A family-owned residential community serving South Baton Rouge's senior citizens for over 30 years!

Independent Living Community
Our single, charming, garden-home cottages allow you to visit with family and friends from the comfort of your own porch while adhering to the "social distancing" protocol resulting from Covid-19. It's a great way to stay in place, yet not feel isolated. We're truly unique in that respect!
Walking around our winding pathways situated on five acres of beautifully landscaped property will lift your spirits. Our delicious home-cooked meals may be delivered to you, or you may enjoy meeting friends in the dinning room where we have implemented the social distance protocol. It's your home, it's your choice and we're here to serve you. Our sparkling pool with its adjoining whirlpool spa are ready for your use and once we get clearance from the State, we will open our beauty salon and begin our activities while implementing social distancing rules. And, yes, we do accept your small furry friend. Call us for your tour today!
Active, maintenance-free living with social events, meals, and housekeeping — no care services required.
Help with daily activities (bathing, medication, dressing) while preserving as much independence as possible.
Be the first to share your experience at Southside Gardens.
