With nearly 200 senior living facilities to choose from in Louisiana, you or a loved one will have options for quality care. But having all those options can also make finding the right senior living facility feel daunting. There are various types of care provided, which can narrow your search. If you’re looking for senior apartments or independent living, that will be a lot different from facilities that provide memory care, skilled nursing support, or other levels of assisted living.
In order to make your search easier, we’ve narrowed our list to the top communities throughout the state of Louisiana. You can also consult the senior living directory to find places close to you. If you’d rather, feel free to contact us for more information, and we’ll help you find the Louisiana senior living facility that’s going to meet your needs, or the one that works for your loved one’s required level of care.
Helping a Loved One Transition to Senior Living
It can be difficult for someone to make the switch from their current home to senior living, but you can help a loved one transition by working with them to find a quality, safe, enjoyable location that provides them with a feel of home and activities they can participate in.
Ranking The Best Louisiana Senior Living Facilities
To get the rankings of Louisiana senior living communities, we looked at a variety of factors. Among these factors were the reviews and ratings that the facilities had online. We also looked to make sure the facilities didn’t have any state violations, and took those into account if they were present. Both recent and older violations were considered, but more recent ones held more weight. Cost was also included, to give a better, overall picture of the value of the facility.
In Louisiana, the average costs for assisted living on a monthly basis are around $3,748. That’s just a few dollars per month higher than a home health aide, and assisted living will generally provide a more comprehensive level of care and security. A private room in a nursing facility, by comparison, will cost approximately $6,000 per month. While the cost of a Louisiana senior living facility certainly matters, taking other factors into account along with the price can help you make the best decision for the future.

What residents and loved ones have to say about The Carpenter House:
Our special needs son Ken was a patient in the Carpenter House in Shreveport, and I am extremely grateful for our experience there. The medical directors, nursing staff, nurses’ assistants, chaplain, and volunteers were so very kind and compassionate to both Ken and me while we were there. Since I’m not from Shreveport, I fully expected to feel very alone while we were there. My fears of feeling alone and homesick were quickly negated by the love and kindness shown by the staff as soon as we walked in the front door. Ken died on February 3rd, and I feel blessed to have experienced the Carpenter House. To me, the Carpenter House in Shreveport represents the epitome of hospice care.

What residents and loved ones have to say about Summerfield Senior Living of Hammond:
For the nearly 3 years that my mother lived at Summerfield in Hammond our experience was wonderful. All the staff were very caring and provided compassionate care and services to my mother. It was very comforting knowing that she was in good hands when we were not able to be present to care for her or provide company to her. The other residents of Summerfield were like family to her and she enjoyed the many activities that were scheduled there on a daily basis. I would strongly recommend this facility to anyone looking to find a great place for a loved one to enjoy themselves in a retirement community setting. I personnally visited my mother on a regular basis at different times of the day and night and never found anything that was out of the ordinary or suspicious of anything other than an exceptional place to be.
