LDH lists SummerHouse Ashton Manor as Level 2 (shelter care home) with 86 licensed residents. Levels 1 and 2 are smaller homes (up to 8 and 9-16 residents); Levels 3 and 4 are apartment-style settings for 17 or more, and only Level 4 may provide nursing.
Louisiana assigns the level at licensing, and LDH's directory entry is typed by hand, so confirm the current level and capacity with the facility and on LDH's directory before signing a residency agreement.
Does SummerHouse Ashton Manor offer memory care?
The state records do not say: LDH does not publish which ARCPs run a specialized dementia care program, so ask SummerHouse Ashton Manor directly whether it has one and for the written admission criteria Louisiana requires if it does.
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 (14.0 mi), Anderson Memory Care LLC (43.0 mi).
Has Louisiana cited SummerHouse Ashton Manor for deficiencies?
Louisiana does not put ARCP survey reports online in bulk, so the posted copy at SummerHouse Ashton Manor 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 SummerHouse Ashton Manor 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 happens at SummerHouse Ashton Manor if a hurricane is coming?
Louisiana treats storm planning as part of the license, so SummerHouse Ashton Manor must have a written evacuation and shelter-in-place plan, tag each resident with identification and give residents its evacuation procedures in writing; that copy is the first thing to request.
St. Charles Parish lies on both banks of the river upstream of the city, with flood risk shaped by the river levees and the West Bank hurricane protection project. 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.
