Evangeline Oaks Guest House sits in Carencro, Louisiana, and has been offering care for over 20 years, built out of sturdy brick to weather storms, with a 500K generator to ensure power stays on during outages, and it sits above Interstate 10 outside of any hurricane evacuation or flood zones, so families from nearby towns like Opelousas, Sunset, Grand Coteau, North Lafayette, Cankton, Church Point, Scott, and Breaux Bridge can reach it easily. The facility provides several kinds of care, such as skilled nursing, long-term care, assisted living for folks who may need help with their daily routines, independent living for active seniors, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, home care for seniors wanting support at home, residential care homes for round-the-clock help, and even hospice care. Residents receive professional nursing care around the clock, help with medicine and everyday activities, and tailored care plans whether they're staying for a short recovery or the long term.
Evangeline Oaks Guest House serves balanced, nutritious meals made from quality ingredients, and folks can eat in a group dining area, a private dining room, or sometimes in their own rooms if they like. There's a chapel for quiet time or services, family and living rooms for visits, a solarium for sunlight, a spa and wellness center, a beauty salon, and plenty of sitting areas where folks can gather or rest. There's a focus on being welcoming, with friendly staff and a home-like setting, and the residential hall rooms let people have both privacy and company as needed. The facility sets up social activities like golf cart rides, bingo, games, crafts, painting, and day trips, along with movie nights, music, and ice cream socials for people who want to join in.
For those who need therapy, the staff offers physical, occupational, and speech therapies, along with rehabilitation, restorative nursing, and diet help. The nursing team manages medication, wound care, and everyday medical needs. Evangeline Oaks Guest House also provides secure areas for seniors who need specialized memory care. Insurance options include Medicare, Medicaid, private pay, and private insurance. Many people see this place called by several names-nursing home, convalescent home, care home, long-term care facility, personal care home, retirement home, and even guest house or rest home-but the focus always stays on giving care that meets each person's needs in a safe, sturdy, and friendly setting.
