Louisiana does not let an operator sell or hand over an ARCP license, so the 2011 start date belongs to this licensee's history at this address. When the current issue date is much newer than the original one, ask whether the building changed hands.
What does a Level 3 license allow Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care to do?
Louisiana classifies Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care as Level 3 assisted living, which covers daily-living help and medication support for 17 or more residents but stops short of nursing; outside agencies bring that in under a physician's orders.
The practical test comes at discharge: a Level 3 building can take a resident back if home health supplies the therapy or wound care and the ARCP coordinates it.
Does Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care run a memory care program?
Memory care is part of its licensed name, which signals a marketed specialized dementia care program; Louisiana then requires Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care to keep written program policies and admission and discharge criteria that families and the public may read (LAC 48:I.6851).
LDH does not publish which ARCPs have disclosed a dementia program. Ask for the written criteria, the date the Office of State Fire Marshal approved any locked exits, and the training log showing eight hours of dementia instruction within 90 days of hire and eight hours a year for hands-on staff.

Where can I read Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care's state inspection findings?
At the building: Louisiana requires Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care to post any statement of deficiencies where residents and visitors can see it, and the statement becomes public 30 days after the provider gets it or after LDH accepts the plan of correction (LAC 48:I.6823).
No posted findings does not mean no findings, so ask directly. If something on a tour concerns you, call LDH's Health Standards Section at 1-888-810-1819; complaint investigations are unannounced.
What is Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care's plan for floods, storms and power outages?
It must have one in writing. Every Louisiana ARCP, Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care included, needs an evacuation and shelter-in-place plan, a generator list, resident identification and a resident copy of the evacuation steps; ask for that copy before signing.
Ask for the host site's name, the last time the plan was used, and the disaster-fee formula Louisiana requires in the pre-residency paperwork.

How close is Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care to a hospital?
Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care is located in the South Baton Rouge, LSU & Perkins Road part of Baton Rouge, and Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center is the closest acute-care hospital on LDH's roster, in the same ZIP code.
Baton Rouge General Medical Center follows at roughly 4.1 miles. These are ZIP-centroid distances, not drive times.
For a later move to nursing home care, the closest CMS-certified homes are St James Place Nursing Care Center (1.2 mi, CMS 4 of 5) and Ollie Steele Burden Manor (2.2 mi, CMS 3 of 5).
PACE Baton Rouge serves this parish, so a parent who later moves in with family nearby could enroll in it instead of entering a nursing home.
What should we ask Holly Court Assisted Living and Memory Care before signing?
Begin with the paperwork Louisiana requires: request the latest statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction that answered it; both must be available on site.
- Ask which outside home health agencies currently serve residents, since a Level 3 provider cannot supply nursing itself.
- Ask who sets up and gives medications, how errors are tracked, and whether medication help is priced by the number of drugs.
- Ask for the written discharge criteria before signing; Louisiana allows 30 days to appeal an involuntary discharge.
- Ask what triggers a move to a higher care fee, and confirm the 30-day written notice for rate changes.
- Ask to meet Andrea Ford Berthelot, the administrator named on the license, and who runs the building overnight.
