Runk and Pratt Senior Living Communities

The staff of Runk & Pratt Leesville are dedicated, compassionate, and responsive to resident needs. I would without hesitation recommend this community to others.

Everyone seems to really care about my mom. Workers are good about explaining things.

Pearls of Life has been a wonderful experience for my dad. The employees are so caring, patients, and knowledgeable about each and every resident. Every time I visit, I can see the genuine love for each resident and their unique situation. Pearls of life has been a true blessing for our family as we navigate through the disease of dementia.

My husband was placed at Pearls of LIfe five weeks ago. I have been very impressed with the care he has received. The workers are very caring and loving. The facility is state of the art and very clean! My husband is very cared for and I am very grateful!

Everyone does a great job. Personal and very caring.

My father has been at Pearls of Life since it opened. The facility is beautiful and the staff are wonderful. There are many activities and trips for the residents. All of the staff are friendly and take a special interest in each of the residents. I would highly recommend Pearls of Life.

Wonderful place and people. Caring - very helpful - cheerful. I've recommended this community.

I have visited here numerous times and it always found the facility clean and inviting - always decorated beautifully and seasonally. The people here take pride in performing their job well and taking excellent care of the residents. There are lots of activities going on and the residents enjoy them, This is a well run facility - excellent!

My mom always comments about how helpful and friendly the staff are, they are just exceptional and bend over backwards. She never hesitates to ask for help because they are always so willing to help. The facility is in a beautiful setting, it is up on a mountain top with great views. We really have had no complaints and would highly recommend them to other families who are looking.

Wonderful set up for visits during covid. Appreciate all you do during this time.

Great job at keeping residents free of the coronavirus. Also, the staff as well from being affected by it. Today, it was very much appreciated that [name removed] brought my dad a coffee. I am anxious for my dad's restrictions to be lifted. This is my only disgruntlement. Overall, I am pleased with Runk and Pratt.

The heart of the staff at Liberty Ridge' Runk and Pratt wonderful. They are compassionate and patient. Though no senior care residence is perfect, they love the residents as they would their own family. They are also very welcoming to family. The dining director excellence and dining facility's cleanliness as well as the activities director's hard work, love and fun planning great activities are way above par. I'm very grateful for our decision to have our family at Runk & Pratt's Liberty Ridge.

The staff at Pearls of Life are kind, patient and generally seem to take good care of my mom. My only concern is the medical care my mom has received. They discourage maintaining relationships with my mother’s primary care doctor in favor of a physician paid by Runk and Pratt. Despite numerous reports by me of significant ankle and calf swelling, it took nearly 2 weeks for the facility physician to visit my mom. Medical care seems ok once provided. I do intend to maintain PCP relationship as much as possible. The facility is clean, my mom says the meals are good, and they encourage residents to participate in activities.

I feel like mom has had a good experience so far; at time, it has been a bit difficult to see that not a lot of staff is around the stations to monitor what is going on with the residents. That to me, is concerning especially with the elderly, but I also understand that it is not a “nursing care facility.” Knowing my mom is happy makes me happy.

My mother-in-law really likes it there which makes us happy! The communication from the assisted living could be better and we have brought that to their attention! There are quite a few activities provided for residents, but she only goes to BINGO. These facilities are all too expensive, but this one is more reasonable than any in the area we live in.

I live In a different state, so this review is based on the feedback she has shared with me. Overall she is happy, loves the people and staff. The facility is fine and the food is very basic and could use some work. Very friendly atmosphere and great activities during the week.

Staff are very friendly and eager to help. Housekeeping -room was always clean and facility clean. Family moved everything in, but I left a lot of furniture and the people were fine with that. They said that they will get rid of it, which made it easy for us. My loved one didn't like the food, but it looked good and had a variety. She just couldn't eat due to her mouth being sore and inflamed. She was at the facility for 5 weeks before she passed. I would recommend it, it's one of the best that my husband and I looked at. It could have been a fun place, if my loved one wasn't so ill.

We transferred our mom to this facility [time frame removed] as restrictions from the pandemic were being lifted. From the beginning of our experience, we received stellar care. The Director of the facility actually picked my sister and mom up from the airport to assist with the transfer-way beyond the call of duty! He went out of his way to ensure that our mom assimilated to the facility by checking on her frequently and making her feel special. We are so very grateful for his care and assistance in helping our mom transition. As many facilities around the nation were adjusting to post-COVID norms, so has POL. I have seen that they've struggled with finding and maintaining staff, which has made it hard to provide continuous care. However, I have also seen their efforts to hire personnel who go above and beyond to support their residents with care, compassion and dignity. Working with people who have Dementia can be very difficult, but POL staff seem committed to kindness and appropriate care for their residents. The new Director who was recently hired seems to understand the challenges of Dementia and how to provide quality care. Having a background in Hospice as a RN, she has the qualifications and experience she needs to implement her vision of quality care for her residents. As siblings we are grateful that our mom is in this safe space where she receives the kind of care she deserves.

It has been a good experience overall. The apartment is great. One thing is the lighting in the bathroom, it would be nice to have an overhead light in the shower. And my loved one wishes there were more food options.

This is a nice looking community. The administrative staff is quite friendly and helpful. The apartments seem very nice. The food is good with choices for the residents to choose from. The care needs some improvement with additional staff being hired. There 180 residents in the community. There are times that the care is delayed or non-existent due to the shortage of staff. Some of the staff and residents have a language barrier and this has a cause for concern due to the residents not being able to understand or hear the staff. There are times that the residents are having to plead for bathing assistance. The family is concerned what will happen as our loved ones may need additional care in the future. There are quite a few activities available for the residents to participate in though.
