Overview of Laurel Senior Living

Laurel Senior Living is a nursing home and assisted living community in New Orleans, offering skilled nursing care. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident remains in a private living space. Skilled nursing has licensed nurses on site around the clock for residents who need ongoing clinical support. Respite care and short term rehabilitation are available for limited stays, including when a usual caregiver needs time away or a resident is recovering before returning to regular care.

Laurel Senior Living opened in 1966. Its combination of assisted living and nursing care may suit a resident whose needs could increase over time without requiring a move to another community. Housing includes studios, efficiencies, one bedroom units, and two bedroom rooms. A studio or efficiency keeps living in one space, while a two bedroom layout can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion.

A salon, landscaped and paved courtyards, garden spots, and a campus pharmacy give residents access to grooming, outdoor areas, and pharmacy services within the community. The community has a Walk Score of 94, classified as a walker’s paradise, so daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Scheduled transportation supports planned trips beyond the campus. Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving in.

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.

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.
