Page Reviewed / Updated – August 30, 2023

Rich in history and culture and home to numerous historical sites, Opelousas is Louisiana’s third oldest city. Approximately 14% of its population of 15,000 is aged 65 or older. Senior-friendly tax laws and low living costs make the city a desirable option for older adults, while amenities such as the Area Agency on Aging and senior centers provide valuable information and places to meet new friends and participate in various activities and programs.

Residents can also access comprehensive health care services at the Southwest Louisiana Primary Health Care Center. This center has served southwest Louisiana since 1993. As the region gets around 214 sunny days a year, senior residents can enjoy the great outdoors, and with little or no snowfall, getting around town shouldn’t be a problem. Even though crime is higher than the U.S. average, people who live in assisted living communities can feel safe due to high levels of security at the facilities. 

Assisted living communities in the region charge an average of $3,850, according to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey. This is in line with the state median of $3,748 but $650 less than the national average.
