Louisiana Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care - Services

For those that have never lived in the south before, there is definitely a term and literal expression of “southern hospitality” where people tend to be extremely friendly and treat complete strangers like well-known family members. It’s a refreshing alternative compared to other states that don’t have the same reputation, and translates well to high quality elderly care.

Louisiana dementia care homes are rich in terms of daily meals and comfortable beds and extremely caring staff. Along with cooking up signature items on a daily or weekly basis, the vast majority of Alzheimer’s care homes in the state also provide more than one choice for each meal. Along with a dessert option, some gourmet kitchens may even make homemade soups and fresh salads on a daily basis, or even serve up local seafood.

The rooms provide a nice combination of size and coziness. The beds should be comfortable for the resident with quick and easy access to the bathroom. Generally, the bathrooms in the dementia care units are 100 percent handicap accessible, and staff can even assist further if the resident requires help using the bathroom or bathing.

Last but certainly not least, Alzheimer’s care homes in Louisiana are usually designed to provide a safe and secure premise for residents. Since wandering can be something that people with Alzheimer’s and dementia have a habit of doing, extra measures are usually taken to keep the perimeter secure. Also, due to the 24-hour monitoring staff is usually able to learn very quickly if a resident is unaccounted for.
