Ongoing nursing support or a secured setting are the reasons someone lands here. Two hundred and two beds are on the license.

A Dedicated Rehabilitation Space takes in Rehabilitation to Home, Transitional and Short-Term Care, and Community Re-entry, aimed at recovery and at ordinary life afterward. Family Training and Involvement hands relatives something to learn and something to do.

Nursing per resident is 3 hours and 22 minutes across a day. Private pay, Medicaid, and Medicare all work here, with Medicare the short-term one, limited to skilled treatment following a hospital discharge rather than a permanent address.

Transportation is listed among the amenities. A walk score of 42 puts the area in car-dependent range, so what the neighborhood offers is mostly what a driver can reach. Metairie Operations operates the community.
