Ormond Nursing & Care Center

Ormond Nursing & Care Center sits at 22 Plantation Drive in Destrehan, Louisiana and takes care of seniors with many different needs, offering skilled nursing, wound care, long-term care, memory care for dementia, and hospice care, with staff who make sure every resident's care fits their health and comfort needs every day and night, and they have a big focus on privacy, dignity, and treating everyone equally, while the staff get special training to handle emergencies fast and always keep an eye out for changes in residents' health. Folks come here for short-term help after surgery, heart attacks, or strokes, and they'll get things like IV therapy, pain control, recovery exercises, and help with walking again, and others stay for the long run, finding a home-like place with medical support and plenty of activities like bingo, outings, clubs, hair styling, and manicures, all meant to help them feel at home and stay busy, while visitors will notice a peaceful fish pond and bird cages outside, and comfortable rooms and social dining where tasty, healthy food is served every day. Ormond puts a lot into memory care too, with special rooms and custom plans for those with dementia, making sure they have activities and safe routines that help their minds and comfort, and for those needing end-of-life support, the hospice care team works gently and respectfully, so that residents feel cared for with as much comfort as possible. They offer scheduled programs, an active events calendar, social meals, and chances to make friends, aiming for an easy daily life where people can keep moving, learning, and sharing laughs, and there's even a rehab center with therapy and exercise for those getting back on their feet after an illness or injury. The building is currently going through updates as part of a big refurbishment project to keep things fresh and safe, and Ormond follows all the rules from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals and the Louisiana Nursing Home Association, even making top marks as one of only 19 places out of 266 in the state with a top-tier distinction and holding a five-star rating on Medicare.gov as of January 2025. They've put in measures like enhanced barrier precautions to keep everyone safe from infection, and you can get information like a Medicaid Unwind Fact Sheet or download a brochure if you want to know more. Everything at Ormond Nursing & Care Center aims to give residents a place of healing, heart, and home where people can enjoy their days while getting the care they need.
