The only kind like it in Louisiana and a surrounding five state area, The Guardian House Alzheimer Care Facility is a unique 60 bed nursing facility that specializes in caring for residents diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another type of Dementia. Designed by nationally accredited gerontologists, The Guardian House Alzheimer Facility is a safe and secure environment that encourages our residents to socialize, participate in specially designed activities, wander freely, and participate actively in all Activities of Daily Living with Alzheimer and Dementia.
The Guardian House Alzheimer Facility consists of three separate and secured units and offers deluxe, private, and semi-private accommodations. Pre-admission assessments are conducted by our staff to identify the needs of each Guardian House resident and to determine which unit and Alzheimer’s or Dementia care services are appropriate for each resident.

In order to ensure proper placement of Alzheimer and Dementia, every resident of the Guardian House Alzheimer Facility is assessed prior to admission and at least semi-annually thereafter. As a resident of the Guardian House as needs change, his/her care plan changes accordingly. Care plans are individualized and address each resident’s unique nursing, dietary, and social programming needs. All departments at The Guardian House Alzheimer Facilities work together to ensure that a "holistic” approach is incorporated into every care plan for Alzheimer and Dementia.
