What can a Level 3 ARCP like Oak House Assisted Living do?
Oak House Assisted Living is a Level 3 ARCP, Louisiana's assisted living tier: apartments with kitchenettes for 17 or more residents, personal care, meals, medication help and activities, but no in-house nursing, which only Level 4 providers may deliver (LAC 48:I.6803, 6845).
That distinction matters after a hospital stay: wound care or therapy comes from a home health agency, and the ARCP coordinates it.
Can Oak House Assisted Living care for someone with dementia?
Nothing in LDH's roster shows a dementia program at Oak House Assisted Living. If it markets one, LAC 48:I.6851 requires written policies and inclusion criteria that the public may see, so ask for them on the tour.
Mild memory loss alone does not rule out an ARCP; a resident must still be able to evacuate with the help the ARCP provides, and no ARCP may use restraints. ARCPs nearby whose licensed names reference memory care include Laketown Village, Residential Care & Memory Care (11.5 mi), Anderson Memory Care LLC (29.8 mi).
Where are Oak House Assisted Living's state survey reports?
Louisiana does not put ARCP survey reports online in bulk, so the posted copy at Oak House Assisted Living is the fastest route; the rule requires any statement of deficiencies to be displayed where residents and visitors can read it.
A clean wall is not proof of a clean record, and a citation is not proof of a bad building; what matters is what was cited and how Oak House Assisted Living responded. If you see something on a visit that worries you, LDH's Health Standards Section takes complaints at 1-888-810-1819, and its investigations are unannounced.
What is Oak House Assisted Living'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 Oak House Assisted Living for that copy before move-in.
Orleans Parish sits largely below sea level inside the federal hurricane levee system, so a storm plan here is as much about pumps, power and street flooding as about wind. Ask where residents went in the last evacuation, how long the trip took, and what the residency agreement charges during a storm: Louisiana requires the disaster-fee formula in writing.
Which assisted living communities are closest to Oak House Assisted Living?
The closest other ARCP licensed for nine or more residents is SGC Group LLC in New Orleans, in the same ZIP code, listed as Level 3 (assisted living) with 95 licensed residents.

Oak House Assisted Living is in the Uptown, the Garden District & Carrollton part of New Orleans; the nearest acute-care hospital on LDH's licensed roster is Touro Infirmary, in the same ZIP code.
Next is University Medical Center New Orleans at about 2.7 miles. Distances use ZIP-code centroids, so treat them as approximate.

PACE Greater New Orleans lists this ZIP code in its service area, so a resident who later prefers to live with family nearby could still use it.

What should families ask Oak House Assisted Living before moving in?
Start with the documents Louisiana requires it to have: 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, Latanye Black, and who is in charge overnight.
