History

Established in 1983.

In the late 1970’s, a group of forward-​thinking parishioners of St. James Episcopal Church in downtown Baton Rouge envisioned a full-​service retirement community that would be seen as the first choice for active, successful aging. This community would offer a high quality lifestyle and a lifetime of enrichment satisfying the widest possible range of needs.

St. James Place opened in 1983, fulfilling that vision, and became the first retirement community in the state of Louisiana. Its 52 lush, rolling acres provide the perfect setting for Living Life Well on property that was once the Duplantier Plantation.

A multi-​million dollar expansion and renovation in 2001 positioned St. James Place as a leader in senior living in the Gulf South region with standards prized by seniors of today.
