Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Houma may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Houma 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 Houma, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

Residential Care Home
My mother was only here for one day. There was only one caregiver on duty during the day, and because she is not mobile, she needed more attendants. I really appreciated that they called me and were honest about this. The people were very open and friendly and all the other residents seemed happy right when you walked in the door. My mom is currently on the waiting list for another community that is owned by the same woman.
My father was one of the first residents in this home and we were only there for 16 days, but we loved the staff. They worked so hard to keep everything clean and beautiful. They were so kind to us. I was so glad that my father was with such wonderful people when he passed away.
