Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation of Plaquemine — Local services in Plaquemine

they get no stars if i could. got a call that my loved one was a great candidate for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. he had a motorcycle accident and did walk on his own prior to coming to this facility. after i received that phone call i was sure he was on the road to coming home. the next week, he was put on a ventilator and i was told he was not coherent, and would never come off the vent. he was sent to the hospital 5 times in the 6 weeks he was there. the last stint in the hospital, the dr told us if we sent him back there he would surely die of an infection or something. we were trying to get him moved, and it was all too late. his feeding tube had been lowered and lowered until they decided he couldn't tolerate any food. they pressured his sister into pulling the vent and giving in to hospice, since he was going to die anyway and had no real brain activity. but even with no brain activity he would smile when we went and try to reach for us, and try to hold us there when we had to leave... with no brain activity. his feeding tube was leaking and cause a huge rash on his stomach, that no one was tending to. so if he scratched it and dislodged the tube, they said he was trying to kill himself- with no brain activity? too many conflicting stories. along with they needed clothes so he could do rehab, and he never ever got dressed, but his clothes slowly disappeared. awful place. he was just money in...

Nursing homes are an undeniable excellent concept. But the problem is our constant moral rotting human race. Many of them become employees at nursing homes. When we can no longer care for a love one, allowing someone else to do it will just have to do. Approaching this with the notion that all nursing home staff will love up on our love one as much as we do is just being naive. At Legacy, count on many of their staff to do the very minimum in care and that’s only barely keeping them alive. Many staff are annoyed by any request from residents and are extremely rude to them. Owners of Legacy, when hiring, we know you can’t see the bitter hearts of these applicants, so consider using attached bed-cams (camera) in each residents room. This would greatly improve your staff’s behavior or attitude with communicating with the residents. That will certainly help your ratings and offer a more favorable “word-of-mouth” about your facility in Plaquemine,...

I WOULD NOT SEND MY DOG TO THIS PLACE!! IT IS TERRIBLE!! The attending staff has a horrible attitude most of the time and the place smells like urine and poop every time I go to visit my parents there. It takes about 30 minutes before I go "nose blind" until then I feel like I am going to vomit from the smell!! Most of the residents just roam the halls like zombies and many urinate and poop on themselves while walking around. I have tried to get my parents to go to a much nicer facility in Baton Rouge but they won't leave their hometown because in their mind they feel they are going to "get better" and go back home one day. It is not worth the fight and I cannot care for them myself in my own home as they need 24/7 attendance that I cannot provide. Besides they would not come live with me anyways because I no longer live in their beloved City of...
