“Russ Place is the only place I will put my Uncle. The staff are super helpful and friendly, and the facility is top notch! The only reason my mother isn't there is because we live in West Monroe, and she wants to be close to us. I'm still working on her though.”

Most Louisiana families cover assisted living, memory care or independent living with a mix of private funds, often savings combined with the proceeds from selling a home.

About these figures
Computed on October 23, 2026 from the 5 communities listed in Ruston, 43 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change; the written summary was last revised September 25, 2026.
