Old Metairie Gardens offers assisted living supported by a secured campus designed for residents who may need ongoing oversight. In addition to long-term residency, the community accepts respite or short-term stays, provides diabetes monitoring, and gives residents access to an on-site physician and speech therapy services. These resources let families step away temporarily or transition a loved one into care knowing medical supervision will be available throughout the day.

Further clinical support includes in-house memory care services, incontinence and ambulatory care, hospice coordination, medication management, and regular visits from nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, optometrists, and podiatrists. Living areas and activity spaces are laid out specifically to accommodate memory loss, and the property functions as a memory-care-only environment, helping minimize confusion and encourage safe movement. The secured setting and trained staff aim to reduce wandering risks while still letting residents maintain as much independence as possible.

Residences are offered in several layouts, and each is climate-controlled with the option for cable or satellite TV and high-speed Wi-Fi. Select units include wheelchair-accessible or roll-in showers and additional handicap-accessible design elements. Outdoor areas and resident parking are available, but specific features vary by accommodation, so families should confirm the details of any particular suite during a tour.

Meals are prepared by a professional culinary team that can accommodate kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, organic, no-sugar, or low-sodium preferences. An all-day dining model offers flexibility, and international dishes appear alongside familiar comfort foods. Guests may join residents for meals, and the kitchen staff monitors nutritional needs to support diabetes management and other dietary requirements.

Residents have access to a library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, a swimming pool, fitness and yoga sessions, karaoke, live music, social outings, intergenerational events, Montessori and reminiscence programs, clubs, birthday celebrations, and an activity center that hosts a range of programs year-round.
