Rivière de Soleil Community Care Center sits about 2.8 miles outside of Marksville, Louisiana, in Mansura and has served seniors since opening in 1994 as a non-profit under the CommCare Corporation. The community offers a range of support like independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation, so seniors who want to stay independent but still need a little bit of help with daily activities might find the right fit here, especially given the personalized care, the team of nurses, therapists, and care aides, and the person-centered approach to supporting transitions in health. Residents live in nine different households, each designed with private sitting areas, dining rooms, courtyards, and laundry rooms, and can choose from a variety of studio layouts for their rooms. Community spaces like a chapel, library, beauty parlor, and café with coffee and ice cream offer places to socialize, while family and friends can join in for meals or various activities, since the center likes to involve the wider community and volunteers in its day-to-day life.
The activities at Rivière de Soleil include organized community trips, exercise sessions, social events, and life enrichment programs, and residents have access to fitness centers, 24-hour refreshment stations, Wi-Fi, and entertainment options, which can make daily life more interesting and enjoyable for folks. Support services focus on helping residents enjoy their meals and social experiences, and there are resources like a health and wellness library and translators in American Sign Language and foreign languages if needed. A dedicated rehab gym is on site, staffed by physical, occupational, and speech therapists, as part of programs like Rehab to Home, which aims to help residents regain skills and transition back home when possible. The staff includes an Administrator, Director of Nursing, and Marketing Director, and the daily average census runs around 106 residents out of 130 certified beds, while the center claims a higher than average nursing staff presence-about 4.53 nurse hours per resident per day compared to the state average of 3.8.
Rivière de Soleil Community Care Center received the 2025 Bronze Commitment to Quality Award for dedication to excellence and holds a 3-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, with an average rating of 7.8 out of 10 from reviews, making it the highest rated community in its area. The center's managed by CommCare Management Corporation and has focused on person-centered care and smooth transitions in healthcare since 2018. Like many facilities, though, it's not perfect; there have been 34 recorded deficiencies in the last 36 months according to government inspection reports, including those related to infection control, food and fluid assistance, help with daily activities, and honoring resident rights, which the center is responsible for addressing under federal, state, and local regulations. There is a virtual tour option for those who want to see the community before visiting, and the center welcomes family involvement in both care and activities.
