Assisted Living Communities in Denham Springs, LA

"My uncle moved into Harvest Manor Nursing Home. They have been taking very good care of him. He's in custodial care and they're doing everything they can. He's currently in a semi-private room, but they're moving everyone to private rooms in February. It's an older facility, but there's nothing wrong with it. He seems to really enjoy the food, and he said they're very good cooks."

"Both of my parents have been living in Maison de Fleur's Assisted Living facility in Denham Springs, LA since July 14th, 2018 since my dad's stroke. It took them about 2 months to get acclimated and feel like they were home. From that point, they both have been extremely happy and enjoy their living experience at Maison. They enjoy the staff, the outings, the planned activities, the entertainment & parties. As the adult child helping them through their elder years, it is encouraging to know they are being well taken care of and are happy. I highly recommend Maison for all of your Assisted Living needs for your family. They have a library, Salon and weekly bible studies, too, which my parents enjoy. The food is a good, usually dessert too after each meal. Rooms are a great size and the monthly rates are reasonable."

"The staff is amazing at this facility! They are always looking out for the best interest of their residence. I applaud them for all the precautions they have taken with everything going on to keep the residence safe and well. The grounds and facility are breath taking and so beautiful. I could go on and on about the director and asst director. They help however and whenever they can. That means a lot! They definitely go above and beyond. I am forever grateful for all the staff and residence for being so and kind! Absolute Best assisted living community around by far!! Do yourself a favor and go check them out!"

Small Setting, Big Difference, 24 Hour Care Fidelis Residential Care Homes are the caring alternative to nursing homes. We provide high-quality assisted living senior care through close supervision, activities, quality meals and assistance with activities of daily living in a pleasant, intimate setting for a limited number of residents. Fidelis Residential Care Homes: Owned and Operated by 3 Registered Nurses with over 55 years of combined experience Highest Caregiver-to-Resident Ratios 24-hour Protective Oversight and Assistance Screened, Trained and Experienced Caregivers Private and Semi-Private Rooms Available The Personal Care Home has become the preferred model of care in assisted living. The intimate setting and limited number of residents allows for each caregiver to become personally familiar with the capabilities, limitations, needs and personality of each resident. Not only does this result in a more comfortable, supportive and respectful home for each resident, it translates into better protective oversight and assistance. It also allows for residents to better acclimate to their surroundings and their caregivers. Room (private or semi-private accommodation) Room furnishings (as needed; dresser, nightstand, lamp, chair, bed) 24 Hour Supervision and Monitoring (protective oversight) Bathing Assistance Dressing, Grooming Assistance Ambulation/Transferring Supervision Medication Supervision Socialization/Activities/Entertainment 3 Meals and Snacks Daily Linens/bedding Laundering of machine washable clothing/linens Housekeeping PERSONAL CARE IN COMFORTABLE, MORE INTIMATE SURROUNDINGS Every resident receives personal attention and assistance tailored to his or her specific need, as well as one-on-one encouragement to maintain as many of his or her abilities and as much independence as possible. No resident is "lost in the crowd" or left behind a closed apartment door to fend for themselves. Qualified caregivers provide daily meals, housekeeping, medications supervision, and personal assistance. We also take the time to communicate with families to ensure that they are well informed of all care issues. At Fidelis, caring for a small number of residents means greater attention to the care needs of our residents, and greater peace of mind for everyone. Caregivers notice subtle changes in residents quickly and are able to alert physicians or family members of warning signs and any other changes. Caregivers are always nearby and residents need not rely only on emergency pull cords or similar devices to call for help from a distant nurse's station. Each resident is cared for and treated like family. Those with memory loss or moderate, non-aggressive dementia are also well suited to a more intimate environment. Residents easily become familiar with the small setting, consistent staff and a limited number of other residents around them.To learn more about this provider’s license and review other available state reports, please visit: Louisiana Deparment of Health Adult Residential Care Directory

"The building is old but the care is 2nd to none. I spoke with the Director and he is the most caring person I have met. Activities, games, outing, they have it all. Staff is very nice and helpful. Just seems like they really care about the residents. It’s like a big family. Rooms are nice and you can’t beat the pricing. "

"I toured Garden View Assisted Living Baton Rouge. The rooms are just average-sized rooms, but they're well-appointed. The hallways and the main facility areas are very spacious and very comfortable. They do their dining a little differently. Their memory care unit is divided into two sections and each section has its cooks, kitchen staff, and well-care staff as well in their dining area, so the memory care patients aren't all crowded together. There is a small group. There's no odor and everything's clean. It's got a lot of room and it feels warm in there. I love the design of the hallways. It's very unique."

