Overall Review of St Joseph of Harahan

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Meals are frequently described as cold

Residents and families often describe dining as cold and unappetizing.

Several reviewers say meals arrive cold, with some describing food texture and seasoning they did not like. A number of comments also mention limited appeal or difficulties getting acceptable alternatives, including meals described as overly salty, spicy, or inedible. Others report that residents often eat in their rooms, which some link to how dining is handled day to day.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Call bells and help can be delayed

Multiple reviewers report delayed responses when care is needed.

A recurring concern is that call bells do not bring timely help, with some reviewers describing waiting hours for basic assistance. Others mention that staff sometimes focus on phones or other tasks rather than responding quickly to residents’ needs. A few reviews also tie these delays to missed medication timing or slower attention to urgent issues.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and odors come up often

Reviews frequently mention unpleasant odors and cleanliness problems.

Some reviewers describe strong odors, including urine-related smells, as well as rooms and linens they found dirty. Several comments also mention pests such as roaches, along with other concerns like items left on floors. While a smaller number of reviewers describe the facility as clean and well kept, the negative cleanliness themes repeat often enough to stand out.

differentiator 6 reviews mention this

Therapy support is a standout

Skilled therapy is repeatedly described as helpful and motivating.

Across multiple reviews, families and residents describe physical therapy as a key reason they saw improvement, including mobility gains after hospital stays. Reviewers often single out the therapy team for encouragement and hands-on progress during a skilled stay. Even when other parts of the experience were criticized, therapy support is still described positively in several accounts.

common 25 reviews mention this

Staff kindness is praised by many

Many reviewers describe staff members as friendly, caring, and attentive.

A large share of reviewers say the day-to-day experience includes kindness, patience, and supportive communication from staff. Some mention specific roles like nurses, CNAs, and therapy personnel as particularly helpful. A smaller set of reviews contradicts this, describing rudeness or lack of responsiveness, but overall positive staff impressions appear frequently in the feedback.
