Belle Teche Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, LLC

Belle Teche Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, LLC has 150 certified beds and sits at 1306 W Admiral Doyle Dr in New Iberia, Louisiana, and it's been run by Central Management Company since 1997, with Kisatchie Health, LLC and Prico, Inc. owning stakes and Teddy Price and Marjorie S Price Estate serving as indirect owners. The center operates as a for-profit business, and it brings skilled nursing, short-term rehab, long-term care, memory care, hospice care, respite care, and Alzheimer's and dementia programs under one roof, which means people get help with many different care needs. The staff includes nurses and CNAs working around the clock and spending about 3.94 hours per resident each day, and therapists also help residents with rehab goals, plus social services try to keep residents connected and active, and there are many activities and social events available throughout the week. Residents live in a secure and home-like place, and the staff puts strong focus on being kind and gentle, paying attention to everyone's social and emotional needs, following recent research especially in Alzheimer's and dementia care. The building itself tries to feel friendly and welcoming, with some amenities that help residents feel comfortable, though there have been 34 total deficiencies in inspections, including 2 for infection control, 3 mentioned in the most recent April 2024 standard inspection, such as problems with food sourcing, accident hazards, and dialysis care, all with potential for more than minimal harm but no actual harm reported. Nurse turnover is on the higher side at 43.3%, but many reviews say the staff stays friendly and tries to meet individual needs. Belle Teche offers brochures and virtual tours for people who want to learn more, and they say they're dedicated to keeping a positive environment while focusing on the day-to-day well-being and quality of life for every resident.
