Assisted Living in Kenner, LA

Kenner is the largest city in Jefferson Parish, LA, with a population of about 65,300 and a healthy mix of seniors aged 65 or older making up nearly 16% of its residents. Forbes previously named this New Orleans suburb one of the best places to retire in Louisiana for its lower-than-average violent crime rate, lack of state income tax on Social Security benefits and income tax breaks on pension income. Kenner’s overall cost of living is slightly less than the national average, and aging adults don’t have to contend with snow, with an average overnight low of 45 degrees in the coldest month.

Aging adults seeking a residential setting that provides some assistance with daily activities, but who don’t require a nursing-home level of care, may enjoy an assisted living community. According to Genworth’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey, Kenner has an average assisted living cost of $3,973. Although this price is slightly higher than the state average, it’s lower than the national average.

This guide offers a quick rundown of assisted living in Kenner, including assisted living cost comparisons with other Louisiana cities. It also includes brief descriptions of free or low-cost programs and services supporting seniors, including contact information.
