Westbank Lighthouse sits at 1712 Holiday Drive in New Orleans and has been serving seniors since 2012 as a small state-licensed Adult Residential Care - Level 2 home, and the place is owned and run by two registered nurses who make sure care always comes first, with specialized care programs for assisted living, Alzheimer's care, and more types of help that suit people who need non-acute long-term care. The building's fully handicap accessible and has just ten assisted living units, including one-bedroom suites, private suites, small fully furnished studios with kitchenettes, private bathrooms that are large and handicap-accessible, and a few shared rooms for those who want options, and the rooms come with cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, telephone services, and in-room emergency systems for peace of mind at any time of the day or night.
The staff offers tailored care plans and give help with everyday needs such as bathing, dressing, transfers, incontinence support, and medication help, with 24-hour supervision and standby help always close by, and they coordinate health care with outside providers when needed, handling medication management, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and routine health checks, while residents can also use physical therapy and massage therapy right on site, and home health care services are available too. They serve three well-balanced daily meals, covering special diets like vegan, gluten-free, low or no sugar, low/no sodium, organic, and meals that account for allergies or diabetes, with scheduled all-day dining or even room service, so people who need help with eating can get it.
Residents have a range of living setups to choose from depending on the level of care and privacy they want, and each one comes with housekeeping, laundry service, maintenance-free living, so no one's got to worry about cooking, cleaning, or household chores anymore. The community has a bistro, a deck for relaxing days, a nice big sunroom, a wellness center, a library area, and outdoor walking paths and gardens, plus they provide extras such as transportation, resident parking, communal activities, fitness classes each day, movie nights, and social programs to keep everyone engaged.
All rooms have emergency alert systems, and the facility maintains 24/7 emergency response and security, making it a safe place for people who may have memory concerns or need regular oversight. The care is organized and flexible, accepting long-term care insurance and offering respite and short-term stays if families need a break or someone only needs help for a little while, and all care services are delivered by trained, screened providers including nurses, and the staff's always ready to respond throughout the day or night.
