Assisted Living Communities in Slidell, LA

"Summerfield is a beautiful community with a caring staff! The residents are happy and that says a lot!"

"Fidelis Northshorez II was a little bit newer than the other place we looked at, and it was gorgeous. The exterior was beautiful, and the inside was wonderful. The owner was great. My experience with them was five-stars. It was different from a commercial, larger place, but that's what I liked about it. It was great. I was impressed."

"Fidelis Northshore I was wonderful. The two owners were very hands-on, knowledgeable, very friendly, and spent a lot of time with me (more than once), whenever they were available. I thought that the care was excellent. They really cared, and when my husband was there they would Facetime with me three times a day. It was very clean. It was a home, and I liked that when you walked in you felt like you were in somebody's house, except they had a lot of recliners and things like that. It was very homey. I went to the bathroom once, and it was just sparkling clean. It was on a wooded two-acre lot, and it looked just like a house. It was well maintained outside, too. I was never there for a meal, but I think they fed him all the time with snacks and everything. I walked in once, and they were all sitting at a table coloring and doing different things. He was at a different facility that was very expensive and the nursing type care was very good, but I think Fidelis Northshore I was a better place, and it was a much better value all the way around."

"I'm moving here in about a week. It's new, and I liked the amenities. The people, the layout, and the facilities it offered stood out to me. The food was very good, the rooms were spacious and well-appointed, and all the appliances were new. It was well laid-out. They have a lot of exercises, and they take them on tours."

"My mom is staying here. It's only five minutes from my house, so their location is great. Also, I like that it's a very friendly, very clean place, and it's only two years old. The staff has really taken good care of her, and they're very accessible -- like you can talk to them and ask them questions. They're very helpful and just great people. They have a hair salon, manicures, and all kinds of games and activities that they play. They have arts and crafts and church services, as well -- whether you're Protestant or Catholic -- and a whole lot of different things. My mom has been very pleased with the food, too. She said it's very good."

"It was very nice, and the staff was very friendly. We didn't see the grounds. I saw their activity rooms, and the people who interviewed us were very nice and very knowledgeable. The dining room was very spacious, but there weren't any people eating at the time we were there. The facilities looked great. The rooms were very nice. I was pleased, but it's beyond our means. It looked so colonial architecturally from the outside."

"I am in Christwood in Covington. It is very, very nice, and everything is just great; there are no problems. The atmosphere is very friendly, the maintenance and housekeeping is good, and the food is wonderful or way too good. We have some exercise things and they always have programs, lectures on various subjects, and someone will be coming out this week. Tonight, they have a big screen TV, so the LLG football games will be on that. There is always something going on. I can't say I've been to others to compare it with, but from what I know and what I've heard, this one is really first rate. "

"My mom was at Dunbar Village for rehab last year. She seemed to have a high opinion of the staff, being friendly and helpful. The gym that they had for rehab was basic; it wasn't that fantastic. They got the people gather for community type of stuff, like on holidays and all that. They made it a big deal about decorating the place, and she enjoyed that. Overall, she said it was a friendly and good experience. I never really got to go in, but when we visited her, they had a front lobby as a visiting area due to COVID. She was on the ground floor, so you could go in, look in and wave to her. The room looked nice. The place looked clean and neat, too. It was in a relaxing area and not an overly busy main street. There was greenery around, they kept the outside lawn manicured, just a neighborhood kind of thing. She loved the food. She said breakfast wasn't that much, but lunch and dinner were normally outstanding."

"I did visit this community after reading the review and didn't get that impression of the community. I do like the fact that the residents were very friendly amongst each other and the staff was delightful! Lunch was great....still looking for my in-laws; but they are in our top 3 picks....to each its own! "

"Facility is dirty. Residents are not attended to very well. Our family member was often left in bed and dirty. My family requested that our family member be taken out of bed and dressed everyday, which was completely ignored. Staff did not bath our family member often. SOme staff members were unprofessional and rude when you ask questions, especially the residents individual nurse. "

"We've decided to go with Westbank Lighthouse because it was small. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. I liked that they have single rooms with only one person in a room. The room is a very good size, and it was also furnished. I saw everything they have, they had two living rooms, and in everything, there's just plenty of space. It was very clean."

"It was bright and open. The staff seemed very friendly and very knowledgeable. The apartments were a little small, which is what I didn’t like about it, but otherwise, I thought they were nice. They would be my second choice if I can’t get in my first choice. They had a chapel and a library and an average dining room. "

Fidelis Residential Care Homes is owned and operated by two Registered Nurses with over 35 years of ER and Senior Care experience. It was formed to provide affordable, safe, and comfortable living accommodations with 24-hour personal care for our elderly community without sacrificing the warm feeling of home. We view our homes as "the caring alternative to nursing homes and the intimate alternative to assisted living." Family members and loved ones will get the attention and care that they deserve, but are not able to get in a large institutional facility. Regulated by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, our small assisted living facilities may care for those individuals who, because of the ageing process or physical frailty, may no longer be able to live safely at home, but who do not need nor desire a more institutional setting, such as a skilled nursing facility. While many residents choose Fidelis simply because they want a smaller setting, others with physical limitations (such as difficulty walking, or those with medical conditions that require close monitoring) also thrive here. Some residents may have had recent hospital stays or are completing physical therapy after an injury or operation. Until complete recovery, additional service such as physical therapy or home health care can be arranged to assist them as needed.To learn more about this provider's license and review other available state reports, please visit: Louisiana Deparment of Health Adult Residential Care Directory

"My uncle moved into The Village At St. Bernard. It's eight minutes from my mother's home, so my mother can visit him quite a bit. The facility is very new and clean, and we just had a really good feeling when we went in. It's really, really nice. They're very attentive when I visit, if I need anything I call, and they're very eager to help. I'll call to ask questions, or I'll get them to relay a message -- anything that I need, they're really helpful. The food is very good. They feed him hot meals at lunch, they get a hot balanced meal as well at dinner time, and breakfast is quite nice: they get eggs, bacon or sausage, and grits. They get a nice, balanced meal. I'm very happy with that, and they don't cut corners. They have an activities director, they do chair exercises, they play bingo, they do crafts, and they've not really taken them out because of COVID."
