New Orleans Senior AdvisorMetairie is the large unincorporated community in East Jefferson Parish between New Orleans and Kenner, bounded by Lake Pontchartrain and the river, with Veterans Memorial Boulevard, Causeway Boulevard and Airline Drive as its main corridors. Because it is unincorporated, the Census Bureau publishes no city estimate for it, but it is the most populous part of Jefferson Parish. East Jefferson General Hospital on Clearview Parkway is its hospital, and Ochsner Medical Center on Jefferson Highway is minutes away.
Metairie holds the largest share of licensed adult residential care in the region, from a long run of small Level 1 and Level 2 personal care and shelter care homes on residential streets to large Level 3 assisted living buildings. That range is useful, but it means families should compare level and capacity first, because an eight-bed home and a 100-apartment building are very different places.
