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 Inspired Living at Kenner:
Wonderful staff and place for my Mom. I can’t stress enough how Amanda Gisclair made the whole sales and move-in experience seamless, calm and a easy transition. This is even more important for residents in Memory Care, like my Mom. There are so many activities and outings for them. A nurse is onsite 24/7. Campbell McClure, the Memory Care Director, spent time with Mom and myself going over what her needs are. He is always visible on the unit. Mom has a great big smile on her face whenever I visit her!! Thank you to the Inspired Living – Kenner team!

What residents and loved ones have to say about Magnolia Brook on Siegen Lane:
I have toured and had additional visits to all the facilities in the Baton Rouge area. I knew from the first time meeting Teri, Sherry and Shaun that Magnolia Brook was the place for our family. They were so kind and forthcoming during my many visits. Magnolia Brook isn’t just like home, it is HOME!! I have two family members there. One in assisted living and the other in memory care. We enjoy an afternoon cocktail visiting with other residents every evening. And the food, AMAZING!! Chef Mike Foster is incredible!! The courtyards in each area are beautiful!! Its just comfortable and comforting knowing our family is in such great care. Its so comfortable that in the many sitting areas I kick off my shoes and relax!! Go see for yourself!! You wont be disappointed!!

Years ago when my father needed good quality memory care with options to keep him active (he was always on the go) there was nothing that held a candle to cedar crest. Refreshing to see such strides taken to help these loved ones thru what seemed to be such a lonely world for my dad.

What residents and loved ones have to say about The Verandah Retirement Living in Lake Charles:
My family and I cant say enough regarding the wonderful care our father is currently receiving. He lives in Memory Care at the Verandah and we are continually being updated on his status during this Pandemic. The caregivers work well with our sitter to provide every opportunity for us to FaceTime or even see him through the fence in their beautiful outdoor area. There are so many people working together to make this unfortunate time the best it can possibly be: nurse aids, nurses, activity director, kitchen staff, etc. I am most amazed that they have had NO cases in their facility. This shows the kind of precautions that are being taken for their residents. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

What residents and loved ones have to say about Avanti Senior living at Covington:
If you’re looking for an assisted living community with a memory care program, I would highly recommend Avanti Senior Living. My mother has been living there for a few months and we are so thankful that we found Avanti. It was getting harder and harder for her to take care of herself, so we knew we had to intervene. Avanti is a blessing!
