Overall Review of Legacy Nursing And Rehabilitation Of Plaquemine

caveat 11 reviews mention this

Care response feels delayed

Many residents describe slow or missed help when care is needed.

Several reviews report delayed responses to call bells and requests for basic needs, including turning residents, addressing personal care, and returning needed items promptly. Other reviews describe emergencies or changing conditions being handled poorly, with frequent transfers to hospitals. A few reviewers do praise care being provided and staff notifying families of changes, but the negative experiences appear more consistent across multiple accounts. Residents also mention communication problems by phone, which adds to the concern about getting timely help.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Staffing and supervision raise concern

Multiple reviews describe understaffing and a lack of attentive supervision.

Many reviewers attribute care problems to understaffing, saying staff cannot keep up with resident needs. Some describe missed checks, residents not being turned, and monitoring that did not catch issues until they became severe. Even among mixed feedback, some reviews call out high turnover and leadership not listening to concerns. At the same time, a smaller set of reviews describe friendly, caring staff and good support, suggesting experiences vary by unit or situation.

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and odor complaints

Residents and families frequently mention odors and troubling cleanliness conditions.

A recurring theme is unpleasant smells and dirty conditions, with multiple reviewers describing urine or feces odors during visits and concerns about restrooms. Other accounts mention pest issues like roaches and mice, along with overall uncleanliness. While one review says the facility was clean and another mentions only that the food was acceptable, the negative cleanliness reports are far more numerous. Families also describe physical consequences they associate with neglect, such as worsening skin issues.

common 4 reviews mention this

Food quality is mixed

Food receives both positive and negative feedback from reviewers.

Some reviewers say the food was pretty good and describe it positively. Others report terrible food and describe dietary needs not being handled well. The dining portion of the experience also connects to accounts about skin irritation and comfort during care, though those complaints are described in the context of broader support. Overall, food quality seems inconsistent across reviews.

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Respect and communication vary

Reviews describe both caring interactions and rude, dismissive behavior.

Several reviews praise staff as friendly, polite, and caring, including accounts where families felt informed and supported. In contrast, many other reviewers use strong negative language about disrespectful behavior and mistreatment, and some describe staff ignoring resident calls. Communication issues also come up directly, with at least one review saying phones were not answered and calls were disconnected. Taken together, reviewers paint a picture of inconsistent day-to-day interactions.
