Copeland Tower, the iconic Severn Avenue landmark that for decades has been perhaps Metairie's most architecturally distinct edifice, will soon be converted into a senior community, officials confirmed Monday.
Vitality Living, a Tennessee-based company that operates senior living facilities across the southeast, is partnering with Al Copeland Jr. and Al Copeland Investments to convert the 95-suite hotel into single-bedroom apartments in a location that will have a fitness center, restaurant, bar and other amenities, Vitality Living CEO Chris Guay said.
It will be called Copeland Tower Living.

Guay hopes they can welcome their first residents by the middle of the summer. Rents will start at about $3,000 per month on a year-long lease, he said.
Copeland Tower Living will occupy the bottom 16 floors of the building, with the 16th including a full service salon, the fitness center and a yoga studio, he said. Copeland Investments will remain on the 17th-floor.

Two blocks from Omega Hospital.
Should be convenient.

Al Jr is a smart dude. He knows where the money is.
I’m not surprised one bit.
Those boomers have some money and their kids don’t wanna take care of them.

Gutting the assets of the dying is a huge industry in this country. If you go to retirement meccas like Las Vegas, there is a whole infrastructure of judges, professional guardians, "protective" services workers, etc. that grease the wheels. Granny can't care for herself anymore, kids are in LA or NYC... before they know it these vultures have taken over everything and are shunting it to the "heroes" who have the credentials to give her the "care she needs."
Very few of those residents will be paying that $3,000 of their own volition

Better that money go to give them a decent quality of life than be hoarded for absentee relatives to inherit.

Do people actually want to live in these places?
If im old, id pay my grandkid to come hang out with the extra $ and just rent a normal one level house.
As a son, I couldnt imagine shelling out that and putting one of my parents there. They can just live with me, or next door or down the street for that price.

Was this a holiday inn at some point? Or am I thinking of something else.

Doubt it. They would need to covert into some sort of medical facility

Sounds like a high rise retirement community

Really? Grandparents lived in an assisted living that didn't do much medically wise. Just cleaned the apartments and made meals.
Seems like that, which 3k is about going rate.

Retro, I like it. I bet the sr. citizens will enjoy the 1960s theme.

One of our clients, a widow lady. 85 years old, lives alone, her only child lives in Dallas and she doesn't want to move there. A place like that would be perfect for her.

That makes sense with Legends being next door.

My dad will probably end up living with us at some point in the next 10 years. I'll probably buy a house with a little apartment out back or build one wherever we live. He likes his own space. I wouldn't put him in a place like that though
