Our American flag, that we are so proud of, wavers over our front lawn adding patriotism to our home.Capitol House was founded by the late Mr. and Mrs. John V. Latil. The Latils began operating the home (formerly Capitol Nursing Home) in 1959. Through their hard work and concern for the elderly and physically handicapped, they earned an excellent reputation in the community, and were loved by the residents who lived at Capitol House. We are a privately owned and operated facility in Baton Rouge. Capitol House is more than a nursing facility. Our residents call it home. From the spacious and elegant design to the caring and professional staff, we are "Your Home Away From Home" where we set the standard in Long Term Care. We are sensitive to the individual needs of each resident, and to the importance of making them feel welcome and at-home. Their comfort and happiness comes first. We provide them with an environment in which they are secure, loved, and appreciated. Capitol House is licensed by the State of Louisiana and has met and satisfied all state standards.
