Azalea Estates of New Iberia provides three levels of residential care. Assisted Living is designed for residents who need help with activities of daily living while retaining as much independence as possible. Independent Living is available for those who require minimal support but appreciate access to on-site services and a secure environment. Memory Care offers structured routines and additional supervision tailored to individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, using staff training and environmental cues to reduce confusion and promote safety.
Additional clinical support strengthens these living options. Licensed nurses are on site to monitor health conditions, manage medications, and coordinate with physicians. Short-term respite stays are accepted, which benefits families needing temporary coverage, and the staff is equipped to manage diabetes through blood-glucose monitoring and diet oversight. Incontinence care, assistance with mobility, and routine visits from a podiatrist are part of the service package, giving residents access to both daily and specialized medical attention without leaving the community.
Resident apartments and suites vary in layout and features, but most include central air conditioning and private bathrooms; many are equipped with wheelchair-accessible showers. Select units are pet friendly, and several open directly to landscaped outdoor areas or gardens. On-site parking and level walking paths make it easier for residents and visitors to move around the campus, though not every accommodation incorporates every listed feature.
Dining is handled by a professional culinary team that serves three daily meals with snacks available. Standard menus are supplemented with kosher and vegetarian selections, and staff monitor nutritional intake for residents with physician-ordered diets, including carbohydrate-controlled plans for diabetes management. Meals are served in a common dining room to encourage social interaction, yet tray service to the apartment can be arranged when a resident is ill or prefers privacy.
Daily life is supported by an activity center, a library and computer lounge for reading or internet access, and scheduled health and wellness programs that cover light exercise, balance training, and educational talks. Residents are encouraged to spend time outdoors on maintained walking paths, and supervised outdoor breaks are part of the regular programming for those who need assistance getting outside.
