Tranquil Living sits over on Leo Street in Marrero as a small assisted living home with just 10 beds, so you won't find yourself lost in a crowd, and the staff does keep watch around the clock, helping with everything from bathing and dressing to medication management and regular reminders for grooming or toileting, so folks who need a little more hands-on support or even help with transfers, including mechanical lifts, seem to get what they need without leaving the place they've made their home. The team at Tranquil Living speaks English and works hard to learn the personal habits and needs of each person, especially for those folks dealing with dementia or Alzheimer's-there are behavioral and memory care services if someone's acting out or prone to wandering, and the staff puts safety first with emergency alert systems, wheelchair access throughout, and smooth walk-in paths to get where you want to go. Rooms come furnished if you want, with phone lines in each one, and the bathrooms offer both showers and full tubs so you can stay comfortable, whether you have limited mobility or just want an easier time. Community life here includes garden areas, indoor and outdoor common rooms, movie nights, and a busy calendar of social activities that try to keep everyone engaged-there are even programs that help with daily life and activities made for folks with memory problems to stay active.
Meals get cooked up according to special diets, from diabetic-friendly plates to kosher and vegetarian choices, and the kitchen pays attention to allergies too; everybody comes together for scheduled meals in the dining room, and if someone needs help eating or keeping up with nutrition changes, that's available. Housekeeping and laundry, even dry cleaning, are taken care of, so families and residents don't have to worry about chores piling up, and move-in is coordinated to help get folks settled quickly. Transportation and parking are there if you want to get out or have friends visit. For those who only need care for a short time, say after surgery or an injury, respite care covers stay options for a few days, weeks, or a bit longer, and hospice services are on call when needed, so people can age in place without being uprooted. Rooms come as studios or semi-privates, with average pricing at $4,000 and $3,500 per month, and there are enough options in suite layouts to make each space personal and comfortable. The staff values respect and makes a point of building trust so each resident feels at ease, and there's an ongoing mission to support self-worth and independence while making sure everyone's safe and well cared for, which might explain why families rate this place so highly, as they say the care stands out for attention and real support, not just for the seniors but for their sense of belonging as well.
