ABOUT THE ELLINGTON
Dedicated Experience
and Expertise Since 1966
It’s our staff that makes the difference. They are friendly, knowledgeable and always working hard to help The Ellington feel like a home away from home. We are unique in that we have far more stability and longevity among our staff than most long-term care providers in our area.
​
The experience and expertise that comes from such dedication and commitment is priceless — not only because of how valuable the individuals are but also because of how much they have to offer the rest of the staff in terms of guidance, background and stability.
​
The Ellington’s setting is the best of both worlds. We are located in a small town of only 8,000 residents that offers a country town feeling. At the same time, we are only a few minutes from Lafayette and all the services and amenities that it has to offer.
​
We invite you to come visit and tour

Late Resident
The one thing that really drew us to the Ellington was the sense of community. I knew that they would take care of them. I would advise anyone if you're thinking about it, to even just stop by. Stop by unannounced.

The friendliness of the people, the helpfulness, and the cleanliness, it's just a step above every other place we have been.

My friend's father had had a stroke and they were looking into places and I just kept telling her over and over, go to the Ellington. You're not going to regret it. It's friendly. There's always activities. You see, people that you grew up with.

Daughter of Resident
Well, I needed some help off and on. And of course, I went into therapy and the therapy place, I can't brag enough about it. Uh they have a wonderful staff. And then after I went home, I came back for outpatient therapy.

The care my mother receives here has been excellent. We’ve never had to worry. if anything comes up, the staff keeps us informed and handles it in a way we feel confident in. We’ve been very happy with her experience. It truly feels like a second home for her.
