Care at Oceans Behavioral Hospital — Bellemeade
Hospital-based care in Gretna
Oceans Behavioral Hospital of Greater New Orleans — Bellemeade is a 48-bed behavioral health hospital at 229 Bellemeade Boulevard in Gretna, Louisiana. The current provider page describes hospital-based treatment for adults and older adults who need a safe, structured inpatient setting for acute behavioral or psychiatric symptoms.
Clinical scope
The hospital evaluates concerns such as severe mood, anxiety or thought-related symptoms, safety risk, cognitive or behavioral change and co-occurring behavioral and medical needs. Treatment is assessment-led and may include psychiatric care, medication review, individual and group work, family involvement and discharge planning. The exact program and age pathway should be confirmed before admission.
Accommodation and practical questions
This is an overnight hospital setting rather than a private residential villa. Ask admissions about the proposed unit, bedroom arrangements, visiting and phone policies, medical coverage, medication handling and how transfers are managed if a different level of care is required.
Fees and admissions
Recovery.com lists an estimated private-pay rate of USD 800 per day. A straight-line 30-day comparison is USD 24,000 (USD 800 × 30), but this is a calculation from a third-party daily estimate—not a provider quotation or an indication that a 30-day stay will be recommended. Request a current written estimate that identifies the inpatient service, expected duration, insurance terms and separately billed professional or medical services.
Continuing care
Before discharge, ask how the hospital coordinates outpatient treatment, medication follow-up, family communication and local crisis support. Confirm who will receive the discharge plan and how quickly follow-up appointments are expected.
