Overview of Poydras Home

Poydras Home offers assisted living, adult day care, a continuing care retirement community, home care, independent living, memory care, nursing care, and respite care in New Orleans, LA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks, while independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and nursing care provides ongoing nursing support on site.

Adult day care provides care during the day, allowing someone to receive support without moving into residential care. Home care brings services to a resident’s own home, while respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs time away. The range of care types may suit a resident whose needs change over time, because continuing care communities can support movement between care levels without leaving the community. Poydras Home has private rooms, giving each resident a room of their own. The community is in the West Riverside neighborhood, and a Walk Score of 92 places the area in a walker’s paradise, meaning daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
