Assisted Living Communities in Zachary, LA

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

"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."

"Southside Gardens is probably where my father would go. It fits better within his budget. The amenities were good. The staff was very friendly and very caring. They have 2 different types of private area. The private rooms were smaller than those at another community, but the staff appeared to be just as caring. It was not as new, but the location was just as close to my father's present house, and the price was more fitting with his income at present without getting any assistance. And if residents needed to have special appointments, they were able to bring them to that and stay with the residents if they needed to."

"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. "

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

"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."

"St. James Place was wonderful, but I can't afford it. It's beautiful. I have friends who are there and my sister looked at it too. I loved it. The rooms that we saw were very nice and had high ceilings. If it weren't for my finances, I would probably move in in a minute. It had grounds, a lot of green space, and a lake. You could have a garden home, a cottage, a 2-bedroom, or a 1-bedroom. You could choose assisted living or memory care. It would cost more, but you could progress and still stay in the same place. The staff member I met was very friendly and very nice. Everyone spoke to you as you walked down the hall. The food was delicious."

"I did a tour of Garden View Assisted Living - Baton Rouge. I liked everything about it. It was good, but my mom just liked the other one better. The staff members were very understanding and informative. They were excellent. It was just well-maintained with lots of amenities. They have an exercise room and a salon. They had a nice courtyard and outdoor area, all that stuff. It's close to our family, and close to the hospital."

"I visited Holly Court Assisted Living. It looked very nice and clean. I didn't have any interaction with the staff other than the person who was giving me the tour. She was helpful, answered questions, and showed me a sample room, which is a studio. I liked the place, but it was out of my brother-in-law's price range, unless he shared a room. If he did a semi-private room, he might be able to go there. The dining area was empty when I went, but it was clean."

"La Plantation Retirement Community was very nice. Its homey in a big plantation style place, and we're looking at putting my aunt in there. We met several of the staff members including the kitchen staff; they were very out and about and very friendly. There were lots of activities for them to do. Its very reasonably priced. The rooms were bigger than the other places -- which is nice -- and they have tub and shower combos. It's a bigger, more open space kind of atmosphere. "

"The Claiborne at Baton Rouge is clean, pretty, and stylish. We went to look at their assisted living for my parents. They have what they call a rehab, where the residents exercise to get them moving. There is also a common area for activities. We tried their food. The service was good, but the taste of the food wasn't as good as the other places we went to."

"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 "

"One of the reasons Mom and Dad picked Magnolia Brook on Siegen was that they have memory care facilities and mom is settling into that. I really like the facility. The staff has been attentive. They have worked with the family, and they helped us deal with the fact that Mom and Dad didn't have any kids in the immediate area. I highly recommend them. Mom and Dad started in assisted living, but after Dad passed away, that was no longer a good plan, so Mom moved to memory care. The staff is very good, extremely professional, more than helpful, and caring. They make me feel like they're making my parents part of the family. They said the food was good, but I haven't eaten there personally. They were being treated through a nutritionist's standpoint, so they were being provided with the nutrition they needed."
