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.
