As result of the generosity and patron support that began with Julien Poydras’s original bequest in 1817, Poydras Home has stood the test of time. Today, we continue to invest in the core values of the Poydras mission of quality, compassionate care that have remained at the forefront of the Poydras experience.

Poydras’s hallmark is compassionate caregivers that families never forget. It is the human touch and personal warmth inside Poydras that separates us from other organizations, that makes us unique among Continuing Care Retirement Communities and provides a worthy experience for the lives of those entrusted in our care.

Poydras Home relies on individual contributions to make a difference in the lives of our residents and day participants. Gifts to Poydras help maintain our excellent staff ratios, retain the very best caregivers, provide improvements to the Home, facilitate new therapies and equipment for assisted living and nursing care and support needed programs for Alzheimer’s and memory care. Your tax-deductible gift through the Endowment Fund, Annual Appeal, Memorials & Gifts, Pastoral Care, the Annual Art Show & Patron Party and Special Bequests & Planned Giving helps Poydras excel at the highest standard of care for the elderly. Every gift counts, just as every loved one at Poydras, now and the future generations, matters.
