I gave only four stars because of a nurse not doing his job. Everything else was perfect. Landry is the best!!!!!! Food was good. Their shower schedule didn’t work for me but if you like a shower at 5:30 am it might work for you. Not the perfect place but the staff appears to be working on it.

Katie S on the night shift is the best. She comes to your room when the light is on and doesn’t have you waiting for an hour or more. Especially when you have to go to the bathroom. She is friendly and very compassionate. She is a plus for this rehab. Great worker

Advocacy

Skilled nursing communities (SNFs) like Ciena Healthcare provide crucial services for our most vulnerable population: the frail and elderly. Today’s SNFs have significantly evolved over time to provide both long-term comprehensive care and short-term rehabilitation services. However, in comparison to other medical settings, especially hospitals, SNFs are often overlooked for important resources and funding.

As health care evolves, skilled nursing communities are increasingly providing care previously delivered in hospitals. Nationwide, the 65 and older population will double over the next 20 years. By 2040, it could triple. As our population ages, SNFs are becoming increasingly vital to the care and wellbeing of our seniors.

SNFs need advocates and allies to actively engage with their representatives and speak up about important issues facing our industry. This page is designed to share ways you can help support SNFs and the vital services they provide for our elders.


Contact Your Elected Officials and Voice Your Support for SNFs!

It is crucial the voices of SNF supporters be heard by Congress. Members of Congress value their constituents’ opinions and it is critical they hear from our advocates and allies.
