Golden Arms

Golden Arms sits at 1481 3rd St in Lake Charles, LA, and provides retirement and assisted living services for seniors, and the place works with the Housing Authority of City of Lake Charles and others like the Housing Authority of City of Sulphur and the Southwest Acadia Consolidated Housing Authority, so seniors can find affordable housing and support services here, and this ties into the focus on community development and access to care, because Golden Arms operates as a residential care home offering both independent and assisted living options. The facility has specialized services, so if someone needs memory care or rehabilitation, or skilled nursing care, or even short-term respite care because a regular caregiver needs a break, there are programs in place for that, and elderly residents can get help with things like dressing, bathing, meals, medication, and other daily needs, while still having the chance to keep some independence. There are large bedrooms and spacious living rooms, along with laundry and housekeeping services, and the meal program serves one or two prepared meals each day to all residents; no pets are allowed at Golden Arms. Residents have places to socialize and make friends, and amenities include outdoor living spaces and landscape features that help with relaxation and enjoyment, and folks can easily step outside to one of four parks nearby or chat with friends at seven cafes not far away. The community is close to medical offices, with 32 physicians, eight pharmacies, and seven hospitals nearby in case of emergency or regular appointments, plus transportation options and 34 restaurants in the area for anyone who likes to explore, and there's also nearby worship centers if faith is important in daily life. Golden Arms only operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and closes on weekends, so most of the services and staff are available during regular hours, and residents who need board and care, memory care, or independent living can find something that fits since the home supports a mix of needs, including non-medical companionship, help with personal care, and maintaining a sense of community for people as they get older.
