Consolata Home sits in a quiet area near Iberia Medical Center in New Iberia, LA, and the place feels peaceful and steady with a clear focus on both health and spiritual support, so you'll find things here like Rosary recitations before activities at 10:10 am and 2:00 pm, and Mass celebrated in the chapel on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, and the first Saturday of each month at 10:30 am, and folks often mention the chapel and Rosary services as special comforts. Consolata Home runs a senior care center that offers assisted living, independent living, memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, skilled nursing, and even transitional and hospice care, so whether a person needs daily help, short-term recovery after illness, wound care, or end-of-life care, the staff, including licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants available all day and night, can give respectful, gentle support. There's a physician-led rehab team that helps people rebuild strength and live as independently as they can, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy right on site, and the focus is always on giving each resident help to meet their own care goals, whether that means returning home or settling in comfortably.
Consolata Home maintains a licensed caregiver-to-resident ratio, with an active license verified monthly by Care.com, and has been providing quality nursing care since 1960 as a member of the Louisiana Nursing Home Association. Residents can choose from furnished rooms with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, and they get daily help with things like bathing, dressing, meals, and medications as needed. Companionship care and non-medical home care also get offered, and respite stays let families take a break while their loved one visits. The community has community-sponsored activities, some run by residents, with a full calendar to keep people busy and connected-plus things like a beauty salon, fitness and computer rooms, gaming areas, outdoor gardens, a small library, family-friendly spaces, and regular nutritious, home-cooked meals planned and prepared by chefs.
Scheduled transportation and non-medical transport are available, so trips out are simple to arrange. Residents take part in activities for social, mental, and physical well-being, and the environment aims to be homelike, gentle, and kind, with staff members who many describe as helpful, joyful, and welcoming. Both long-term and short-term stays are options, with extra care for those recovering from illness or surgery. Specialty services go further, including mission dental and senior vision care.
