BONNE VIE

8595 MEDICAL CENTER BOULEVARD, PORT ARTHUR, TX 77640

Bonne Vie is presenting a bit of a head-scratcher, boasting a top-tier health inspection score that tells you the place is clean and inspectors found no major issues, while the staffing data paints a different picture. The good news is the people who work here tend to stick around, with a nursing staff turnover rate far below the national average, meaning your loved one will likely see the same familiar faces who know their routine and preferences day in and day out.
