What care is Ville Ste. Marie Senior Living Community licensed to give?
As a Level 3 ARCP, Ville Ste. Marie Senior Living Community provides assisted living in apartments, with help with bathing, dressing, medications and meals; nursing itself has to come from an outside home health agency or hospice, because only Level 4 ARCPs may provide it.
Ask which home health agencies and hospices regularly serve residents here; the rule puts the ARCP in charge of coordinating them.
What if a resident of Ville Ste. Marie Senior Living Community develops dementia?
Louisiana's public data cannot answer that; an ARCP must disclose a dementia program to LDH, but the list is not published, so the written program policies Ville Ste. Marie Senior Living Community must keep on hand are the document to request.
Every ARCP's direct care staff must have at least two hours of dementia training within 90 days of hire and each year, but a specialized program requires eight. ARCPs nearby whose licensed names reference memory care include Laketown Village, Residential Care & Memory Care (7.2 mi), Anderson Memory Care LLC (30.1 mi).
How can I see Ville Ste. Marie Senior Living Community's inspection results?
LDH does not publish ARCP inspection findings in a downloadable list, but Ville Ste. Marie Senior Living Community must keep its latest statement of deficiencies posted on site, and the public can request it from the Health Standards Section.
Re-licensing surveys and complaint investigations are unannounced. If a plan of correction was required, ask to see it next to the deficiencies, and ask what changed. To report a concern, the Health Standards Section's complaint line is 1-888-810-1819.
What is Ville Ste. Marie Senior Living Community's hurricane plan?
Every Louisiana ARCP must keep a written emergency plan covering evacuation and sheltering in place, a list of what any generator powers, and identification for each resident, and must give each resident a copy of its evacuation procedures; ask Ville Ste. Marie Senior Living Community for that copy before move-in.
Jefferson Parish straddles the river, with the East Bank behind the lakefront levees and the West Bank closer to the coastal marsh, so evacuation calls can differ between the two banks. Ask whether the building has a generator and what it runs (air conditioning matters in a Louisiana September), and get the disaster fee formula the rule requires in writing.

What should we ask on a tour of Ville Ste. Marie Senior Living Community?
Use the licensing rules to steer the tour: ask to read the posted statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction that answered it.
- Ask which home health agencies come in for residents who need skilled nursing, since a Level 3 ARCP cannot provide it.
- Ask whether medications are given by staff (licensed nurses or certified medication attendants) or only self-administered with help, and what that costs.
- Ask what would make the building end a residency, and note that Louisiana gives residents 30 days to appeal an involuntary discharge.
- Ask how often rates have risen in the last few years; Louisiana requires 30 days' written notice of any change.
- Ask to meet the administrator on the license, DeAnna Sanford, and who is in charge overnight.
