What to Consider About Assisted Living in Ascension Parish

Ascension Parish in south Louisiana blends a relaxed vibe with a vibrant Cajun culture. From the annual Jambalaya festival to historic architecture, there are plenty of things for active seniors to enjoy in the parish.  

Seniors make up 11.4 percent of the almost 123,000 residents in Ascension Parish, and the area has three assisted living facilities to support that population.

In Ascension Parish, as in all of Louisiana, assisted living communities are called Adult Residential Care Providers (ARCPs) and are divided into four categories based on the specific number of seniors at the facility and the level of care provided. The Louisiana Department of Health licenses and regulates all ARCPs in the state, including those in Ascension Parish.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Ascension Parish

  • Ascension Parish has a warm subtropical climate, including mild winters and hot, humid summer weather. Seniors in the area can enjoy outdoor activities throughout the winter months, but any ARCP families are considering should have plans in place to protect residents from extreme summer heat or the occasional polar weather event during the winter.
  • Ascension Parish is home to world-class medical facilities, including St. Elizabeth Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Ascension Parish has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Ascension Council on Aging, an organization that provides outreach, transportation assistance and wellness activities for seniors as well as operating two senior centers in the region.
  • The cost of living in Ascension Parish is about nine percent higher than the national average, but health care costs are slightly lower than the average, which may help offset other costs for seniors who use a lot of health care services.
  • Louisiana tax laws offer some breaks for seniors, including income exclusions for social security, some pensions and some retirement income. Seniors in assisted living facilities in Ascension Parish can take advantage of these tax breaks to keep more money available for personal use.
  • Seniors with respiratory issues may have problems with poor air quality in Ascension Parish. The American Lung Association gave the parish an F grade for ozone levels.
