Lake Providence Nursing and Rehabilitation 5976 U.S. 65, Lake Providence, LA 71254

"This place is a joke. The Rudest people work here! They should be closed down. They don’t care about their Residents."

"My visit to this nursing home went well. My friend and I got to talk to several residents, and had a very good conversation with the gentleman we came to visit. He was in good spirits, and is really improving. We were glad to see how well he was doing."

"My experience putting my mother here has been nothing short of a nightmare. There are a few good workers there, but for the most part most of them are lazy and noncommunicative. It would always take forever to get anyone on the phone. I would call and leave messages/call multiple times a day and couldn't speak with the physical therapist/speech therapist for about 2-3 weeks. On another note, a patient who is supposed to have a person watching them was allowed to walk down two hallways (in front of the nurses desk) and pull my mother's peg tube out of her stomach. She had to get another tube put in because of this. Not only that, but my mother, who is half paralyzed currently, due to a stroke, was left sitting in a wheelchair all day and she fell out, hitting her head and left temple on the ground because she was not supervised or cared for. Not only that, but when I went to pick her up for a transfer to another facility (which I had to do because this facility is literally in the middle of nowhere and didn't have any transportation available, I had to drive over 500 miles) she was left at the lunch table so doped up on medicine she was asleep. I was told time and time again that she didn't have the motivation to do therapy or she would be sleeping during therapy. Or was it that she was so doped up on medicine that she couldn't stay awake!? So much time was waisted that she could have been getting therapy that she very much needed. Over 1/3 of her days were waisted at this place. She hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch that day. She was not provided for at all. She had to go to the hospital because she was dehydrated. How do you let a patient get so dehydrated they have to go to the hospital? No one was making sure she at or drank. No one HELPED HER even though she couldn't use the left side of her body properly. Fast forward to bringing her to a new facility. As soon as she got there I saw a level of care beyond anything she ever received at Cypress at Lake Providence. A nurse actually sat by my mother's bedside and fed her. How sad is it that I was thankful someone was feeding my mother? DO NOT let the person you care for go to this place. They will be treated as less than human by most of the staff because they are always on those computers at the front desk or on their phones when they should be attending to patients. The first thing my mother was able to say after getting to the new skilled facility was "They don't complain when they have to move me." I'm sorry if the staff is over worked/understaffed or both, but don't take on more patients than you can provide care for. Do better Cypress at Lake Providence. Whoever the owner is/the people that work there just for the paycheck should be ashamed of themselves. I am disgusted at the treatment my mother got. If I could give less than 1 star I would. I would give 0 stars or worse."
