Leslie Lakes is proud to have opened the specialized Bariatric Center inside Leslie Lakes Retirement Center. We began accepting bariatric residents in June 2009. Our facility provides the specialized equipment and living accommodations necessary to treat bariatric residents in a comfortable and safe environment. We understand that many facilities cannot provide the appropriate care that severely obese patients require. Now anyone needing bariatric care in our area will no longer have to travel to South Louisiana to obtain the care they need. We hope that Leslie Lakes can assist residents in their recovery by building self-esteem and confidence. We are here to help. A beautifully furnished Hospice suite served by trained Hospice staff offers the medical attention needed at this time and emotional and spiritual guidance to the families and their loved ones.
