Louisiana Assisted Living Levels of Care

In the state of Louisiana, an assisted living facility is referred to as Adult Residential Care Provider. The licensing entity is The Louisiana Department of Health, in the section that deals with health standards. This state has four distinct levels of senior health care.

  1. Level 1: Personal Care Facilities, which can have between 2 to 8 residents who are unrelated.
  2. Level 2: Shelter Care Facilities, which can have 9-16 residents
  3. Assisted Living Facilities, which can have unlimited capacity
  4. Adult Residential Care Facilities, which can also have unlimited capacity

If the resident’s condition becomes that which is not covered under level 1 or 2, they must be discharged. Any care cannot amount to care needed by a nurse 24 hours per day, in which case they are better suited for a retirement home. If the resident continues to need care beyond the scope of the level for which they are assigned, then they must provide a private care professional themselves. If the resident requires Alzheimer's or dementia care, they need to look for a memory care facility that specialized in providing such care.

Assisted Living Units Requirements in Louisiana

Level 1 Personal Care Facilities and Level 2 Shelter Care Facilities:

If it’s a single room with a single senior care occupant, the total living area floor space must be minimum 100 square net feet. This means no closets, alcoves or any other non-living area. If it’s a multiple occupancy senior living unit, it must be 70 square net feet of floor space per each resident. For Level 1 Personal Care and Level 2 Shelter Care a full bathroom must be available for every 4 senior care residents.

Level 3 Assisted Living Facilities and Level 4 Adult Residential Care Facilities:

Efficiency or studio assisted living or residential care units are common and must have 250 square feet of floor space excluding bathrooms and closets. They must include a kitchen and dining area that is distinct and living area. These areas alone should take up 190 square feet. Each bedroom that is separate must have 100 square feet of floor space excluding closets and bathrooms.

For Level 3 Assisted Living Care and Level 4 Adult Residential Care, all senior living apartments in Louisiana must have a separate private bathroom, which can be shared by roommates up to 2 people max in one room.

Grab bars, non-skid strips and any other fall risk and safety equipment needed will be installed in all assisted living units in Louisiana. All facilities will provide both public access and private access in whatever number needed to accommodate the senior care residents and their visitors.

Cost and Payment Options for Assisted Living in Louisiana

Louisiana statewide average cost is $3,550 per month for assisted living, with Lake Charles being the lowest priced at $2,125 monthly and New Orleans and Baton Rouge being the highest at over $4,000 per month. No Medicaid direct support or waivers are available currently to help offset Louisiana assisted living costs. The only waivers are for adult day care and at home care. This is typical of Medicaid to cater to seniors staying at home, which costs the state far less money than full-time assisted living care facilities and the like.

While no public assistance is available for assisted living costs in Louisiana, private payment methods may help pay for assisted living care. Retirement savings as well as any monthly income steams available to the senior or their family member will help pay for assisted living costs in Louisiana. If the senior previously purchased LTC insurance, the benefit can be used to pay for assisted living or residential care facilities in Louisiana.

Finding the Best Assisted Living in Louisiana

Have you ever been told by healthcare professionals that you should consider searching for an assisted living community for your parents? Perhaps you have been taking care of your older adult for the past few months or years, but now they need more senior care than you can offer.  How did it make you feel? How did you cope with the overwhelming thought of searching for the best assisted living community in Louisiana in such an emergency?

At a time, your elderly loved one was doing well physically and healthy enough to cater to his or her own needs and perform simple chores around the home. Then, suddenly, there was a fall that resulted in a broken joint or bone that took him or her to the hospital. Then after rehabilitation care at a convalescent home, the doctor may recommend a care regimen designed to help the older adult get the best out of life and live as healthy as possible in the future.

Elder fall is likely to result in severe complications because seniors are already far well into the aging process, and their bones aren’t as strong as when they were in their youthful vigor. Hence, if your aged parent experiences a fall and is taken to the hospital, then you may consider Louisiana assisted living to help provide them the necessary support where they will enjoy socializing with other seniors and will be less likely to fall.

In the absence of any previous planning, what can you do in such an assisted living emergency?

At that critical moment, when you know your Louisianan elderly loved one will be discharged from the hospital in a few days, what should you do? Well, you could consider in-home care services until you find the perfect assisted living facility where they will enjoy aging in place. This can be an overwhelming situation for anyone. It is not just time-consuming but mentally derailing. Nevertheless, you are not without help.

  • Talk to a trusted and professional senior living advisor

Resist the temptation to go to the internet and begin an endless search for a fast solution. The assisted living search process can be time-consuming, but it is well worth to seek advice from any advisors and community members as possible. Confine in your social network to help you find the right assisted living facility for your loved one in the Bayou State.

Louisiana has many senior care and living options for the elderly. A functional imperative is to make a few calls to two of the highest-ranked assisted living facilities in the state. It’s better to choose communities that are near the family members.

  • Book a tour and make plans for transitioning your aged parent

Ensure that you book a tour with the assisted living facilities you held the best conversations with on the phone. Consider spending about two hours for each Lousiana assisted living facility tour so you can take your time at each facility and have time to visit two or three communities in a single day to help you quickly compare.

If either you or your aging loved one has an emergency, you shouldn’t panic. Rely on a trusted advisor to help you make a quick call to the top three assisted living facilities within the state. Book a tour, and you will be able to use the limited time efficiently.
