About Live Oak

+
Live Oak is a skilled nursing community located on East Flournoy Lucas Road in south Shreveport's thriving 71115 community, operated by a non-profit corporation with a mission-centered commitment to serving seniors with integrity, transparency, and genuine compassion. As a non-profit operator, Live Oak directs its resources toward resident care quality, staffing excellence, and building a community where every resident feels valued—free from the competing pressures that investor-driven organizations often face. South Shreveport's 71115 corridor is among the most desirable residential and commercial zones in the metropolitan area. Willis-Knighton South Medical Center, one of the region's most comprehensive hospital campuses, is located nearby on Bert Kouns Industrial Loop—providing Live Oak residents and families with confidence that emergency and specialty medical services are close at hand. The Youree Drive corridor, a thriving commercial artery just minutes away, offers pharmacies, national retailers, and a wide range of dining options that make family visits both convenient and enjoyable. The Pierremont neighborhood's canopied residential streets and community parks add to the area's appeal as a setting for senior care. For cultural enrichment, south Shreveport's location places Live Oak within easy reach of some of the city's finest institutions. The R.W. Norton Art Gallery, housed among museum-quality sculpture gardens on Creswell Avenue, is a beloved destination for locals and visitors. The Barnwell Garden and Art Center near the Red River offers botanical programming and seasonal events that reflect Shreveport's creative community spirit. Downtown's Shreveport Aquarium and Sci-Port Discovery Center on Clyde Fant Parkway are popular destinations for grandchildren visiting residents—adding a dimension of joy and family connection to the care experience. Live Oak's skilled nursing team provides 24-hour clinical oversight, physical and occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, wound care, medically complex care coordination, and personalized long-term nursing support. The non-profit operating model means that every operational decision is driven by what is best for residents and families—not by financial return expectations.
