What to Consider About Assisted Living in Kenner

Assisted living facilities in Kenner are licensed and regulated by the Louisiana Department of Health’s Health Standards Section. HSS ensures that all licensing regulations are met through periodic surveys and facility inspections. It also investigates complaints of noncompliance, abuse, neglect and more.

 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Kenner

  • Kenner’s air quality scores 45 out of 100, 13 points below the U.S. average of 58. Though this score is great when compared to some of the country’s major cities, air quality that is less than ideal may affect people with respiratory issues. Fortunately, many senior care facilities have air purifying systems in place, promoting an environment where seniors can flourish.
  • Seniors with medical needs may appreciate that quality health care is readily available in Kenner, with several urgent care facilities, medical clinics and hospitals, such as the East Jefferson General Hospital, in the area. The city has around 306 physicians per 100,000, which is considerably more than the U.S. average of 210.
  • Sandwiched between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, as well as subjected to the occasional hurricane, Kenner is at a high flood risk. Thankfully, the JPAlert flood warning system keeps residents informed of potential flooding so they can take precautions to safeguard their families and properties. Seniors living in assisted living communities have the advantage of not being responsible for too much property, and many facilities are well-equipped to deal with heavy rain.
  • Kenner is home to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, which can cause the city to be a bit noisy at times. However, having an airport nearby means friends and family have easy access to transportation. 
  • On a 100-point scale, Kenner scores 19.1 points for violent crime, which is slightly less than the U.S. average of 22.7. However, the city’s property crime rate is another matter. At a rate of 44.5, property crimes in Kenner exceed the national average of 35.4 by 9.1 points. However, seniors living in assisted living communities need not lose much sleep over the crime rate, as most have stringent security measures in place, ensuring the safety of residents and their belongings.
