What to Consider About Assisted Living in Denham Springs
Denham Springs, in Livingston Parish, has waterways, golf and museums for seniors to explore. The small town of under 10,000 residents has a substantial senior population of just over 17 percent.

At minimum in the state, licensed assisted living facilities must provide certain care services and provide individuals with at least one-room apartments with a kitchenette and a private bathroom.
