Assisted Living Communities in Denham Springs, LA

"Mother lived in La Plantation Retirement Community for 2 years. It was very good. There, she had an apartment, and she did her own laundry. They had activities and a cafeteria; she ate well there, so the experience was good. The staff was extremely nice. I still keep in touch with the lady that owned it; she became a friend as well. La Plantation has good food for breakfast and for lunch. At supper, they had sandwiches most nights, and I wasn’t that thrilled with that. Sandwiches at night were not something that mother was used to having because she liked something warm for supper. When she wanted some soups or noodles that she could add some water to and put it in a microwave, I had supplies of that taken in for her so that she could eat whatever she wanted. To me, the beauty of the grounds was phenomenal. They had fountains, fish pools, and a beautiful, great, big three-towered fountain in the front that they could go sit around. They had little park areas in the building that had fish ponds with benches that they could sit around. That really stood out to me because it gave them something other than just seeing the inside of a building. "

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.

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. "

"After a very difficult and disappointing experience at a well-known nursing home, our family moved my mother to Fidelis Residential Care House on King Richard Drive in Baton Rouge. Looking back, we only wish we had found this place sooner. Fidelis truly feels like a home rather than a facility. The residential setting is comfortable, peaceful, and personal. From the beginning, it was clear that the staff genuinely cares about the people living there. The caregivers are attentive, compassionate, and consistent in the way they look after the residents. One of the biggest differences from our previous experience was the caregiver-to-resident ratio. The staff is able to watch residents more closely, stay on top of medical issues, and communicate quickly with family members and healthcare providers when something needs attention. Our mother has since passed away, but during her time at Fidelis she was always clean, comfortable, safe, and treated with dignity and kindness. That gave our family something that is priceless when caring for an elderly parent — peace of mind. If you are searching for a place for a loved one who can no longer safely care for themselves, I strongly recommend Fidelis Residential Care. It made a very meaningful difference for our family."

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 grounds were well-kept and it didn't smell like other homes for the elderly that I'd been in. The staff was nice and escorted me to the friend I visited when she had moved or was outside of her room. Sometimes it seemed like an inordinate number of people were sitting in the halls unattended, but otherwise I thought it was a nicer facility than most I've been in. "

"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."

"My brother is staying at Holly Court Memory Care, and we have decided on that place because it was $1500-to-$2000 cheaper than the rest of the places. I also had friends and another family member who have their family there, and they really raved about it. The staff is very nice. Everybody looked very happy and they're very attentive. My brother loves the food, and they've been giving him double portions since they say he can eat. The facility is clean. You can't smell any urine or Clorox. It just smells like a house, and the whole place really smells good, even the memory care section. The building looks very pretty and very classy, and they keep it up very nicely. The yard is pretty too. He's in the memory care, and I know that they provide him with snacks and hydration. They make ice cream and they're always in the room watching TV together, so they always make sure that he's active. All these things are geared for COVID restrictions, so the other activities have not started coming back. But they usually take them on a ride in a van, take them to Walmart, and that kind of stuff."

"As an experienced RN.BSN in end of life care I can assure you The Haven is excellent Caring staff, great food, excellent safety. THEY REALLY CARE FOR THEIR RESIDENTS "
