Audubon Health & Rehab has served the community for over 40 years and provides nursing home care, rehab services, and help for seniors who need extra support with daily life, and being known also as Audubon Guest House in Thibodaux, LA, it's a place where people can get both short-term rehab after things like surgery or illness and longer-term care for those who need it, and memory care is available for people with Alzheimer's or other memory problems, with a specially designed area to reduce confusion and help prevent wandering. The facility offers many services, including skilled nursing, physical rehab, occupational therapy, speech therapy, respiratory therapy, and wound care, and it also provides hospice and palliative care.
The community focuses on a resident-centered approach, treating people with dignity and respect, and staff try to give attention that fits each resident's own needs while encouraging activities that help with social, physical, and emotional well-being. Meals are served by chefs who focus on good nutrition, and there's a focus on activities, with a calendar to keep residents engaged and promote a friendly, kind environment. Residents can get support for daily living like bathing, dressing, and managing medications, and the place tries to keep things as homelike as possible, offering private rooms and a nurturing atmosphere.
Though Audubon Health & Rehab has received several awards, including being recognized as one of America's Best Nursing Homes by Newsweek and honors for meals, activities, and friendliness, inspection reports show it's had some problems. The facility's had nine deficiencies found over three inspection reports, including citations for infection control, failing to keep areas free of hazards, and for not having a full infection prevention program, but staff use enhanced barrier precautions to help keep residents safe. Nurse turnover is 26.1%, lower than the state average, though nurse staffing is just below the state average.
Management has changed, with Pathway South LLC and Providence Care, LLC at the helm in the past, and it's owned by Medico LLC and Act Investments, LLC, with ties to Beebe Family ownership. With 172 certified beds and around 116 residents per day, the facility tries to offer a supportive space for recovery, rehab, and ongoing care, aiming to deliver help and specialized care to seniors in a simple and straightforward way.
