Colonial Oaks Living Center LLC has been around since 1969, serving seniors with skilled nursing care, long-term care, memory care, hospice care, and rehab programs, and the place stays pretty busy with an average of about 91 residents daily, offering 110 certified beds. The staff includes nurses, therapists, dietitians, and specialists like podiatrists, dentists, and behavioral psychiatrists, though nurse turnover is high at 59.5% and staffing hours fall below the state average. There's 24-hour nursing care, regular physician visits, and on-call doctors day and night, so residents get medical attention when needed, including help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and managing medicine. The center also provides respiratory therapy, wound care, and therapy services for recovery, plus handy things like mobile lab tests and radiology right on site.
Meals are home-style, with snacks and nutrition planned by registered dietitians, and sometimes the place gets cited for not following food rules, as inspections have found 23 deficiencies, including two related to infection and problems around resident rights and food safety. The building has a main entrance with a sign, a lobby, a nurses' station, and a patio for sitting outside. Residents can relax in indoor and outdoor common areas, a TV lounge, or the beauty salon, and rooms come with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and views of the grounds or photos. For folks staying short term, the STAR unit offers focused rehab with therapy aimed at getting people back on their feet, and social services provide one-on-one support and help with emotional needs.
Colonial Oaks puts effort into creating a warm community, with group activities, one-on-one visits, and a calendar full of events for the mind and body, plus secure systems and scheduled transportation. Staff manage incontinence care, medication, fall risks, and special diets, and the facility has things like laundry services and chaplain visits. It tries to work with each resident's specific needs through customized care plans and emphasizes dignity, respect, and support. Though inspection reports show areas needing work, Colonial Oaks continues offering a broad range of services and strives to make residents feel cared for and at home. Ownership is split between Highpoint Healthcare LLC and Medico LLC, with management by Highpoint Healthcare and HPHC of Louisiana in recent years.
