The St. Margaret’s Family of Care Communities

St. Margaret’s Family of Care is made up of three communities, each with its own compassionate and skilled staff.

St. Margaret’s at Mercy

St. Margaret’s at Mercy was designed with our residents in mind. As is true of all of the St. Margaret’s facilities, we built this location to look and feel like a home, not a nursing facility.

Our facility is designed on the household model. Gone are the days of long corridors, triple-occupancy rooms, and traditional nursing stations. Here, at our skilled nursing facility, you will find households comprised of eight to ten beds, 90% of which are private rooms, which are then joined to other households to form a neighborhood.

Within each neighborhood, residents enjoy amenities designed to emulate the atmosphere of a home: like a hearth room, dining room, and a country kitchen.

The Residence and Grounds at St. Margaret’s at Mercy

Our incredibly spacious 130,000 square foot building offers residents a myriad options for spending their time. They might choose to relax in the comforts of their private room, or to socialize with others in the St. Margaret’s communities. We offer a variety of services, and our expert staff can accommodate both short and long-term residences.

St. Margaret’s Downtown

Located at 450 South Claiborne Avenue, just ten minutes from downtown New Orleans, St. Margaret’s Downtown offers a warm, homelike environment. We open our arms and hearts to families, working as a team of caring professionals to enrich the lives of aging loved ones.

Who We Are

St. Margaret’s Downtown serves residents of Greater New Orleans, Orleans Parish, and Jefferson Parish. We provide premiere care and assistance. On the nursing home campus, our residents have access to around-the-clock registered nurses, social workers, medical director physicians, and on-site therapists.

Our caring and passionate team also provides long-term and short-term residences. Short-term residents enjoy all the perks of being on campus but still have a team working to get them fully rehabilitated and back home soon.

St. Margaret’s Lakewood

As the newest member of the St. Margaret’s Family of Care, our Lakewood campus expands upon our tradition of excellence in skilled nursing care, and comprises one more facility in the St. Margaret’s that community that has continued to thrive in New Orleans since 1889.

Our mission is to offer dedicated, dependable care to each of our residents, and to preserve and protect the dignity of the elders we strive to serve.

Our Lakewood location will extend our commitment to quality care into Algiers. Our residents are our family, our community, our heritage, and they deserve to live and thrive among the comforts of home.
