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. There are three assisted living communities within its borders and another 16 facilities are located in nearby towns and cities, including Baton Rouge, the state's capitol. In Louisiana, the state Department of Health and Human Services licenses ALFs and other residential adult care programs. Programs are certified at four different levels, with ALFs being level 3. 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.

Crime rates in Denham Springs are much higher than the national average and even higher than rates in Baton Rouge. There are more than 18 crimes per day per 100,000 people in the city, and while crime has decreased in recent years, it may still be a concern for assisted living residents.
- While Louisiana does have an income tax, it doesn't tax income that comes from certain government benefits such as Social Security, making it a tax-friendly state for retirees.
- Denham Springs has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Livingston Council on Aging, an organization that provides meals and other services to seniors throughout the parish, as well as three senior centers.
