It was Ash Wednesday, the day following Fat Tuesday (or Mardi Gras) when the Rotary Club of Winnfield heard a presentation on the efforts of the local Krewe of Kingfish to keep the spirit of Mardi Gras alive and well here in this north Louisiana community.

Rotarian Jane Purser had the program and it was she and her husband Don who chaired the committee that first brought Mardi Gras and the Krewe of Kingfish to Winnfield in 1993. That was the year that the city celebrated the 100th birthday of hometown celebrity Huey P. Long. Fellow Rotarian Samantha Kelly who now serves on the Krewe of Kingfish brought the presentation to the club.

Resident and family expectations have changed significantly in the nursing home industry over the past several decades and Winn-based Central Management continues to be a leader among Louisiana’s nursing facilities in adapting to meet those expectations.

Rotarian Teddy Price, Central Management’s CEO, brought several administrators to the Feb. 22 meeting of the Rotary Club of Winnfield for a program on the “Rockstars” program, one tool they are employing to encourage staffers to meet the changing expectations.

The length of stay of nursing facility residents is considerably shorter than it was 20 years ago. Then, the nursing home was often the final residence for a patient before they died. Now, with hospital stays being much shorter, rehabilitation in nursing facilities plays a much larger role. Customers are generally coming in younger and healthier than before. Last year, 7 in 10 transitioned back home with the completion of therapy.

Ms. Kaylea Ann Boyett and Mr. Logan Ryan Adams are excited to announce their engagement and upcoming marriage.

Ms. Boyett is the daughter of Teena and Dion Boyett of Dodson and is the granddaughter of Don and Helen Boyett of Natchitoches and the late Francis Watson and late Manuel Watson, both of Dodson. She is a 2012 graduate of Calvin High School, a 2016 graduate of Bossier Parish Community College, and is employed at Winn Community Health Center.

Mr. Adams is the son of Gwen Weeks Adams and the grandson of Evyonne and Betty Joe Weeks of Goldonna and Max and Lou Ellen Adams, also of Goldonna. He is a 2011 graduate of Calvin High School and is employed by Acuren Inspection.
