The Ellington of Rayne sits at 308 Amelia St in Rayne, Louisiana, and has been around since 1966 as a locally-owned nursing home and rehabilitation center. The facility houses between 51 and 200 employees, with a team that includes Leah Hundley Wynn, BSN, RN as Assistant Director of Nursing, Rosemary Guidry as Assistant Administrator, Casey Robertson as a Registered Nurse, and Sierra Cessac, who's a Licensed Practical Nurse with over nine years of clinical experience. People there can find different kinds of care, like assisted living, independent living, memory care, nursing homes, and even home care and respite care, so both long-term and short-term needs are met. The Ellington provides skilled nursing care, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and rehabilitation, and supports residents with incontinence and diabetic care, medication management, help with daily activities, and medical transportation.
There's a nutrition specialist on staff, trained mental health care support, and the staff pays attention to honoring resident rights and building lasting relationships. The facility keeps things feeling like a home away from home with semi-private rooms designed for privacy and comfort, and residents can take part in housekeeping, enjoy organized entertainment activities, go on outings, and join spiritual programs. People can gather in communal dining areas, take part in therapy programs, and use salon services. Dietary staff help with special diets when needed, and there are amenities and activities to keep life enjoyable. The Ellington encourages people to take a tour to meet staff, see the facilities, and get a sense of what daily life is like. The facility lists itself on A Place For Mom and has a website and a Facebook page where people can request information or check costs, and staff aim to create a friendly, knowledgeable environment every day.
