Lagniappe Health Care LLC in Bastrop, Louisiana, has been serving the local area since 2008, and while you won't find fancy slogans or a long list of awards, the place focuses on providing skilled nursing and comprehensive long-term care. The facility has 112 beds and sits in a quiet neighborhood, so it stays pretty peaceful most of the time. Folks who live here get both short-term and long-term care, and the staff includes licensed nurses on site all hours of the day and night, making sure residents' health is looked after. Lagniappe Health Care LLC runs a Skilled Nursing Facility and handles both Medicare and Medicaid.
For those recovering after surgery, illness, stroke, or injury, Lagniappe Health Care LLC provides thorough rehabilitation care, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and uses things like Ultrasound, Electrical Stimulation, Vital Stem, Hivamat, Paraffin, and Moist Heat in their therapy rooms. They've got equipment like Lite Gait, Parallel Bars, Arm Bike, various weights, and a Shoulder Pulley System, plus simulation areas that let folks practice everyday tasks, including a washer and dryer, a kitchen, and a bathroom, so people can get a taste for normal routines while still getting care.
There's a dedicated S.A.F.E. Unit, a Secure Area For Elderly, which is set up for people with Alzheimer's, Dementia, or those who need extra security because they might wander or are forgetful. Memory care is a big part of what they offer. The staff takes actual time with each person to look at the medical, social, and even spiritual needs, meaning the care is personalized and not just one-size-fits-all. There's a social services department, and all sorts of in-house activities and social programs going. Families can ask questions, schedule visits, and even take virtual tours if they aren't able to visit in person.
Residents who use wheelchairs can get rides in vans with lifts, so appointments outside the facility don't have to be a hassle. Certified Nursing Assistants lend a hand with the day-to-day needs, and the Activities Department helps bring a bit of fun and community. You'll also find hospice care, short-term respite care if a caregiver needs a break, and both inpatient and outpatient care options.
Lagniappe Health Care LLC has never claimed anything fancy, but the focus stays on safety, dignity, and giving a sense of family and comfort to folks who need ongoing nursing care. The staff tries to make sure everyone feels respected and looked after while they're there, whether it's for just a few weeks or a long stay.
