The time, patience and care the staff put into just speaking to me on the phone was heartwarming. It’s difficult time when trying to find a place for senior loved ones., they made it easy.

I toured The Gables Assisted Living. It was very clean, neat, and well-kept. I liked it. The staff was very nice and personable. I had a little dizzy spell and didn't have my walker with me, so...
Shreveport’s position as the tri-state economic regional hub, known as Ark-La-Tex, may account for its above-average assisted living fees. It also may explain why it’s costlier than nearby Louisiana cities, with Alexandria averaging $2,900 and Monroe averaging $2,650. Across the Texas border, but still in Ark-La-Tex, the fees for Texarkana are also low, at $2,770, although Longview’s seniors typically pay $4,275.

The 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey shows Shreveport’s seniors should expect to pay $3,870 per month for assisted living care. This cost is around $122 per month more than the average Louisiana senior, but a monthly savings of $630 compared to the typical American.
Assisted living’s average fee of $3,870 is costlier than the nearest equivalent service, in-home care, which has a median cost of $3,241. Home health care is a medical service that also averages $3,241 per month. However, as it’s a limited service without the scope or level of care nursing homes provide, its fees are naturally below that provider’s median of $5,384 per month. The most affordable option is adult day health care, at $1,842.
