Heritage Manor Slidell

For skilled nursing, the care team works with a resident’s personal physician to manage chronic and acute conditions. Listed services include wound care, IV therapy, pain management and palliative care, post-surgical and subacute care, medication management and administration, and support for rehabilitation therapies.

Staff receive specialized training in wound detection, prevention and treatment. The facility also uses Vacuum-Assisted Closure (VAC) for wounds needing more aggressive treatment, including acute and chronic wounds.

For long-term care, the team and the resident’s physician develop a care plan that may include medical treatment, medications, rehabilitation and restorative services. The plan can be adapted as health needs change.

For residents with a life-limiting illness, Heritage Manor Slidell contracts with certain hospice care providers. Hospice focuses on quality of life, pain relief and symptom management rather than curative treatment.

Private and semiprivate rooms are available. Long-term residents can personalize their space with family photos, mementos and furnishings that fit comfortably without interfering with care.

Transportation is offered to medical appointments, and community outings include trips to shopping, casinos, museums and restaurants.

Common areas are available for meeting with family and friends. Residents can bring a laptop, tablet or smartphone to stay in touch with family and friends.
