Rosewood Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits in Lake Charles at 534 15th Street and offers care for older adults who need skilled nursing, memory care, or help with everyday tasks, and the place has a long history, running since 1965, now operating as a for-profit limited liability company and managed by a team linked with Tutera Careers. The building was fully restored in 2021, so folks will find modern, homelike furnishings, bright common spaces, and private rehabilitation rooms alongside furnished apartments with private bathrooms, cable TV, a kitchenette, high-speed Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, plus the place has 150 beds and is Medicaid-approved. Staff can help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication management, and they provide round-the-clock staffing, skilled nursing services up to 12-16 hours a day, a 24-hour call system, and 24/7 skilled nursing for both respite and long-term care. They handle many kinds of therapy-physical, occupational, speech, respiratory-and provide treatments for those recovering from surgery, needing stroke rehab, diabetes management, dementia care, neurological care, pain relief, and balance training, and hospice care's available too. Care is built around the person, so everyone gets an individual plan to match their own health needs and personal preferences, and the focus stays on dignity, comfort, and support. Meals come three times a day, with restaurant-style options, all-day dining, and choices for folks with allergies or diabetes, so no one has to worry about their food needs. The facility accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, and payment can be made online if families find that easier.
For comfort and activity, Rosewood has a movie theater, game room, activity room, spa and wellness area, exercise room, and a lounge with a wide-screen TV, along with a library, arts room, community room, and beauty and barber shop that are all right on-site so residents don't have to leave the building unless they want to. The grounds have a well-kept courtyard, gardens, walking paths, and outdoor areas for people who like to relax outside or take in some sun, and there's parking and transportation services for medical appointments or outings. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and family support services are all part of the package to keep life running smoothly. The staff provide help to those who need non-ambulatory care, and assistance with all daily living activities for those who can't do some things on their own, and there are always programs going on like music, exercise classes, movie nights, games, educational classes, resident-run activities, and wellness programs, which helps folks stay busy and meet new friends or just enjoy themselves. Rosewood also keeps things interesting with arts and crafts, social events, and genuine support for well-being and connection through tailored care and staff who know how to work with people recovering from illness, living with chronic conditions, or managing memory loss. The community makes a point to provide resources and guides for families, and there's a photo gallery that shows what the place looks like and how residents live day to day. Every effort gets made to keep residents active, comfortable, safe, and as independent as possible, with a strong focus on happiness and quality of life through medical care, social opportunities, and daily living support all under one roof.
