What is special about Greater Baton Rouge to you?
Baton Rouge has transformed into a vibrant, culturally rich city while keeping its South- ern charm.

We offer a social wellness day program for seniors with Mild Cognitive Impairment, featuring the Fit Minds program and enrich- ing activities. We also provide trusted sitter services through Dedicated Sitters, giving families flexibility and peace of mind.
