Vivian Healthcare Center

Vivian Healthcare Center sits in Vivian, LA, and works as a non-profit nursing facility serving people who need skilled nursing, rehabilitation, long-term care, assisted living, and memory care, so if someone needs help after a hospital stay or needs steady nursing care, the center can take admissions any time, day or night. The care team uses an interdisciplinary approach, with nurses, aides, and specialists aiming to match every resident with an individualized care plan, whether that means around-the-clock skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or access to the Restorative Program, where dedicated restorative aides help residents recover and keep their skills. For people with special needs, the center offers bariatric care, respiratory therapy, IV therapy, trach care (both established and new), wound care, hospice, and respite care, and for those with memory loss, they do have focused Alzheimer's and memory care services. Residents can use telemedicine services, making it easy to get certain healthcare without leaving the center, and everyone stays in comfortable living spaces built to feel like home, with accessible outdoor spots, social activities, and recreational events to keep people engaged. They say they have a culture of compassion and community support, and they try to make things safe and comfortable, but there are honest problems, with reports about some nurses and aides being unprofessional or indifferent, and some issues with how the staff talks with family members, while the management team is mostly ok but not always. The center says it focuses on quality care, innovation to meet health needs, and keeping residents' dignity and satisfaction a priority, though like anywhere, experiences can vary. Information about the facility is available on their website if people want to go over more details.
