Residential care homes in Baton Rouge may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Baton Rouge care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Baton Rouge, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services.

Residential Care Home
I was almost sold when I visited with the owners over the phone. They were knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. When I entered the house, it was clean and had a fun atmosphere. The perfect place to put my mom in. She's been there for about 4 months and on a recent visit to my home, I asked how thing were going and she had nothing but great stuff to say. That is very comforting since my mom has always said that she did not want to be put in a nursing home. This is a home up to 8 women, two care givers 24 hours a day and nurses that visit daily to check on the patients. Fabulous place.
Mom enjoys living at House of Grace. The caregivers are nice and treat her like family. They have good healthy food. They keep the home clean and I would recommend it. They have a game room available as well as they have people come in to play music and sing.

As the state capital and home of Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge still has plenty of activities and goings-on that you might expect from a larger city, but without the hectic pace.

The aptly named Mall of Louisiana is a two-story affair with over one hundred retailers, as well as a multiplex movie theater, and interestingly enough, the third-largest indoor carousel in the world.
