Christwood offers nursing home, assisted living, hospice care, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Covington, LA. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment; Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while skilled nursing and nursing home care provide licensed nursing around the clock. Hospice care supports people nearing the end of life.
With these care types in one community, a resident’s needs may grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere. Christwood has 30 beds. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours and 21 minutes per resident each day, representing the daily hands on nursing time assigned to each resident. Medicare and private pay are accepted, including Medicare for eligible short term skilled care after a hospital stay and direct private payment.
Christwood opened in 1996 and permits residents to have pets. An indoor heated pool supports swimming and exercise, while the full service salon and day spa provide grooming within the community. Short term rehabilitation and respite care are available for temporary recovery or for a brief stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and transportation to medical appointments is available Monday through Thursday in Mandeville, Madisonville, Covington, and Abita Springs.
