Lacombe Nursing Centre sits in Lacombe, Louisiana, right among some beautiful, big oak trees that really make it a peaceful spot. The place has 98 certified beds and is set up for seniors who need both short- and long-term care, whether that's skilled nursing, daily living help, or special help after a hospital stay. Folks get 24-hour skilled nursing care here, and there's a strong focus on offering thorough rehab for people who need help getting back on their feet after surgeries or other health issues, which includes access to therapy six days a week. The facility also has a dedicated Rehabilitation Unit that's just for short-term recovery so people can get extra support and help moving back home.
There's staff on hand to give personal care and to help with both physical and mental health conditions, and they make an effort to build a caring and clean environment that feels welcoming, even if that's not always what gets reflected in every review. Residents get meal services where the kitchen serves nutritious meals, and the Centre allows family to be part of the care process, including during discharge planning, so everyone knows what to expect and how to help.
CMS inspections show the facility has a compliance history with 27 total deficiencies, including four connected to infection control, and there have been problems making sure resident assessments and full care plans happen within the required seven days. Staff work to keep infection control standards up, though there've been lapses, and the nurse turnover rate is 42.7%, with 3.62 nurse hours per resident per day. The owners are Jeremy Goux and Timothy Goux, each holding half ownership, and Goux Enterprises, Inc. directly owns the facility while Inspired Healthcare Management, LLC handles management. Lacombe Nursing Centre is run as a for-profit corporation and is linked with CareRise Facility and the local Rehabilitation Center. The facility has a public rating of 3.7 based on seven reviews, and even with challenges, it continues offering a range of care planning services and resources for long-term care and family support, doing its best to give seniors a secure, supportive setting that prioritizes health and safety.
