Meet The Team
Meet Our Caregivers: Well Beyond OrdinaryWhether it’s participating in an arts and crafts project or dancing, our caregivers bring their unique personalities to the Encore community, offering residents an all-around charming experience.
Our caregivers take the time to learn meaningful details about each resident, creating a true bonding experience. We take the time to truly understand what makes our residents light up. Trusted relationships with residents blossom into friendships. Whether it’s bringing them tea in the afternoon, reading them a book, or telling a good joke, we go to great lengths to keep our residents smiling. This philosophy of personalized care makes it easier and more enjoyable for our residents to reach the goals they set for themselves.

Cory Gatte
Administrator+
With a heart of gold and commitment to providing excellent care to Encore’s residents, Cory Gatte is a ray of sunshine for residents, their families, and other caregivers. He is eager to please and brings positivity to every aspect of our community, from joining group activities to visiting with residents.
Our residents love Cory so much that when they are discharged to go back home, they often say they will miss the caring community they temporarily called home.
In addition to being a Licensed Nursing Facility Administrator in Louisiana, Cory has an accounting degree, but found himself drawn to the long-term care industry. With 12 years of senior care experience, he has found his true calling at Encore. Cory is an active member of the Crowley Chamber of Commerce, and serves on two boards, including the Leadership Excel and the LSUE Foundation.
