My husband was in Lacombe Skilled Nursing for two weeks after emergency surgery. The facility is tired, but it is very clean. The staff members are considerate and kind to all. The administration is very helpful. The physical therapists and occupational therapists are very thorough. Everyone that works there wants to see the patients get better. They want to help their skilled nursing patients get home. I recommend this facility.
This Nursing Home Trys their best but their best was collecting a check to begin with. They don't pay employees fairly. CNAs and RNs that work here don't really pay attention to the patients. They just serve them meds from a cart night and day referencing a list. The housekeepers don't clean and sanitize the floors or bathrooms despite being able to clean and rediaper patients on bed rest as well as changing their bed Lenins. There's cameras but Noone is ever at the front desk. you just press the button and the door automatically dings upon letting you in. The same person watching the cameras that are placed to watch the halls and rooms are the same people with the med cart. No real profession ism. The staff freely dumps their personal problems on you at any moment. Patients are often neglected at meal time. Shoved in the halls in a wheelchair and forgotten. The laundry is done in timely manner. That's a plus especially when you does all you patients up so much with seraguel they frequently have Messed themselves/surroundings. The building is in a very accessible spot on 190 in Lacombe which may be a plus but their is no gate ,not much parking and I've seen roaches numerous times in my two weeks of coming here for family. Nursing homes are expensive. This one was cheap but not that cheap. I expected alot more for what I paid. Remember to do your research when selecting a nursing home for you loved ones and visit often.
Was there for orientation there was no one in administration and employees were rude and walking by. So I left I was waiting for 30 mins!
I LOVE Lacombe Nursing Home! The staff is WONDERFUL. They truly care about the residents. My dad has lived there for 2&1/2 years now & I am very happy with my choice. It is an older building but it is always looks & smells clean. I highly recommend it for your loved one. Lacombe Nursing Home feels like family. 🫶💕
The staff here take care of the patients as if they were their own family members. They keep the place squeaky clean. Physical, occupational and speech therapy are rigorous and wonderful. The techs & nurses are awesome. They’re hard-working but you can tell they’re happy working here. That’s always a good sign. I recommend it.
