Turner Plaza Senior Citizens sits at 4546 North St. in Baton Rouge and offers a range of living choices for people aged 60 and older, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and has something called a LifeCare program for those who want a mix of support as they age, and it's run as part of the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging, which means the community gets to enjoy different senior services and activities through places like The Lotus Center and the Turner Plaza Apartments Congregate Center. Residents stay in private or semi-private suites or rooms, and everyone gets safety features like emergency call systems and individual climate controls, while private showers or whirlpool spas add a bit of comfort, and nearby specialist doctors and an individual emergency response system add peace of mind.
Turner Plaza keeps people active with bocce ball courts, billiards, a game room, putting green, outdoor pools, walking trails, an art studio, an auditorium for big gatherings, and an enclosed garden where residents can walk and relax, and these activities help promote social, physical, and mental well-being. Folks can also use the community center, wellness center, library, and chapel if they want a quiet moment or a good book. The programs here cover educational classes, creative arts, gardening, religious services, and well-organized wellness programs, plus there's nutritious meals in the dining areas where friends and family are welcome to join, and there's a schedule of trips and transportation too.
The staff at Turner Plaza are trained, friendly, and known for being kind and helpful, and they help with daily living like bathing and dressing for those who need it, along with offering home care, hospice, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or other memory problems. Residents can choose affordable senior apartments with added safety and accessibility, and these homes provide a worry-free place for those who want a bit of help or just a friendly community. Residents enjoy structured programs and special events, and there are also unique services like Family Self-Sufficiency and Homeownership initiatives, along with housing help from Housing Choice Vouchers and extra resident resources, and during tough times like Covid-19, Turner Plaza gets involved with community support and storytelling projects to keep everyone connected.
