If I could give this place zero stars I would. My grandmother was alert and talking with family until the RN gave her a high dosage amount of drugs through her IV that we didn’t approve of. She also added water to the bi pap machine and broke it. My grandmother was without the proper oxygen for hours. The RN name was Lisa. The nurse Erin who took Lisa’s place was rude and didn’t show any compassion when my grandmother passed. She had an attitude the whole shift and was so so ugly with our family. PLEASE DO NOT bring your loved ones here. I beg you. My grandmother was up and talking at 10:00pm and by 1:00am she was gone. The CNA’s were nice

Our family’s journey with St. Joseph Hospice began with their outpatient team, and when our loved one needed a higher level of care, the transition to The Carpenter House in Lafayette was seamless. From start to finish, the coordination and communication between the teams were exceptional. The outpatient staff prepared us, educated us, and supported us every step of the way. When it became clear that inpatient care was needed, The Carpenter House team stepped in with incredible compassion and professionalism. The nurses and staff treated our loved one with dignity and made sure our entire family felt supported and informed. What stood out most was how connected everything felt — there was no confusion, no gaps in care, just a true continuum of support. During such a difficult time, that kind of consistency and coordination meant everything to us. We are deeply grateful for both the St. Joseph outpatient team and The Carpenter House Lafayette for walking alongside our family with such compassion and excellence.