"Fidelis House is a hidden gem. After much anguish with 2 other reputable, larger format "assisted living" / "memory care" facilities, we searched long and hard for the right solution for what we were made to believe was a troubled Mom. We were told that our Mom was refusing medication & showers and had become rude with staff. We tried working with them & her, to no resolve. They sent her to Ocean's Behavioral Hospital because the couldn't "handle" her. All while we were researching the behaviors to find that this was all normal Dementia behavior. When we tried to work with the facilities, but they made our Mom out to be troublesome & impossible. We were extremely stressed and distraught. After many attempts to resolve & remedy the issues, we realized that these larger facilities are not properly trained to handle, communicate or care for Dementia residents. It's that simple. They are not properly trained. They are not adequately staffed. Fidelis is run by 3 women (RN's) who have been in the industry for 15-25 years or so, and saw the NEED for a more one-on-one level care for seniors and Dementia residents so they started Fidelis. My Mom was taking her meds on day 1 at Fidelis and has not skipped a beat. Why? Because the person admin'ing the meds takes the time to tell her what she's taking and why. Simple. She has showered regularly, though still with a fuss, the staff is aware of her feelings and find ways to work with her each time to help her feel comfortable and confident. Where we were made to feel like our Mom was a mental case by the other facilities, Fidelis has recognized that its all NORMAL Dementia behaviors, have given my Mom the acceptance and time and care to build trust & let the issues dissipate. The value in that is immeasurable. She's allowed to have the space to be herself at Fidelis instead of being forced to conform to perfection of the schedule in the larger formats. "

"My visit to The Care Center was pleasant. I visited this facility because my mother-in-law lived here before she passed on. She was no longer able to live alone in her apartment, so our family searched for an assisted living facility. Upon finding the facility we conducted a tour and decided that The Care Center would be the place where she would reside. The staff was friendly as well as personable. They learned her name very quickly to make her feel at home, as well as learning mine, my husband's, as well as my sister-in-law's name, being that we would be visiting her quite frequently. The amenities were good as well. The room itself was nicely sized since she would not be doing much moving around on her own. The facility itself was nice in that it provided exercise for her since she was unable to really move around a lot. My mother in law passed away months ago, but at least her transition was done around people who loved and cared for her the most. "

"My father moved into Fidelis King Richard. It's a residential home. It's a single family residence that they've converted into a care home. It seemed to give a homey feel rather than an institutional feel. So far, so good. It hasn't really been too long, and I visited him a few times. They're taking dementia patients and so far, he's doing well, but with dementia patients you just really don't know. I did not eat, but I saw the residents eating. It's got all the necessities and it seems to be a good facility. They watch movies together and eat together. I don't know other activities."

Fidelis Residential Care Homes is owned and operated by two Registered Nurses with over 35 years of ER and Senior Care experience. It was formed to provide affordable, safe, and comfortable living accommodations with 24-hour personal care for our elderly community without sacrificing the warm feeling of home. We view our homes as “the caring alternative to nursing homes and the intimate alternative to assisted living.” Family members and loved ones will get the attention and care that they deserve, but are not able to get in a large institutional facility. Regulated by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, our small assisted living facilities may care for those individuals who, because of the ageing process or physical frailty, may no longer be able to live safely at home, but who do not need nor desire a more institutional setting, such as a skilled nursing facility. While many residents choose Fidelis simply because they want a smaller setting, others with physical limitations (such as difficulty walking, or those with medical conditions that require close monitoring) also thrive here. Some residents may have had recent hospital stays or are completing physical therapy after an injury or operation. Until complete recovery, additional service such as physical therapy or home health care can be arranged to assist them as needed.To learn more about this provider’s license and review other available state reports, please visit: Louisiana Deparment of Health Adult Residential Care Directory

"The staff at The Guest House is very helpful and friendly. My dad is not really happy with the food there. I would give the physical therapists extra-high praise because they are all very good and very professional. They are always available when I need to talk to them about my dad’s progress. My dad has a private room, which has a half bathroom, in a hall where all of the people there need only short-time care. They have church services, bingo, and movie nights. They need to improve their food to make it nice and healthy. They are doing a lot of renovations. "

"The Claiborne at Shoe Creek was very clean, well-kept, and new. You can tell the workers were very polite. The man who took us around was very good and pleasant. He took a lot of time with us and answered our questions. The facility smelled fresh. We saw the dining room, the craft room, and the hair salon. They were even getting ready for a tour bus to go out for dinner."

"Beautifully landscaped courtyard and private grounds, complete with recreational area for relaxing & socializing. Secured & gated, providing residents with safety & security. Licensure by the Louisiana Department of Social Services. Its position it's the very best, full of nature and life, it's a really perfect place to have a walk, the staff it's rather nice even if a saw better places sincerely, anyway the kindness of nature and the tranquillity of the place it's what to me makes this place special. The city of Baton Rouge it's pretty also, but somehow there aren't many buses to get to the city center, so sometimes you may feel a little bit isolated, and you can't get the guests to a daytrip in a museum or a cinema or something like that. In summer it may gets pretty hot, and the wooden structures doesn't helps at all! Beautiful place, rather beautiful people but bad structures and bad position. "

"For my mother, The Claiborne at Baton Rouge is the one that seemed to fit the best. I like the room sizes that have separate living and bedroom spaces. I like the fact that it was clean and spacious. Nice décor and friendly staff. Overall, the facilities seemed to be at a higher level than in other places. The staff who took me around was excellent. I saw a refrigerator and a microwave in the unit. They have like a really large screened-in area, and they have some outside gardens."
