About Calcasieu Community Care Center
Calcasieu Community Care Center is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center in Lake Charles, Louisiana, part of CommCare, a Louisiana-based non-profit established in 1994. The facility provides transitional care for individuals recovering from illness or injury, as well as traditional long-term care, with a person-centered care philosophy that respects and celebrates individual residents.
The center features four households, each with its own kitchen, dining area, living area, and outdoor space. Private rooms include private bathrooms, and each household has a front porch for outdoor enjoyment. Common areas range from intimate spaces to larger gathering areas, including a café where residents and guests can access coffee, beverages, and soft-serve ice cream. Staff are assigned to individual households and are encouraged to dine with residents and participate in activities such as cooking, fostering relationships where staff become extended family and can notice changes in residents more quickly.
Rehabilitation services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy provided by trained professionals in a fully equipped rehabilitation gym. The facility's goal is to help each individual function at their highest level and capability, enabling many residents to successfully return home after completing their rehabilitation program.
The community offers a wide array of life enrichment activities, including trips into the community, salon services, fitness centers, libraries, and social events. Families, community members, and volunteers are invited to participate in activities. As a non-profit, the facility also maintains a library with educational resources on health, wellness, medical conditions, and benefit information for elders and their families.

CCCC is an amazing facility for my parent. They do an excellent job taking care of him and providing for his needs. They are always open to hear any concerns that I may have. I love their open door policy. I really appreciate the CNA’s that care for him.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about Calcasieu Community Care Center. My grandmother, Fannie Bellow, has been a resident here, and visiting her daily has been an absolute joy. The bonds I’ve formed not only with her but also with the other residents on her hall have truly enriched my life. The facility is warm, welcoming, and feels like a second home. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, always ensuring that the residents feel loved and well-cared for. The sense of community here is remarkable. I loved spending time here so much that when I turned 18 in August, I applied to be a homemaker. It’s been a privilege to give back to the place that has given so much to my family. As I prepare to enter the Army, I’ll always cherish the memories and connections I’ve made at Calcasieu Community Care Center. Thank you for providing such a nurturing and supportive environment for my grandmother and all the residents! —Kennedy Perkins

Calcasieu Community Care Center is the best hidden jewel ever. My experience here has been great. The people are wonderful from the Administration on down. I enjoy the residents here, but I don't like the word residents, because we consider ourselves as family. We are here living together under the same roof eating meals together, playing games, doing crafts, sitting outside listening to music and dancing, living as one big happy family. I enjoy every bit of the entertainment, but most of all I truly Love my new extended family, & also the great people that takes care of us daily: Nurses, CNA's, Cooks, Homemakers, Maintenance Workers,& all the different Office workers, & last but not least the Therapy Workers. I can say so much about these ladies,but you have to come & watch them work. You would enjoy the wonderful work that they do with your loved ones it's awesome. My Therapy workout is improving everyday. I have to Thank everyone here for the excellent job we're experiencing. The best place I've been to & would recommend it to my friends and family. Oh yes, a family member is living here with me as well, & working on more. Come visit and have a walk through. Thank you in Advance, Crystal Jones resident/family member.
