The Best Assisted Living Communities in East Baton Rouge Parish, LA

"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 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. "

"Maison de Fleur was my second choice because it was new. The fact that it was so brand new, there were very few residents there, so the staff would be able to pay attention to the residents. It was very clean because it was very brand new. I smelled the cooking when I was there, and it was a very good smell. At that time though, they only had 5 residents, so I didn't see any of the posted activities."

"My parents liked Southside Gardens. They liked the fact that it didn’t have interior quarters, only small cottages that were a nice size. They were very satisfied with the food. They had the opportunity to meet the residents and had a good feeling about the place."

"I visited Garden View Assisted Living - Baton Rouge for my mom. It was very nice, but it was more pricey than the other two I also visited. From what I saw, I have no complaints, it is just more pricey than what I can afford. The one-bedroom was very roomy. They give you a microwave and a full-size refrigerator; it was very nice. They also have a big walk-in closet. It was very roomy. The people I met were very nice. They had an exercise room, arts and crafts, and a TV room where they can watch movies. The place was very well maintained, very clean, and very updated."

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

"We just moved my dad into Amber Terrace. It is hard to say that I like it already, but so far, so good. My family likes it. My dad likes the food; it's good. They have a variety of activities from exercises to mental activities to excursions. Cleanliness and maintenance look good. All the staff members have been very nice."

"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!"

"I am in independent living, not life care. I have been happy with St. James. I have a comfortable apartment, some cleaning and laundry services, no charge for electricity, no yard upkeep, no homeowners insurance, plenty of social activities, transportation to doctor's visits and grocery stores if I need it, and many opportunities to mix with other active seniors. Food is not gourmet, but it's ok.. Nothing is perfect but I like it here, "

"We visited, and it was a good experience. It was my first choice of places. We had a great person. She was new. She wasn't as knowledgeable as the other people, but she did a good job. It's new, so everything was new inside of it. It was very quiet. That's what I liked about it, but it wasn't the best suit for us. They're great, super modern, and well kept. They are nice. We were offered to have lunch there, but we didn't eat."

"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 "

"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. "
