A Step Forward

A Step Forward has been around since 1995, right there on Jefferson Highway in Baton Rouge, taking care of seniors and people with disabilities in the area for many years, and they've got trained aides and nursing staff for in-home care, adult day programs, and residential care homes in the community, so they do a little bit of everything, like assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and independent living, even hospice and dialysis sometimes, and while the place isn't certified by Medicare, they are licensed by state and local governments, and they help people through Medicaid waivers and other care programs like Supported Independent Living and Childrens Choice, plus they accept private payments. Folks get a wide range of services-help with bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, light housework, and personal hygiene, plus transportation to doctor appointments, and the rides are dependable and friendly, which other people seem to appreciate. They've got emergency response systems and provide care twenty-four hours a day, every day, and their focus stays on giving personal attention to everyone-whether it's helping out in their homes, offering companionship, or running an adult day program for seniors and the disabled. The community isn't huge, with about twenty-four employees, and while they're not on the BBB accredited list, they're recognized by the BBB of South Central Louisiana. You can find the place close to parks, cafes, restaurants, theaters, pharmacies, and hospitals, so getting out and about is pretty easy. They offer job openings for certified nursing assistants, LPNs, RNs, and experienced caregivers, so local folks can get involved in the work and care. The services are licensed, insured, and tailored to each client, always with a focus on helping people have a better daily life, whether that means sitting with someone for a while, making meals, helping with daily routines, or just being someone to count on around the house or in the day program. They've made a name for providing steady, reliable care in Baton Rouge for a long time, and you can always take a look at their website for more details or send in a request for information if you want to know more about what they do.
