Alpine Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation in Ruston, LA, is licensed as a nursing home and is equipped to serve residents who need continuous medical oversight. Skilled nurses are on duty around the clock to handle complex health conditions, medication management, and wound care. The facility also provides on-site physical therapy, enabling residents to follow rehabilitation plans without leaving the building. Therapy staff work closely with nursing teams to monitor progress and adjust treatment goals, helping residents regain or maintain mobility and strength.
To support overall safety, the building is outfitted with a sprinkler system that operates throughout the property. This fire-suppression feature complements the facility’s routine safety checks and emergency preparedness protocols. Staff members receive regular training to maintain state and federal compliance, and care plans are reviewed frequently to ensure that each resident’s current needs are met.
Resident accommodations include private and semi-private rooms designed for ease of mobility, with accessible bathrooms and emergency call systems. Some rooms open directly to outdoor areas where residents can spend time in fresh air or meet visiting family members; other rooms do not have this feature. Furnishings are provided, although residents may bring personal items to make the space familiar and comfortable.
Meals are prepared by dietary staff who work with licensed nutritionists to create menus that meet clinical guidelines while still offering choice. Three meals are served daily in a communal dining room, with tray service available for those who need or prefer to eat in their rooms. Modified diets, such as pureed or low-sodium options, are accommodated, and snacks are offered between meals to keep blood sugar levels stable and support overall nutrition.
