St Anthony Community Care Center

St Anthony Community Care Center sits over on 3421 N. Causeway Blvd., Suite 203, in Metairie, and it's a nonprofit place that belongs to the CommCare network, and you'll find it's all on one floor so there aren't any stairs to worry about, and the place takes Medicaid and gets recognized for meeting quality standards, including the 2025 Bronze National Quality Award from the American Healthcare Association. Folks here find a warm, cozy setting where the staff work hard on high-quality care, whether someone needs short-term rehab after a hospital stay or is settling in for longer assistance. The center runs a skilled nursing community with 24-hour nursing care, assisted living and independent living choices, and strong memory care programs for folks living with dementia or Alzheimer's. Services include palliative and hospice care, memory care, transitional "rehab to home" programs, and full therapy options with physical, occupational, and speech therapists-plus a fully equipped rehabilitation gym to help people get stronger and, hopefully, support their return home if that's the plan. They handle specialized nutrition and can help with wellness and preventive care, too, and if a family needs a break while caring for a loved one, respite services are offered. A dedicated team that includes administrators, directors, and medical professionals-physicians, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, nurses, and more-oversees each resident's care plan based on what that person needs, with social workers and interpreters (including ASL and Foreign Language Interpreters on request) helping too. Social activities and daily programs keep everyone engaged, whether folks are relaxing in the inner courtyard, taking outings, spending time in the library or café, or joining events in the recreation spaces or the salon for a haircut. The surrounding community-including volunteers, families, and Chamber of Commerce partners-often gets involved to help make sure there's a welcoming, connected, and close-knit feel, and residents can join all kinds of wellness and learning classes, fitness sessions, and special interest groups. St Anthony Community Care Center has a true community approach, supporting body, mind, and spirit by giving people a place that's safe and social, with daily attention to health and quality of life.
