August 12, 2024 // Franchising.com // BATON ROUGE, LA - Assisted Living Locators announced today the opening of its new Baton Rouge, LA location. This new franchise, led by Senior Living Advisor and Zachary resident Tonja Jackson, BSN, RN, is dedicated to guiding families through senior care options, offering this essential service at no cost to families. The office will service Baton Rouge and surrounding south central Louisiana parishes, including the cities of Zachary, Central, Plaquemine, Hammond, Bogalusa and Donaldsonville.
Jackson brings over 23 years of experience as a BSN Registered Nurse to her role as a senior care advisor. Her extensive background includes 17 years in the long-term care industry, where she has served in various leadership positions such as Director of Nursing, Regional Director of Clinical Operations, and as a National Certified Director of Nursing in long-term care. Additionally, Jackson is a National Certified Legal Nurse, further enhancing her expertise in navigating the complexities of senior care.
"My experience as a registered nurse, particularly in long-term care and behavioral health, has given me a deep understanding of the diverse needs of seniors," Jackson said. "We become partners with the family. We stay very engaged with them…Even after placement, we stay in touch with the families to make sure that it's a good fit for them and that it's something that's going to be lasting."
Assisted Living Locators offers a comprehensive range of services to assist seniors in finding suitable care options, whether it's independent living, assisted living, memory care, or something in between. Services provided by the Baton Rouge office include:
"Seniors and their families need a trusted advisor to help them navigate what can be an overwhelming amount of information," said Tonja Jackson. "Our goal is to assist families in choosing the right care options for their loved ones, to save time, decrease stress, and provide peace of mind. We're not just about filling beds – we want to change how people perceive this process and find the right fit for each individual."
Jackson's nursing background allows her to offer unique insights into the healthcare needs of seniors. She emphasizes that Assisted Living Locators works with seniors at various stages, including those seeking active independent living communities. "We can place you in an independent living facility where you're still on your own, but you've got meals provided for you in some cases, activities available, and transportation to many locations. My clinical experience helps me assess each individual's needs and match them with the most appropriate care setting.”
