Touro Woldenberg Village sits on 17 acres in New Orleans, offering a peaceful setting with plenty of green spaces, including a big pond, gardens, and quiet patios where residents can relax, watch birds, or talk with friends, and the grounds are all gated and have good landscaping that people can notice as soon as they walk in, with tall trees, and a parklike courtyard that feels open and safe. The community has independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all on one campus, so people can move from one type of care to another without leaving the place they know, with special areas like The Villas for independent living, The Azaleas for assisted living, Willowwood for skilled nursing and rehabilitation, and The Evergreens, which is a memory care wing that helps residents with Alzheimer's and dementia with more secure spaces including a locked garden they can enjoy safely.
The buildings all have either one or two-bedroom apartments, some studios, and some single rooms, with kitchens or kitchenettes, smoke alarms, sprinkler systems, and storage spaces, and folks in independent and assisted living can bring select pets in certain areas, especially in the garden apartment homes. Residents get services including housekeeping, in-house laundry (plus dry cleaning), on-site barber and beauty shops, and regular dining with options for guests and a private dining room for gatherings, which is handy when family comes to visit. Staff provides 24-hour emergency response, medication monitoring, and help with daily living when needed, and transportation is available for outings, shopping, and visits to restaurants or museums, since the community schedules group rides and organizes regular offsite activities.
The campus also has several accessible recreation rooms, a community center, and an auditorium at The Villas where people gather for games, movies, concerts, and other cultural events, so there's almost always something to do, and the staff makes sure to keep people active with activities that fit their interests and abilities, from religious services every week-Christian, Protestant, Catholic, and Shabbat-to outings and health programs. The nursing part of the community, Willowwood, brings long-term care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, and also offers outpatient rehabilitation if someone needs help recovering their strength after an illness, with a regular team of nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists working together on each person's needs, using personal care plans.
Touro Woldenberg Village is linked to Touro Infirmary and it follows the Touro Healthcare system standards, which means the healthcare and therapy services on campus reach beyond basic care-they help people with things like diabetes management, cancer care, orthopedic and stroke rehabilitation, and there are always experienced physicians, nurses, and therapists nearby to help. The services include support for LGBTQ+ seniors through NOAGE, and the whole place is set up with ramps and other safe features to help people get around whether they're using a walker or a wheelchair. Reviews for the community are average, with a 3.3 rating out of 10 reviews, and the place is recognized as a nursing home.
Touro Woldenberg Village tries to make the day-to-day comfortable, with support for changing health, accommodations that fit different needs, and a routine that helps seniors keep their independence as long as possible, and people can choose how much support they want. The staff knows folks want to keep their routines, see their families, eat good meals, feel safe, and have something to look forward to, which is the kind of steady comfort this community seems to focus on.
