This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 28% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 16 findings, above the LA average of 8.3. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Evangeline Oaks Guest House presents a polarizing experience, with recent reviews highlighting a divide between those praising a new administration and therapy team and those reporting severe neglect and poor communication. While some families appreciate the homelike atmosphere and dedicated staff, others describe a facility plagued by hygiene issues, unresponsive management, and unprofessional conduct.

Key Review Excerpts
“Evangeline Oaks has an awesome therapy department and a great new administrator! Great things are coming there!”
“This place was like a zoo , people yelling all the time the residents looked depressed and were unattended, it was smelly and dirty.”
“I chose Evangeline Oaks because of Amanda Stanley. Amanda is an amazing person and I heard great things about her care of the patients.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
