St. James Place is Redefining Retirement Lifestyle

Our Mission is to Maintain the Life You Love Most

Our mission will always be to simultaneously provide a lifestyle focused on choice and individuality with the peace of mind which stems from a full continuum of care. As the only Continuing Care Retirement Community in Baton Rouge, St. James Place ensures the way you live will remain cohesive across any changing health care needs. Sponsored by the St. James Episcopal Church, St. James Place was created in 1983 to promote active, successful aging for residents of the Gulf South Region. Located in the heart of Baton Rouge, the beautiful 52-acre landscape of St. James Place backs into Duplantier swamp, offering the serenity of nature next to amenity-filled, state-of-the-art facilities. We are committed to ensuring every resident of St. James Place enjoys a high quality lifestyle in a life-affirming culture of community. Life at St. James Place is stress-free, maintenance-free and full of comfort.
