Southside Gardens Assisted Living Center
Southside Gardens Assisted Living Center in Baton Rouge offers assisted living, independent living, and respite care. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Respite care offers a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs time to travel or recover.
Having several care types in one community can help when a resident’s needs change, since moving to another level of care does not require leaving the community. The community has 48 beds, which may suit someone who prefers a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Residents may bring pets, and five acres of landscaped grounds include winding pathways for outdoor walks.
A swimming pool, whirlpool spa, water aerobics, and exercise classes give residents choices for water exercise and group activity. The beauty salon provides salon services on site. Home cooked meals may be delivered to a resident’s apartment or enjoyed in the dining room, so residents can choose between eating in their own space and sharing a meal with others. With a Walk Score of 68, the area falls in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to manage certain nearby errands independently.
