Old Brownlee Community Care Center is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Bossier City, Louisiana, offering long-term care and rehabilitation services for individuals recovering from illness, injury, or condition. The center is designed around a person-centered care philosophy that honors individual choices and fosters an extended-family atmosphere between staff and residents.
The facility features three households, each with its own kitchen, dining area, living space, and outdoor porch. Private rooms with private bathrooms surround common areas, and staff are dedicated to individual households, dining with residents and participating in activities like cooking favorite dishes. This design and approach enable staff to become familiar with residents' preferences and to notice changes quickly.
Rehabilitation services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy provided by trained professionals in a fully equipped rehabilitation gym. Many residents successfully regain strength, endurance, and skills necessary to return home. The center offers a range of life enrichment activities including community trips, salon services, a fitness center, café, and library.
Established in 1994, Old Brownlee is operated by CommCare Corporation, a Louisiana-based nonprofit. The facility accepts Medicaid, Medicare, some insurance plans, and private payment. Volunteers are encouraged to share their skills and passions with residents, and the community maintains a library with resources addressing health, wellness, and topics relevant to elders and their families.
