ASSISTED LIVING AT CHRISTWOOD | COVINGTON, LA

Supporting independence. Empowering autonomy.

There may come a time when you or a loved one need extra help with daily living. Assisted living at Christwood provides the help you need while promoting a sense of independence and well-being. Staff members will work with you, your family, and physicians to develop a personalized care plan that meets your needs and preferences. Whether it’s help with dressing, bathing, medication management, or mobility assistance, our team is ready to help whenever needed.

In addition to daily care and assistance, delicious meals are served family style in the Honeysuckle Dining Room. More than just great food, dining offers opportunities to catch up with neighbors and strengthen connections. When you’re not enjoying meals or relaxing in your private apartment, you can participate in fitness classes and a variety of life-enriching activities, as well as community-wide programs and events.

“I have been living in Assisted Living for a few years and it’s a great place to be. We have great activities and our activity coordinator, Heather, does a great job. The staff is kind and very helpful.”

— Alice L., Resident

Frequently Asked Questions

When is assisted living needed?

If you’re struggling with basic daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, or preparing meals, it may be time for a change. If climbing stairs or stepping into the bathtub is difficult, you may be risking injury from a fall. And if you’re feeling isolated — perhaps you can no longer drive safely — assisted living can provide daily opportunities for connection and friendship. Finally, if you’re caring for a parent or loved one and you can no longer provide the care they need, contact us to learn how we can help.

What’s the difference between assisted living and memory care?

Assisted living is designed for older adults who need help with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. In addition, assisted living offers activities that support whole-person health while promoting a sense of independence and autonomy.

Memory care offers a more structured and secure environment for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. Staff members receive specialized training, care plans are more personalized, and activities are planned to accommodate the challenges of memory loss.

Does Christwood accept direct admission to assisted living?

Yes. While Christwood residents have priority access to all levels of health care on our campus, new residents are admitted on a space-available basis. Learn more about direct admission.

What if my loved one needs more care than is provided in assisted living?

Christwood offers a full continuum of care on-site, including assisted living, memory care, acute and long-term skilled nursing, and rehabilitation. If your loved one requires more care than is provided in assisted living, they can transition to the appropriate level of care for their needs.
