Garden Court Health And Rehabilitation Center in Bossier City runs as a senior care community with 77 skilled nursing beds, and as of June 2025, offers 50 beds for new residents, focusing on both short-term rehabilitation and long-term eldercare. The center serves seniors who need serious medical help after staying in the hospital, living with illness, or recovering from surgery and supports those with Alzheimer's or dementia by providing special memory care programs, daily activities, and therapies. Staff keep watch day and night to help with dressing, bathing, transfers, and medication management while making sure everyone can reach help quickly through a 24-hour call system. Residents can use furnished private rooms that come with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and their own bathrooms, plus features like kitchenettes and telephones, and some have special safety equipment for wheelchair or mobility needs. People living here have regular transportation and parking available, enjoy scheduled activities like movies, games, music, arts and crafts, walking paths, holiday programs, and can relax in outdoor spaces or use the game and arts rooms, salon/barbershop, fitness center, library, and spa/sauna areas.
Nurses and care assistants are there twelve to sixteen hours daily, helping with wound care, podiatry, bathing, grooming, meal service planned by a chef and registered dietitian, and therapies such as physical, occupational, or speech. They help folks with daily needs, housekeeping, and laundry, and offer meal programs like Meals on Wheels or dining in the community room, and handle wellness programs aiming to keep the mind, body, and spirit active. Residents can attend religious and educational activities, join in resident-run clubs, and have opportunities for volunteering or serving on advisory councils that work with family members and staff to improve care. The center accepts Medicare along with long-term care insurance, and offers hospice care as well. There's a simple process to help residents move in, and when someone is ready to leave, staff have a discharge program to help them get back home or move on to another setting safely. The community meets industry staffing standards, uses hospital-grade furniture and equipment, and takes a personal touch by believing in their "Ambassadors of Care," working to create a family feeling among staff and residents. The Board of Directors, staff, and advisory council make decisions, and the facility also takes part in the Aging & Disability Resource Center and the Nursing Home Ombudsman program. Garden Court offers a well-rounded environment for seniors, with a focus on comfort, personal care, and keeping people as independent as possible for as long as they stay.
