On Broadway Street in New Orleans’s Black Pearl neighborhood, Lambeth House Retirement Community occupies a 12-story building with a view of the Mississippi River. It’s a life plan community, meaning it carries independent living, assisted living, and nursing home care under one roof, designed for residents who expect to age in place across multiple levels of care.

Apartments run from one to three bedrooms across 683 to 1,350 square feet. Housekeeping, linen service, and utilities come included.

Named programs include the Leadership program and The Lambeth Literary Journal. Religious services and volunteer programs round out the community calendar.
Walk Score 50 puts the Black Pearl location in moderately walkable territory. Lambeth House is state-licensed, not CMS-certified, which means Medicare and Medicaid don’t apply here; it operates on private terms under Louisiana’s regulatory framework for continuing care communities.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Louisiana
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 nursing home care?
Yes — Louisiana Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
What is nursing home care?
Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
