Baton Rouge Senior AdvisorWho is Baton Rouge Senior Advisor?
Baton Rouge Senior Advisor is a free senior care referral and advisory service for families in Baton Rouge and the nine surrounding parishes, built on the Louisiana Department of Health's licensing records rather than on what facilities say about themselves.
We publish the rules, the costs and the full licensed roster because a family that understands Louisiana's four ARCP levels and Medicaid's limits asks better questions on a tour. The service itself is a conversation with an advisor who listens to what your parent needs and suggests licensed places worth visiting.
Who pays Baton Rouge Senior Advisor, and why should you care?
Communities that work with referral services pay us after a family we introduced moves in; families never pay us anything.
Every referral business is tempted to favor the communities that pay it, and we would rather name that than hide it. The directory lists every active license in the ten parishes whether or not the provider has ever paid anyone, and an advisor will discuss any of them. If a recommendation does not come with reasons you can check on the state record, ask for them.
What does the directory include, and what does it leave out?
It includes every licensed adult residential care provider, nursing home, home health agency, hospice and adult day health care center on LDH's roster for the ten parishes, with the state's license dates, levels and capacities, plus CMS ratings for certified nursing homes.
It leaves out online reviews, scores of our own making, aggregator listings and advertising. When families ask for a number nobody publishes, such as a Baton Rouge-only price or a memory care median, the page says so rather than guessing.
How can families or providers reach Baton Rouge Senior Advisor?
Call (985) 999-4581, email advisors@batonrougesenioradvisor.com, or answer the short care-match questions on any page and an advisor will follow up; providers who notice a display error in their state data can write to the same address.
In an emergency, call 911. To report possible abuse, neglect or exploitation of someone 60 or older in Louisiana, call Elderly Protective Services at 1-833-577-6532.
Which part of Louisiana does Baton Rouge Senior Advisor serve?
The ten parishes of the Baton Rouge metropolitan area: East Baton Rouge, Ascension, Livingston, West Baton Rouge, Iberville, Pointe Coupee, West Feliciana, East Feliciana, Assumption and St. Helena.
Nearby parishes such as Tangipahoa, St. James and Lafourche fall outside the directory, though an advisor can still talk through options there.
