The Face of Senior Care
Maria Yiannopoulos, Owner/Manager

Bon Jour is a wellness club for seniors diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment, offering daily social and cognitive activities designed to slow the progression of dementia. Our goal is to keep members engaged, connected, and living with purpose.

Owner Maria Yiannopoulos is the only certified Fit Minds Cognitive Coach in Louisiana, bringing a unique evidence-based program to our center. From art and chair yoga to music and tea parties, every day at Bon Jour is full of stimulating, joyful experiences.

We’re also proud to operate our sister company, Dedicated Sitters, offering personalized sitter and concierge services to support families when they need it most.

How are you involved in the community?
We connect families with dementia resources, provide expert support, and actively engage with local business and caregiver networks. Maria is also a Certified Dementia Practitioner and involved in several professional associations in Baton Rouge.

What is special about Greater Baton Rouge to you?
Baton Rouge has transformed into a vibrant, culturally rich city while keeping its Southern charm. It’s where I grew up, and now, it’s where I get to give back through meaningful work that supports seniors and families.

What services do you offer?
We offer a social wellness day program for seniors with Mild Cognitive Impairment, featuring the Fit Minds program and enriching activities. We also provide trusted sitter services through Dedicated Sitters, giving families flexibility and peace of mind.
