Ochsner Medical Center Skilled Nursing Facility

Ochsner Medical Center Skilled Nursing Facility occupies the third floor of the renowned Ochsner Medical Center on Jefferson Highway, placing it in one of the most medically resourced corridors in the Greater New Orleans region. As part of Ochsner Health—Louisiana's largest non-profit health system—this skilled nursing unit offers a level of clinical integration that few stand-alone facilities can match. Patients transitioning from acute hospital care benefit from immediate access to the full breadth of Ochsner's specialist network, diagnostic labs, and rehabilitation services without ever leaving the campus. Situated in Jefferson Parish, the facility sits along a well-connected stretch of Jefferson Highway that puts families within easy reach of the surrounding community. Lafreniere Park in nearby Metairie, one of the most beloved green spaces on the East Bank, offers a peaceful destination for family outings just minutes away. The Clearview City Center shopping area provides convenient access to everyday essentials, pharmacies, and dining options along Veterans Memorial Boulevard. Classic New Orleans-area restaurants—from neighborhood po'boy shops to Cajun seafood staples—line the surrounding streets, making it easy for visiting family members to grab a meal close by. The Old Metairie and River Ridge neighborhoods nearby reflect the stable, family-oriented character of Jefferson Parish, a community long known for its strong local services and accessibility. For families traveling from New Orleans proper, the facility is a straightforward drive along Jefferson Highway with no bridge or toll required. As a non-profit corporation, Ochsner Health operates this skilled nursing facility with a mission-driven commitment to patient outcomes rather than shareholder returns. Every care decision is guided by evidence-based clinical protocols developed across a health system that serves hundreds of thousands of Louisiana residents annually. Residents receive round-the-clock nursing oversight, physician-directed care plans, and coordinated discharge planning designed to support a safe return home or transition to the appropriate next level of care. For families seeking skilled nursing with the confidence of hospital-grade oversight, this facility represents a trusted choice in Jefferson Parish.
