Overview of The Gables at Spring Lake Assisted Living

Tucked into the Cedar Grove-Lynbrook neighborhood of Shreveport, Louisiana, The Gables at Spring Lake is a 55-bed community offering both assisted living and memory care. It sits at 8622 Line Ave. The area has a Walk Score of 32, which means it’s only somewhat walkable. Most errands here call for a car, though a handful of nearby spots can be reached on foot if someone’s up for it.

Registered nurses log 16 minutes per resident each day. LPNs put in 1 hour and 5 minutes. Nurse aides carry the heaviest load at 2 hours and 1 minute. That distribution means the bulk of daily hands-on care, bathing, mobility, basic monitoring, comes from aides, while licensed nurses step in for more specialized tasks and RNs oversee a narrower slice of clinical decisions.

Advanced pain management, respiratory therapy, wound care, and physical and occupational therapy all show up by name, alongside exercise programs and a rotation of entertainment and social events. That’s a fairly medically-oriented lineup for an assisted living setting, not just recreation and socializing. Residents also have access to a barber and a patio, plus personal care support built into daily life.

One detail matters for pet owners: this community isn’t listed as pet friendly. If a parent or spouse has a dog or cat they’re not willing to part with, that’s worth knowing early.

The numbers and the program list point to a place set up for residents who need real hands-on support and some ongoing therapeutic care, not just a quieter place to live. The rehabilitation-heavy program roster backs that up. This looks like a community built around consistent daily assistance rather than independent living with occasional check-ins.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Louisiana

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Louisiana?

Assisted living in Louisiana supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Louisiana?

Assisted living in Louisiana is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Louisiana Medicaid cover assisted living?

Louisiana Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Louisiana) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 117 assisted living facilities in Louisiana. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Louisiana?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Louisiana, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Louisiana?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
