The Lodge at Lane in Zachary, an all-new assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing care facility, will open its doors to new residents on March 15. The 90-room complex, which includes 39 assisted living suites plus 12 suites for memory care and 39 skilled nursing rooms, has been under construction since late 2020 next to Lane Regional Medical Center.
According to Kaley Hill, president of Hometown Healthcare Management, which owns and will operate the facility, “Our company and our employees are excited to open The Lodge at Lane to the people of Zachary and the surrounding region.”
Tamara K. Dayton, LCSW, has been named to the position of director/community relations for The Lodge at Lane and has been active in the ongoing construction of the facility and in the final planning. Dayton has been a resident of Zachary for more than 27 years and earned a Master’s in Social Work in 1996 from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Following completion of her education, she joined the staff of Lane Regional Medical Center in Zachary where she served for nearly 25 years as social services supervisor. She is a licensed clinical social worker.
The facility encompasses nearly 75,000 square feet of new construction on its campus. Current staff of Lane Senior Care will be brought into the overall staff at The Lodge at Lane while additional staffing have been brought on board as the opening date nears. “Our goal is for The Lodge at Lane to be a staple in our community and a place our residents are proud to call home,” said John Stagg, CEO of Hometown Healthcare Management. “This facility will be a positive addition to our community for many years to come and will serve the people of our region with respect and dignity.”
Acquired from Lane Regional by Hometown Healthcare Management in the fall of 2020, Lane Nursing Home now continues to serve families and residents but will operate under the name The Lodge at Lane following the March 15 opening.
