Monroe Independent Living

Monroe is a fun city to call home. Assisted living facilities allow you to do just that. You have the freedom to roam around town and yet have the care that you may need. The staff of an assisted living facility will be glad to help you with bathing, meal preparation, dressing or whatever you need. With an assisted living facility, gone are the days of worrying about falling and no one being there. Gone are the cares of having to take care of your home. It really is the best of both worlds. The average cost of an assisted living facility is $1750, among the lowest in the nation.

Monroe, Louisiana, is home to five hospitals. The heirs of residents of Louisiana are required to pay an inheritance tax, although the law is very complicated.

Many of our residents enjoy visiting the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo. In fact, many residents of Monroe assisted living facilities feel a renewed sense of purpose by collecting supplies for the zoo. Residents who are more able body often enjoy gardening at the zoo or helping to take care of the animals.
Other residents enjoy visiting Layton Castle, which may be haunted by ghosts. Still others enjoy visiting the Biedenham Museum and Gardens. At this museum visitors can see an English garden, rare old Bibles and lots of Coke memorabilia, including the opportunity to get a Coke for a nickel from the antique vending machine. Monroe is certainly a city with a lot to do.

Others enjoy going to the casinos with their friends. Many residents enjoy playing video Bingo at Jack Pot Video Bingo. Others enjoy gathering with their friends for a great meal, particularly when Catfish Cabin is so close. Others enjoy eating Cajun and Creole food at Copeland’s. Still others make a pig of themselves while eating pulled pork sandwiches and crawfish in the beautiful outdoor setting at Cormier’s Cajun Catering and Restaurant. Monroe has so many wonderful restaurants it would be impossible to name them all.
Bowling is a huge favorite with many of the residents of Monroe assisted living facilities. One of the best places in town to bowl is Bayou Bowl. Others enjoy fishing at Ouachita Wildlife Management Area. Monroe certainly has something to please everyone’s tastes and interests.
