Eastridge Nursing & Rehabilitation

Eastridge Nursing & Rehabilitation sits as part of The Vermilion at Eastridge and offers a mix of skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and memory care like Alzheimer's services, which means folks can get help whether they're coming back from a hospital stay or need support for a longer stretch and it seems to be pretty well regarded in town for both the medical help and the way the staff, led by administrators like Andrew Middleton, takes time to know the residents and treat them as people, not just patients, so the aim always feels like delivering person-centered, compassionate care in surroundings that remind you of home and allow for some independence. Residents have the help of a team trained in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy and there's a special focus on memory care using the latest research, while amenities include spa services, salon care, and big, comfortable suites that let folks have some privacy and relax, which makes the place seem warm and comfortable. The facility holds certifications for Medicare and Medicaid and also really pushes for social living-offering signature programs like Craft. Create. Connect., Paint With Passion, Novel Excursions, Music & Memory, Pet & Plant Therapy, and It's Never 2 Late, which means people are always up to something, and community meals like Cajun cuisine made from local ingredients help give it a Louisiana flavor. There's always a slate of activities-Cajun Fest, Senior Fit, Senior Socials, Gamers Guild, Knights Of The Round Table, Building Bridges, and Tech Connect-so no one feels left out and those who want to keep busy, can. Along with therapy and care, there's an emphasis on having fun and staying active, whether with on-site amenities or off-site excursions or one of the many celebrations held through the year. The team supports people recovering from injuries like falls or strokes with rehab programs that are tailored to the person, and they stay busy in the wider area too, with outreach like Scholarships, Veterans support, Food Outreach, School Drives, Cooking Teams, and partnerships that keep the community involved. Eastridge Nursing & Rehabilitation keeps its promise to provide both medical care and a social life, focusing on people's emotional needs as much as the technical side, and folks seem to enjoy both the care and the sense of community, making it a place where seniors who need help can still have a bit of a joie de vivre day to day.
