, crafts, puzzles, a chapel, and they bring them to stores and doctors' appointments. The facility is outdated, but they keep it up and maintain it.

Villa Maria was dated when I visited about two years ago. Half of things need to be fixed, and the overall appeal of it was dated. They had a shuttle bus.

Villa Maria was the first place we visited, and it was very nice. They had activities, transportation, and a barber shop. They had studio rooms that were nice, although small. The staff were all very friendly and very attentive. They asked us if we had any questions.

We found one in Lake Charles for my mom -- Villa Maria. She is not in there yet because she had hip surgery, but when she recovers from therapy, she will probably be moving into it. I brought my mom to visit, and she loved it; she was very satisfied with the size of the rooms, the lay-out of the place, the security -- just everything. We didn't see anything that we didn't particularly like; everything that we saw was good. They offered us to eat lunch that day, but we didn't have the time. We actually went on the day that they had mass because it was more geared to the Catholic community. The Center was on the grounds of the Catholic Church, so we had already been there for quite a while, and we didn't have time for lunch, but they did give us the menus for the whole month to show us what they do and the activities they have, and she was really pleased with all of it. They have like a movie night, once a week they have bingo, two or three days a week they have Bible studies; they have all kinds of stuff. The staff was really nice. They even take them to the doctor when they need to go to the doctor, they go once a week to Walmart and take them shopping. So we were just really pleased with all of it. The only thing is they don't have a big courtyard -- an outside area. They have like a gym and an indoor swimming pool, and they do have the exercise stuff, but they didn't have kind of a nice courtyard, which is not that big of a deal for me, but they just didn't have the room for that. Everything else was just outstanding.
