We’re thrilled to share that St. James Place was nationally recognized with the Humana Spirit Award for Active Aging Week!
Our campus came alive with energy, connection, and joy last week as residents and staff celebrated wellness in every dimension. From start to finish, the week was filled with meaningful moments, laughter, and community spirit.
We kicked things off with a campus-wide Chair Fitness class - bringing together residents from Independent Living, Assisted Living, and even our clergy! One standout favorite? The “Golden Glam” photo booth, where residents dressed to the nines and flashed their best smiles.
Throughout the week, we mixed fun with learning:
Wellness Jeopardy tested our knowledge in a lively game-show format
Outdoor games in the Butterfly Garden offered fresh air and friendly competition (our giant Jenga game got intense!)
The Decades Dash had participants walking the one-mile loop in fabulous 50s, 60s, and 70s fashion, followed by a festive finish line celebration with dancing, food, and nostalgic fun.
We are so proud of our community for embracing Active Aging Week with such enthusiasm - and honored to be recognized for it. This is just the beginning of a new tradition at St. James Place, where aging actively and joyfully is something to celebrate!

Our residents were treated to a very special day yesterday, filled with pampering, joy, and unforgettable moments.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our volunteers, residents enjoyed professional hair and makeup sessions, followed by a fabulous photoshoot that captured their radiant smiles and timeless elegance. Even a few beloved resident pups and visiting family members joined in the fun, making the day even more heartwarming!
A heartfelt thank you to: Cindy Martrain & Melissa Gulotta, Mary Kay Representatives; Jennifer Major, PS Salon & Spa; and Monique Larroux, Dignity Memorial, who also treated everyone to a delicious spread from Cajun Catering.
We can’t wait to see how fabulous the photos turn out!

St. James Place is bursting with purple and gold pride as we celebrate trip! We’re thrilled to have Rocco’s Pizza & Cantina from Omaha (yes, the College World Series Jell-O shot challengers) make us an official stop on their epic journey, just in time for the LSU Tigers vs. Florida Gators showdown tomorrow!

Our community rolled out the southern hospitality with a true Baton Rouge welcome, serving up boudin balls, crispy fried catfish, and, of course, classic bread pudding. Rocco’s got their first real taste of the South, and we couldn’t be happier to share these flavors!

We’re extra grateful to Rocco’s Pizza & Cantina for coming to town to raise additional funds and awareness for the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. There’s no better way to make a difference than coming together, cheering on the Tigers, and giving back to our community.

We're always having fun at St. James Place, where the spirit is high, the food is delicious, and the cause is worth celebrating!

“We correctly chose to come to St. James Place based on very practical considerations, and we were truly delighted when we realized how wonderful life is at St. James Place. Very friendly staff and fellow residents; attractive and well-maintained facilities; plenty of healthy and fun activities: it is rather like living in a friendly resort for an extended time. Nice, nice indeed!” - Russell Chapman

“I am glad that my husband and I moved to St. James Place when we did. We have enjoyed making new friends while keeping the old, participating in community activities both on and off campus, and continuing to live our lives independently without many of the day-to-day responsibilities of home ownership. We and our family have the peace of mind that comes with knowing we have found our forever home.” - Barbara Biggs

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting a fantastic two-part event in partnership with Martin’s Wine Cellar and the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra - and what a hit it was! We kicked things off with a delightful wine tasting led by Susan Anderson, General Manager of Martin’s Wine Cellar on Lobdell and BRSO Board Member. Residents sampled six unique wines, each one better than the last!
Following the tasting, we welcomed special guests from the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra for an exciting preview of their upcoming 2025-2026 season. Thank you to: David Torns, Resident Conductor; Marshall Carby, Executive Director; Nicklaus White, Development Associate; and Barbara Matens, BRSO Board of Directors.
It was a wonderful afternoon of culture, conversation, and community. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the day so special.
We’re looking forward to the symphony season - and of course, the next wine tasting!

After a sweet victory in the Jello Shot Building Challenge, the spirited residents of Beauregard at St. James Place were inspired to take on a new mission - The Advocate’s 100-Item Food Challenge, led by Louisiana Culture Editor, Jan Risher!

In true St. James Place fashion, 10 dedicated residents went above and beyond by each donating 10+ essential food items to support the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. Together, they contributed over 100 food items AND collected a generous $100 donation to fight hunger in our community. 💛

We’re so proud of our residents for embracing community service with heart, humor, and a little competitive spirit!

BATON ROUGE’S ONLY CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY WITH LIFE CARE

In the late 1970’s, a group of forward-thinking parishioners of St. James Episcopal Church in downtown Baton Rouge envisioned a full-service retirement community that would be the first choice for active, successful aging in the Gulf South region. St. James Place opened its doors in 1983 to become the first retirement community in the state of Louisiana.

We’re committed to providing a high-quality lifestyle and a lifetime of enrichment opportunities. St. James Place remains sponsored by St. James Episcopal Church and governed by a Board of Directors comprised of business leaders, Episcopal clergy, and community civic leaders. Situated on a beautiful stretch of 52-acres once known as the Duplantier Plantation, the community takes pride in providing the perfect setting to Live Life Well.

From engaging social activities to bucket list travel opportunities, you’ll have more time to pursue personal interests and enjoy an active lifestyle when you live stress-free and maintenance-free. There’s peace of mind in knowing there’s help available 24/7 and that a full continuum of care that includes Independent Living, Assisted Living, Nursing Care, and two distinct levels of Memory Care can meet your changing health care needs. At St. James Place, you’ll enjoy a lifestyle that focuses on choice and individuality in an atmosphere that encourages a more social, positive, and active way of life.

If you have any questions about the amenity-rich lifestyle at St. James Place, call us at 225-250-1850.
