Senior Residences of Central is a single-story, gated apartment community at 10816 Live Oak Grove Dr in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, built for seniors aged 62 and older who want independence and help when needed, and with 80 one- and two-bedroom units-some duplex-style-that are spacious and include washers, dryers, and microwaves, plus attached single-car garages for each residence, and no mention of parking outside or any outdoor common areas. The community is affordable and has no pets allowed, which is something to know before moving. You'll find emergency alert systems throughout the building and a 24-hour call system, which means someone can help if a resident needs assistance at any hour. There's help for bathing, dressing, medication management, and transfers for those who need it, along with non-ambulatory care for residents who don't get around easily. The facility keeps things safe and comfortable with supervision night and day, housekeeping, laundry and dry-cleaning services, and move-in coordination when folks are new here.
There are dining services with a big community dining room, meals for people with allergies or diabetes, and all-day dining, plus weekday lunches if you want to eat with others. Activity spaces include a community library, a community room, and an arts room for creative fun. There's a salon/barber for hair and grooming. You'll find a lap pool, and there are fitness and recreation programs, along with monthly activities, games, social meals, and organized day trips for those wanting to keep busy and meet others. A van transportation service helps folks get to appointments and outings, and the facility is near trusted healthcare clinics and basic shops, so residents can get what they need or see a doctor easily. No one has to worry about doing chores thanks to the staff. The community has furnished rooms for those who need them, and activities for both independent living and those who need assisted living, with support for getting involved and being social.
Senior Residences of Central was built in 2009 and covers about 72,840 square feet, so there's plenty of space to move around. Operations run from 8:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the evening Monday through Friday. Legal protections are in place for LGBTQ persons and people worried about income discrimination, which can make moving in a little less stressful. Management and owners are listed in official records, so anyone who needs that information can find it. There's no mention of pets, parking lots, outdoor features, or direct healthcare services beyond the in-house care, which is something to consider. All things considered, Senior Residences of Central provides a safe and practical choice for older adults who want to downsize but keep active in their later years, and who prefer a simple space with support close by.
