Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation with a Person-Centered Care Philosophy in a Newly Designed Center
Lake Charles’ newest skilled nursing & rehabilitation center is part of CommCare, a Louisiana-based non-profit. Our vision is to provide transitional care that many need after an illness or injury to ensure a successful transition home, as well as traditional long-term care, but to do so in a manner which respects and celebrates the individual.
From the moment visitors walk in the door, they will notice that Calcasieu Community Care Center is different, but the difference goes much deeper than the physical plant. The resident is the focal point by design and philosophy.
Four households, each with a kitchen, dining area, living area and outdoor space, place the resident at the center of operations and ensure they have easy access a variety of spaces. The common area is surrounded by private rooms, each with a private bathroom and bath. Households have their own front porch where residents can enjoy outdoor space and visitors may enter through the front porch or main entry.
Staff are dedicated to individual households and are encouraged to dine with residents and join them in activities such as cooking a favorite dish. This interaction fosters an atmosphere where staff become extended family and really get to know residents, their likes, dislikes and allows them to notice any changes more quickly.
Common areas abound from the intimate to the spacious. At the café residents and their guests may help themselves to coffee, cappuccino, beverages and soft serve ice cream – a favorite of the grandchildren!

Our very own Administrator, Kris Cooley, and Marketing Director, Alana LeMelle, had the opportunity to share the vision behind the 2nd Annual SWLA Senior Karaoke Luau with KPLC.
This event is about giving our seniors a day to laugh, sing, connect, and simply enjoy being part of the community. Many of our residents don’t often have opportunities to attend events like this, so we’re inviting the community to bring the celebration to them.
If your business, organization, church, or volunteer group would like to set up a table, donate food, drinks, door prizes, or simply come out and spread some joy, we’d love to have you join us.
A special thank you to the leadership team at Calcasieu Community Care Center for believing in this vision and continuing to invest in meaningful experiences for the seniors we proudly serve.
Together, let’s make August 7 a day our seniors will never forget. For sponsorship, vendor, or volunteer opportunities, call 337-244-0266. ... See MoreSee Less
