What to Consider About Assisted Living in Denham Springs

The Louisiana Department of Health oversees assisted living facilities, known as adult residential care providers, in Denham Springs and throughout the rest of the state. The department licenses facilities according to four provider levels based on resident capacity and services provided.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Denham Springs

 

  • Although local living costs are slightly higher than the statewide norm, Denham Springs offers an overall cost of living that’s over 3% lower than the national average. Additionally, the Louisiana Department of Health operates several financial assistance programs, such as Medicaid Long-Term Care and Home and Community-Based Services, that may help qualifying seniors reduce their monthly assisted living fees.
  • Louisiana is tax-friendly for seniors, with zero taxes on Social Security retirement income and public pensions. While the state does tax retirement savings, seniors are eligible for tax breaks.
  • In keeping with regional norms, Denham Springs has a humid subtropical climate characterized by hot, sunny summers and mild winters. Yearly temperatures typically range between 43 degrees Fahrenheit and 92 degrees Fahrenheit; July is the hottest month, and January is the coolest month. The pleasant conditions in spring and fall are ideal for active seniors who enjoy outdoor leisure, and assisted living communities usually offer a range of indoor and outdoor activities throughout the year.
  • Health-wise, Denham Springs is home to several primary care, urgent care and specialty clinics, including those dedicated to dentistry, mental health and senior care. Plentiful pharmacies are at hand, and hospitals in the wider area include Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and West Feliciana Hospital.
  • On a 100-point scale, Denham Springs has a violent crime rate of 32.6, almost 10 points higher than the U.S. average. The city also has a significantly higher-than-average property crime rate than many places nationwide. Assisted living communities typically offer 24/7 staffing and security features, which, when teamed with a communal lifestyle, may provide greater peace of mind to residents and their families.
