LSU’s School of Nursing is an expert in training future nurses. They focus on equipping student nurses with scientific, evidence-based, and ethical knowledge solidified by practical experience in clinical settings.
Alongside teaching, LSU’s nursing program is committed to developing culturally diverse and inclusive research to improve knowledge constantly. The nursing school aims to provide a respectful, professional, and innovative environment for team members, students, and patients.
Partnering with LSU is hugely positive for our community, residents, and the nursing students we host. The nursing students providing care at our assisted living and memory care communities in Metairie can develop their skills with the support of our experienced nurses and caregiving team, and we can play a part in shaping the excellent healthcare specialists of the future.
As a residential assisted living and memory care home owned and operated by a family touched personally by Alzheimer’s disease, we’re genuinely passionate about providing quality memory care for seniors. Experiencing the complexities of dementia care firsthand can help student nurses develop the specialized skills needed to work in this unique area of healthcare.
Our mission is to provide a safe and loving environment where individuals with dementia can enjoy our communities with the nursing care they deserve from LSU Health. We partnered with LSU because their core values align with ours, including care, professionalism, respect, integrity, and excellence.
LSU’s philosophy emphasizes the importance of a dynamic approach to health that empowers patients, families, and communities. This philosophy perfectly complements our firm belief that excellent dementia care should benefit residents and the family unit.
Our residential assisted living and memory care homes in Metairie offer holistic care for residents, and delivering such all-around care demands a wide and varied skill set. Therefore, placement in a dementia care home allows student nurses to develop transferable skills relevant to many healthcare and nursing roles. Both student nurses and residents benefit from our partnership with the LSU Health School of Nursing.
With our support, students can draw upon their studies to deliver excellent personalized care and communication while assisting with essential nursing duties. The passionate student nurses we partner with support individuals with daily living activities, helping residents socialize and get the most from enriching activities and hobbies.
We always boast an excellent team member-to-resident ratio, but the support of student nurses allows residents to benefit from the most one-on-one care possible. This partnership also provides a way for student nurses to practically apply their teachings in a real-world environment, ensuring future generations of residents receive quality care.
Our main priority will always be the residents living in our communities, and our mentorship of nursing students is beneficial for everyone involved. Above all, we’re proud to partner with a reputable nursing school with a mission that closely reflects our own, and we are truly thankful for the excellent student nurses we work with.
We’re thrilled to be partnered with an organization that shares our passion for quality nursing care and to play a part in shaping the world-class nurses of tomorrow.
