Southeast Louisiana War Veterans Home operates as a skilled nursing facility that accepts residents who need either short-term rehabilitation or long-term custodial care. Licensed nursing staff are on duty around the clock to manage medications, monitor vital signs, and coordinate physician-ordered therapies. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy programs are available on-site, and care plans are updated regularly to track progress or adjust to changing medical conditions.

Beyond routine nursing services, the facility offers wound care management, IV therapy, and post-surgical recovery support when prescribed. A consulting medical director and visiting specialists help address complex health issues, while an in-house pharmacy service streamlines medication dispensing. Emergency response protocols are in place, and transportation is arranged for outside medical appointments when a service cannot be provided on campus.

Resident rooms are available in both private and semi-private layouts. Standard features include an adjustable bed, emergency call system, basic cable, and individual climate controls, though not every room contains all of these elements. Housekeeping and laundry services are provided, and common areas such as lounges and activity rooms give residents additional space to socialize. The building is single-level and wheelchair accessible, with handrails in corridors to support mobility.

Meals are prepared daily in a central kitchen and served in a communal dining hall with set meal times, though room-tray service can be arranged for residents who are ill or have limited mobility. Menus are developed with input from a registered dietitian to meet therapeutic diet requirements such as low-sodium or carbohydrate-controlled plans. Snacks are offered between meals, and hydration stations are placed in common areas. Not every dining option is available to every resident, so individual needs are discussed during admission and care plan reviews.
