What type of adult residential care provider is Shekinah Glory?
LDH records Shekinah Glory as Level 2 (shelter care home) with 20 licensed residents. Level 1 homes serve up to eight people and Level 2 homes nine to 16; Level 3 and 4 serve 17 or more in apartments, and only Level 4 may deliver nursing.
The level is fixed at licensing and LDH types it by hand on its directory, so confirm the level and capacity on the current license certificate posted in the building before signing anything.
Does Shekinah Glory have a dementia unit?
Louisiana's public records cannot tell you, because LDH keeps dementia program disclosures to itself; ask Shekinah Glory whether it runs a specialized dementia care program and, if so, for the written inclusion criteria the rule requires.
Memory loss by itself is not a bar to an ARCP, but the resident must be able to get out of the building with staff help in an emergency, and restraints are never allowed. Nearby ARCPs whose licensed names mention memory care: Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care (3.2 mi).
Where can I read Shekinah Glory's state inspection findings?
At the building: Louisiana requires Shekinah Glory to post any statement of deficiencies where residents and visitors can see it, and the statement becomes public 30 days after the provider gets it or after LDH accepts the plan of correction (LAC 48:I.6823).
LDH's renewal surveys and complaint visits are unannounced. Read the plan of correction next to each citation; it shows whether the fix changed training, staffing or policy. Concerns go to the Health Standards Section at 1-888-810-1819.
Does Shekinah Glory have an emergency evacuation plan?
It must have one in writing. Every Louisiana ARCP, Shekinah Glory included, needs an evacuation and shelter-in-place plan, a generator list, resident identification and a resident copy of the evacuation steps; ask for that copy before signing.
East Baton Rouge Parish is inland, so its storm risk is rain flooding along the Amite and Comite rivers and long power outages rather than surge; the August 2016 flood reached neighborhoods from Central to Southeast Baton Rouge. Ask whether the generator runs air conditioning as well as lights, how medications and records travel in an evacuation, and what extra charges the disaster-fee formula allows.
