Peristyle Residences - Lakeview House is a small senior living home in New Orleans, Louisiana, with space for up to seven residents, so the place feels homelike and everyone gets personal attention, with a staff that's known for being caring and has plenty of experience-over thirty years in senior care, hospice, and healthcare. The community says it tries to help people age in place, offering plenty of care options like assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, companion care, and independent living, and they also offer home care services and caregiver support for those who need it, covering everything from bathing and dressing to daily medication, transfers, and help with eating or moving around. Residents can stay in private or shared rooms, each with bay windows, modern furniture, flowers, and deck access, and every room has cable TV and Wi-Fi, with air conditioning throughout the home, so you won't be uncomfortable in the summer, and every bathroom meets ADA standards for safety and accessibility. Groups here are always small, with four to five residents and two or three caregivers during the day, so you'll notice that folks get to know each other, sometimes sharing meals in the family-style dining area where nutritious, home-cooked meals get served, and the staff can make special diets like gluten-free, kosher, vegan, diabetic, low/no sodium, or sugar-free meals without fuss, even delivering meals to rooms if someone prefers.
For safety, the facility uses several medical alert systems like Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert, plus medication dispensers and technology extras such as internet and cell phones set up for seniors-including things like Jitterbug Phones-so family and friends can keep in touch. You'll find wheelchair-accessible ground floor units, outdoor gardens, walking paths, and lots of spots for relaxing indoors or out, so there's room to sit and chat, watch TV, play games, or join cooking and art classes, karaoke, or wine tasting, if you like that kind of thing. Housekeeping and laundry services come standard, along with regular visits from a doctor, scheduled activities, spiritual services, and a full-time beautician right on site. If you have a pet, they allow them, and families can stop by for tours to see the place and meet the staff, who all speak English and know how to handle different health needs, from high-acuity care to more mild support for independent seniors. The community's secure and has emergency alert systems, plus parking and transportation for doctor's appointments, and they take care to arrange every detail, from move-in help to making sure linen and bath items are always fresh. This is a place where the goal's to help residents keep their sense of self and independence, even as they get the extra help they need, and with all the daily life stuff taken care of, there's more time for activities-movie nights, devotional talks, outings, and more. The place scores 3.8 out of 5 from people who've reviewed it, so folks seem to feel positive about the experience, and people here don't get lost in the shuffle or left alone, since the focus remains on companionship, a steady routine, and helping everyone feel like they're at home.
