Schonberg Care, a family-owned operator of senior living communities in the Southeast, recently added an assisted living/memory care community in New Orleans to its growing portfolio. Originally built in 1898 as the Belleville Elementary School, the building was converted to senior living in 1989. It currently has 53 assisted living and memory care units ranging from 300 to 800 square feet. Units offer a kitchenette, living room, private bath and separate bedroom. There is also a courtyard patio with fountains and tropical landscaping.
Schonberg acquired the community earlier this summer and has been hard at work ever since, overseeing a $1 million renovation of the property that was just completed. Rates currently range from $3,200 per month for the smallest apartment and basic services to $5,600 per month for the highest level of care. The community joins Schonberg Care’s portfolio of 13 other senior living communities in Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina.
