Azalea Estates of Shreveport, found near Camp Forbing Town Center in the South Shreveport and Ellerbe Road area, is a one-story senior living community spread across more than five acres of landscaped grounds with blooming gardens and walking paths, which makes it easy for seniors to get outside and enjoy some fresh air or stretch their legs, and they welcome pets, though they don't allow small dogs. The facility offers both independent and assisted living, so residents can choose the level of care and support they need, whether that's help with bathing, dressing, or medication, or more independent, hassle-free living. There's a staff and a dedicated 24-hour resident care team, including a part-time nurse on staff and a nurse available 24 hours, who help with daily activities while making sure each person's needs are met with respect and dignity, and personalized care plans get put in place for each resident. People can pick from different suite sizes-studio, one bedroom, or deluxe-with private or friendship suite options, all including full kitchens, individual heating and air conditioning controls, and all utilities, with basic cable included.
Meals are served in a restaurant-style dining room, and nutritious snacks and alternative menu choices are always available, so those with dietary preferences can still eat well. Regular activities and events, like Brunch & Bingo, along with religious services, take place in common spaces and activity rooms that encourage residents to socialize, relax, or learn something new, and there's a library and computer room, a beauty and barbershop, fitness and wellness programs including scheduled exercise classes, an aquatic spa like a hot tub, and an on-site salon. Residents don't have to worry about chores thanks to weekly housekeeping, laundry, and linen service, and the staff can help with homemaker activities and personal care.
Transportation gets taken care of with courtesy rides for shopping trips, errands, and doctors' visits, plus there's scheduled transportation for cultural events and a handicapped-accessible van for those who need it, with parking options and guest parking available for friends and family who visit, and overnight guests can be hosted, too. The grounds and buildings are all one level to make getting around easier for those with mobility concerns, and 24-hour emergency response systems with call pendants are in place for extra peace of mind.
Azalea Estates also offers memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, focused on safety and routine, so residents feel less confusion and are less likely to wander off, and there are legal services and an ombudsman for resident rights, as well as caregiver respite programs for families. With award recognition for friendliness, support, and activity options, this licensed Level 3 Adult Residential Care Provider tries to meet the needs of active seniors and those needing daily support, without long-term lease commitments-everything runs on month-to-month arrangements. Basic services like meals on wheels, congregate meals, and supportive services are also available, and the facility keeps a resource directory, glossary of acronyms, and glossary of terms for easy reference, and accepts check and credit card payments. The space stays clean and well-kept, and the staff are known for being kind, joyful, and helpful, making Azalea Estates a straightforward choice for seniors wanting clean, supportive, and safe living a little closer to the heart of Shreveport.
