What to Consider About Assisted Living in Marrero

In Marrero, as well as in the rest of Louisiana, assisted living facilities comply with licensing standards set by the Louisiana Department of Health. It recognizes four levels of assisted living and requires facilities to comply with rules for housing, staffing and care planning. The department also conducts regular inspections to promote a high standard of care for residents. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Marrero

  • West Jefferson Medical Center sits in Marrero proper, giving assisted living residents access to diverse inpatient and outpatient services. At this hospital, individuals access heart and vascular, respiratory and wound care services, along with 24-hour emergency care from board-certified ER physicians.
  • Jefferson Parish, where Marrero sits, ranks 15th out of Louisiana’s 64 surveyed counties for overall health, as well as in the top percentiles for health outcomes and factors. The region has a primary care physician for every 1,020 residents, versus one per 1,430 statewide and 1,310 nationally, helping to cut down on wait times to schedule exams and screenings. The typical life expectancy comes in at 76.7, which falls short of the national norm of 78.5 but exceeds Louisiana’s average of 75.2. To promote access to health and wellness services, assisted living communities in Marrero often have medical concierge and transportation services.
  • Louisiana doesn’t tax seniors’ Social Security benefits or the money they receive from public pensions, and it provides exemptions on the taxes they pay on withdrawals from retirement investment accounts. Sales taxes can run high, but seniors don’t pay state sales tax on groceries or prescription drugs, which can reduce costs for the items they purchase most often.
  • The cost of living in Marrero runs nearly 9% over the state norm and roughly 3% below the national average, which may make the city a financially favorable option for prospective assisted living residents. Additionally, Louisiana helps qualified seniors pay for assisted living through its Medicaid Long Term Care program, improving access to affordable care in Marrero.
  • Marrero ranks as safer than 12% of U.S. communities and 24% of cities across Louisiana, and its crime rate tracks higher than other cities across the nation with similarly sized populations. Both property and violent crime occur more often here than in typical Louisiana and U.S. cities. However, neighborhoods such as Estelle South, Crown Point and Marrero South see relatively little criminal activity, appealing to prospective assisted living residents researching local care options.
