Independent Living Communities in Baton Rouge, LA

"I was very impressed with Whealdon Estates by Barclay House. It's very spacious and up-to-date, and everybody, including the staff, was so friendly. I was impressed by the rooms, particularly the one-bedroom apartment I saw during the tour. I'm also impressed with the atmosphere and what they have to offer that is included in the rent. The dining area was very nice, too. They have exercises done sitting down in chairs and exercises for people who can't get around very well. I also like all of the amenities that come with the place, they're one of the things that sold me."

"I saw Lakewood Sherwood Village for a tour. I like it. It was clean, pretty, roomy, and nice. The tour was great. The staff showed me how well the room was set up. She didn't have an empty one right then, but she took me to one to let me see how it looked and how the furniture could be put in. I went to the kitchen, and you can either eat in their room if they want or eat in the dining room. I looked at the grounds. It was very open, very clean, and there was lots of light. It was a great place. The staff who gave the tour was wonderful. She was great. Gabby was really good. With regards to food, when you move there, you get breakfast and lunch. If you want supper or a snack, it might cost you a little more money."

"We toured the Williamsburg Senior Living Community. It was nice to see the layout of the whole facility, and also what they have for the seniors, the activities they like to do to keep them busy, and the meals that they have. It's pretty much everything was there for them. It was a nice place. The only issue was my mom, she's Asian, we're an Asian family, and she would like to see other Asian community seniors or something. If she stayed there, she wouldn't feel comfortable. It's very clean and very nice. When we took the tour with my mom, she liked it too, it's just that she just felt like if she stayed there, she would feel lonely. The staff I believe they're excellent. I introduced pretty much all the staff that were there for let's say over 10, 20 years. They've been there for a while. They had a recreational area and a gym. Also, my mom has a green thumb. She would love to plant, and they said they have an area where you can just plant."

"We have chosen Francois Bend for my dad. I like the location. I like the way that the staff seems to care. I like the things that were offered by the place: Medication management was a big one. A spacious studio apartment was another one. The staff who gave the tour was very good, very informative, and helpful. The place looked like a resort instead of a nursing home type of place."

"Holly Court Assisted Living is a very nice place. Holly Court is a very nice place. They had an area where they created stuff, where you do different pictures. I liked that. They were also very professional, friendly, kind, and wheelchair accessible. The food was good, I'm a big eater, and I tested everybody's food. I went around lunchtime for that purpose, so they invited me to come around that time. They have games."

"I toured Southside Gardens Assisted Living Center. My aunt likes this one the best. The staff members were great. They were very pleasant, and they helped us. The food was great and everything. The rooms were nice. The set-up of them was great. I like the set-up. They have a pool, and they have all kinds of stuff. It was good."
