★★★★★Nathan Mistric · 2026-06-07 · via Google

“Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about this facility and the incredible care they provided to my wife's grandfather during his stay. From the moment he arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make sure not only his needs were met, but that our entire family felt supported and informed throughout the process. What stood out most was the genuine compassion and respect shown to him …”

★★★★★Julie Savoie · 2026-07-28 · via Google

“I had a very good experience with Bonne Vie. All the medical staff and all of the workers were so very professional and I would certainly tell anyone who is having to make this decision for themselves or for a loved one , that this is a very good choice. It is a good place to be.physical Therapy is spot on as well.!!!!”

★Brandie Broussard · 2026-01-19 · via Google

“I wouldn't put my dying dog there much less a loved one. A one star rating is still too high!!! Staff lazy and you have to stay on their butt just to get less than minimal care ! It has to be the absolute worst place in the area!!!”
