The Laurel Senior Living sits in Uptown New Orleans and offers a mix of care options including independent living, assisted living, and a strong memory care program. The community stands out for having the city's only All-Female Memory Care, giving women with memory needs a safe and focused environment. The facilities are known for being clean and comfortable, with well-kept rooms, a three-story sunlit atrium, lush gardens, fountains, and even living walls, which make daily life brighter and calm. Residents find spaces like the first-floor atrium, courtyards, and sensory dens restful. There are attractive features like the beauty salon, therapy rooms, and pet-friendly policies, plus Wi-Fi and high-speed internet throughout. Residents get help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and taking the right medicine, and licensed nurses and security staff are on duty 24/7 to support everyone. The home also has backup generators, so outages don't interrupt everyday routines.
The Laurel Senior Living provides transportation for doctor visits, errands, and outings, which helps residents stay connected with the area. There's a full schedule of activities, from exercise classes and local cultural trips to live entertainment, guided by a full-time Activities Director. Independent living options let active seniors enjoy a social and hassle-free lifestyle, while the memory care program supports people with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia in a secured setting built to reduce confusion and wandering. For women, the dedicated memory care wing gives support in a comfortable and nurturing place, making it the first of its kind in the area, with Kelly Martin serving as Executive Director and The Laurel Team focusing on daily operations.
Meals are made with good ingredients and focus on both taste and nutrition, with special wellness plans crafted for each person living there. Laundry, housekeeping, and home care for those who live at home are available, including visits from trained aides who offer non-medical care and company. The building is easy to get around, with handicap access for everyone, and residents have choices about their rooms, routines, and daily plans. A gallery of photos shows what life at The Laurel looks like, and there's a services overview for more information about everything on offer. The main goal is to give every resident a safe, warm, and engaging place to live, with support for all kinds of needs as people age.
