HomeLife in the Gardens, LLC sits at 1101 Aline Street on a 17-acre property, and you'll find plenty of space here because they have ponds, fountains, and gardens right in the courtyard, so it's nice to just walk or sit outside if you want. The gated parking keeps things secure, and you can bring your pet with you since they allow those too. The community is locally owned and operated, which means folks often know the staff and get that friendly, helpful feeling since most people have lived and worked here in New Orleans for years. While the main focus is on assisted living services, you'll also find options for independent living, memory care, respite care, skilled nursing, and even home care as part of their LifeCare setup, which lets people stay as their needs change.
The apartments have walk-in private baths, sit-down showers, safety grab bars, pull cords to call for help if you need it, a kitchenette with a sink and refrigerator, and you can control the heat and air in your space, so you can set it the way you want. Meals come three times a day with snacks in between, cooked up with attention to both taste and nutrition, and if you want something special or need to avoid certain foods, they'll help make that happen. Residents get weekly housekeeping and laundry support, and there's 24-hour security monitoring to keep everyone safe and at ease.
At HomeLife in the Gardens, the staff helps with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and keeping track of medication, and they have nurses on staff along with hospice care if it's needed. Folks with dementia or Alzheimer's receive care in a specially-designed section of the community, where things like reminders, a safe layout, and familiar routines help people feel comfortable and as independent as possible. You'll find scheduled group transportation and wheelchair transport for doctor visits or shopping, and there's group outings and daily activities, art studio time, religious services, and all sorts of social and wellness programs, including fitness routines that fit each person's abilities or doctor's recommendations.
For folks who enjoy staying connected or reading, there's high-speed internet, a library, a barbershop, and even a cocktail lounge along with private dining rooms and game tables where people meet up for cards or puzzles. Clean indoor common areas give people space to visit. Smoking isn't allowed anywhere indoors, and each person gets a private bedroom and a walk-in closet for their things. The whole campus is handicap accessible with ramps and wide halls, so moving about is easier. The facility's licensed as an Adult Residential Care - Level 3 in New Orleans, and they don't take Medicare, so payments work differently here. Community awards highlight what folks here value most-good activities, a spirit of friendliness, and reliable care. The atmosphere always feels welcoming, and support is aimed at keeping each person's dignity, independence, and personal choices intact. There's a gallery feature online if family wants to see what it looks like before visiting, and the community accepts adults over a certain age based on its guidelines.
