  • Whealdon Estates Description

    Whealdon Estates offers a quiet retreat away from the city while remaining close to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital and attractions like the Mall of Louisiana, Baton Rouge Zoo, the Old State Capitol and Magnolia Mound Plantation. Honoring the culture of the region, residents at Whealdon Estates enjoy pleasures like crawfish boils, BBQ, Mardi Gras and homemade shrimp etouffee.

    Live stress-free at Whealdon Estates senior living, a Holiday Retirement community in Baton Rouge, LA. We serve Prairieville, Central, Shenandoah, Baker & more.

    Residents appreciate the freedom and flexibility our independent living communities offer as needs around personal care and medical assistance change. Choosing a la carte from third-party health care and personal care providers* -- many with offices right inside the community -- gives them the power to choose their providers and obtain similar services as they would in a higher level of care like assisted living, but without giving up the independence, warm community of friends, and fun-loving atmosphere they enjoy so much.
