Metairie Health Care Center provides nursing home, memory care, and skilled nursing in Metairie, Louisiana. The community opened in 1976 and has 202 beds, which means there are more residents, staff, and usually more programming than in a small community. Semi private rooms are shared rather than occupied alone.
Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Short term rehabilitation supports a temporary, recovery focused stay, while respite care gives a family caregiver coverage while traveling or recovering. The combination may suit someone who needs supervised memory care or ongoing skilled nursing in one community.
Rehabilitation to Home and Community Re entry programs focus on preparing residents to return to community living. Family Training and Involvement gives families a role in participating in care. A dedicated rehabilitation space allows therapy services to take place within the community, and in house X ray services can provide imaging without arranging a visit to a separate facility. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 28 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident.
Metairie Operations operates the community. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted. A Walk Score of 42 out of 100 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips.
