St. Margret’s Family of Care
Currently known by several name locations, St. Margaret’s embodies the mission of its Catholic founders: to inspire, serve, and nurture the body, mind, and spirit of its community’s elders. St. Margaret’s strength lies with its staff, who treats each resident with dignity, privacy, and the utmost care. Staff see each resident as a part of their own family. Known as one of the oldest senior care providers in New Orleans, St. Margaret’s, a trusted community of exceptional caregivers, plans to rebrand to St. Margret’s Family of Care, this April, and continue its long-standing legacy. While the name of several of its facilities and services are changing, families can expect the same devotion and dependability from the same, familial staff. St. Margaret’s Family of Care facilities will still be a place families can trust their loved ones to feel treasured and supported through personalized healthcare.

Poydras Home
Opening next month, Poydras Home Reimagined is Louisiana’s first Green House® Project community—this revolutionary care approach is focused on the fundamental principle that each resident is the central decision maker in their daily life. Poydras Home constructed two new buildings of five Nursing Care homes and one Assisted Living Memory Care home. The Green House model groups a smaller number of residents sharing each house led by dedicated Care Partners specially trained to make each day personally meaningful. Homes feature open floor plans and access to Poydras Home’s ample green spaces. Poydras Home’s Historic House will be transformed next into a Center for Healthy Living to benefit all residents with yoga, a therapy gym, a library, meditative space and more. Poydras Home worked with Eskew Dumez Ripple architects to ensure the structural changes were adaptive while still rooted in aesthetic traditions.
