Letting the Good Times Roll
Mardi Gras 2017 was a great one at Eastridge Nursing and
Rehabilitation. Members of the Eastridge team were invited
to ride in the city of Kaplan’s Mardi Gras parade. We truly
had a blast and thank them for asking us to ride!

A True LEADER
Eastridge’s own Tanya Bouillion took her walk on the hall of fame as a LEADER Service award
winner at the 8th annual LEADER (La. Enhancing Aging with Dignity through Empowerment &
Respect) Summit in Marksville. From nominations coming from multiple long-term care communities
throughout our great state of Louisiana, Tanya was 1 of only 4 people honored this week. Tanya's
title may say Ward Clerk, but her work exemplifies a service before self attitude in caring for our
seniors in the Eastridge community. Keep reaching for the stars, Tanya, and continue to fly high!
