Fidelis Residential Care Homes sits over on White Road in Denham Springs, offering licensed Adult Residential Care for seniors who need help with daily life. The place is run by three registered nurses, so there's plenty of clinical know-how and experience behind their care, and the house has a small, home-like feel that helps folks relax. They take care of people needing assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, and board and care, offering support to folks with memory loss or those who might have trouble moving around. There's always someone trained and screened watching over things, with 24-hour supervision, and the place gets checked by local agencies like the Department of Aging to make sure everything's right.
The house doesn't have a lot of residents in there at one time, so caregivers get to know each person pretty well, learning what they like and what they need, and families are kept in the loop about care. Staff help with bathing, dressing, and getting around, and they'll handle medication and keep track of health, with a nurse on staff part-time for extra oversight when needed. Meals are cooked right there, and they pay attention to special diets and preferences, so you'll get three home-style meals and snacks each day. The rooms can be private or semi-private, set up with things like beds, lamps, and dressers, and housekeeping and laundry are all part of staying there, too.
Residents find areas to sit and chat, and there's a garden and walking paths, so it's easy to get a bit of fresh air or spend time outside. Folks can join activities, movie nights, and outings, all set up to help people stay active and connected. Emergency alert systems are in place for safety and there are arrangements for transportation when appointments or errands come up. There's respite care if families need a break, and everyone gets the sort of personal attention that really helps in a smaller place. Families often talk about the peace of mind they feel, knowing their loved ones are in a supportive setting. Fidelis calls their homes "the caring alternative to nursing homes and the intimate alternative to assisted living," with a focus on treating everyone with dignity and helping them keep as much independence as possible.
