An abundance of things to do

You'll never be bored at St. James Place. We offer so many opportunities for recreation, socializing, education, and entertainment that you could never do them all!

LIVING LIFE WELL MEANS PARTYING WELL! Every holiday is cause for a celebration but our parties are certainly not limited to holidays only. We enjoy outdoor parties such as crawfish boils and pig roasts, always with live music to entertain. Whether it's Cajun music, big band sounds, or rock 'n roll, our portable wooden dance floor provides a fine venue for dancing --both indoors and outdoors.

And St. James Place is not the only host of parties -- as a resident you may choose to entertain here for your own private parties. Our dining services includes a catering staff that can ensure your private parties are exquisite affairs. Residents have entertained here for their weddings, wedding anniversaries, birthdays, and in some cases, a "Celebration of My Anniversary of Moving to St. James Place"!

LIVING LIFE WELL MEANS LEARNING WELL. To keep your mind active, we offer the "Knowledge and Discovery" series, our in-house "learning-in-retirement" program. Residents serve as both teachers and students, and share their expertise in a wide array of topics. Past programs have included classes on computer skills, exploring the Bible, and wine tasting.

LIVING LIFE WELL MEANS PLAYING WELL. Residents gather for various activities such as bridge, poker, billiards, pingpong, shuffleboard, and Happy Hour. Our newest addition is a putting green!

LIVING LIFE WELL MEANS BEING ROYALLY ENTERTAINED. Our Duplantier auditorium is the setting for many cultural and entertainment programs such as concerts by the Louisiana Sinfonietta, Louisiana State University student recitals, as well as demonstrations and performances by local artists and residents.

LIVING LIFE WELL MEANS SPIRITUAL GROWTH. St. James Place is a faith-based community, sponsored by St. James Episcopal Church, and open to all. We are one of the few CCRCs (if not the only one) to offer a "director of pastoral care" for our residents. This person is available for pastoral counseling and support for life transitions. Our nondemonimational chapel is an oasis of peace and quiet, and is available for individual mediation as well as for church services of various denominations. Residents enjoy transporation to near-by churches for Sunday services and can also attend the weekly Episcopal church service held here on our campus.
