Premier Assisted Living and Memory Care Community

Our Purpose. Our Passion.

Francois Bend is a beautifully designed, amenity-rich senior living campus in the heart of Gonzales, LA—just minutes from I-10 and close to hospitals, clinics, churches, and city services.

We provide assisted living for seniors who value independence but need extra support, including multiple levels of care and dedicated memory care. Because all apartments are licensed for assisted living, residents can stay in the same home as their needs evolve.

Our team bridges the gap between hospital and nursing home care with on-site nursing, physical therapy, and a full medication program—always tailored to each resident’s preferences and needs.
