My mother was taken to Chateau Terrebonne Rehab & Retirement or rehab in early December after a fall at home and a few days in the hospital. She has various medical conditions including dementia.

She spent three weeks in the rehab unit and ultimately our family had to make the decision that she could not return to her previous living conditions since she lived alone and needed more care and supervision.

She had adapted well during the rehab to the nursing staff, aides, and other staff members. She was eating better than she had been at home and taking her medications more routinely than when she was living at home.

We decided to have her moved to long-term skilled nursing. We never considered any other facilities since she was being well taken care of and seemed comfortable with the surroundings at Chateau Terrebonne Rehab & Retirement .

It has now been a little over three months since she was first admitted to Chateau Terrebonne Rehab & Retirement . I feel she is doing better with a routine and eating three meals a day and is more stable than when she was at home. It is never easy to make these decisions for our loved ones, but I feel that Mom is now safe and getting the medical care daily that our family could not provide for her on our own.

Chateau Terrebonne Rehab & Retirement is very nice and aesthetically pleasing. Nicely decorated and open and does not feel like a typical nursing facility. The staff has been great and treated my mother with respect. I visit daily and have no regrets about putter her care in their hands. I can visit her now and enjoy our time together rather than me feeling responsible for her care at home.

Overall this has been the best decision for Mom as well as our family.
