About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the late afternoon, an elderly gentleman named simply ‘the Regular’ shuffled into Ochsner 65 Plus with his trusty walking stick. As he made his way down the hallway, patients and staff alike noticed something peculiar—his shadow seemed to lag behind him, moving at its own slow pace. As he approached the reception desk, a young nurse asked, ‘Sir, are you okay? Your shadow looks exhausted!’ The Regular smiled and replied, ‘Oh, she’s just having one of those days.’ He then turned to leave, but paused for a moment and added, ‘By the way, could you please tell everyone not to worry—these two will be together forever.’
2. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Ochsner 65 Plus, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from the empty hallway. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the walls. As he looked closer, he realized it was just an old ventilator making strange noises. Embarrassed, he drove away, only to hear more laughter from his own empty truck bed—probably just a banana peel or two.
3. One day, a little girl visiting her grandmother at Ochsner 65 Plus noticed something peculiar. Every morning, just before breakfast, a nurse would quietly slip out of the building carrying a large box wrapped in brown paper. The little girl followed one day and discovered that inside was a giant jar filled with jellybeans. It turned out the nurse was delivering them as a surprise treat for all patients every week. Everyone loved it—even the grumpiest old aunts started smiling wider than ever before.
4. One morning, a concerned neighbor asked the receptionist at Ochsner 65 Plus, 'Why does that old man keep coming here with empty bags?' The receptionist smiled and whispered, ‘He’s not an old man—he’s our most loyal patient, Mr. Johnson. Every day he comes in for his check-up, gets his medicine, then goes next door to buy snacks because they’re cheaper there.’ The neighbor laughed and shook his head, realizing he’d been fooled by a friendly local routine.
