Hospital, senior living, hospice, campus & hotel deliveries in Baton Rouge

A basket ships by parcel to a street address, so it cannot go to a PO box, a graveside or a service. What it can do is reach a bedside, a resident's door, a campus mailroom or a hotel front desk, as long as the order names the person the way that place expects. Below, the kinds of places in and around Baton Rouge that boxes get sent to, how each one receives a parcel, and a local example laid out the way the label should read. For a service itself, the same-day flowers on this page go by hand through the local florist.

Hospitals

Parcels go to the hospital's receiving desk or mailroom and are brought up by staff, so pick a delivery day that lands before the expected discharge. Baked goods, fruit and snack boxes suit a room; nothing that needs a fridge. Where a unit does not allow fresh flowers, a basket or a plant is the surer gift.

Also near Baton Rouge: Oceans Behavioral Hospital of Baton Rouge and Womans Hospital, and 1 more.

Senior living and nursing homes

Reception signs for the box and staff bring it through, so a weekday delivery reaches the resident faster than a Saturday one. Soft baked goods, fruit and sugar-free boxes are the usual choice.

Ship to Resident's name, building or apartment number The Woodleigh of Baton Rouge 120 beds14333 Old Hammond Hwy.Baton Rouge, LA 70816

Also near Baton Rouge: Pines Retirement Center of Baton Rouge and White Oak Post Acute Care, and 5 more.

Also near Baton Rouge: Notre Dame Hospice of Greater Baton Rouge.

Colleges and campus mailrooms

Campus mailrooms hold parcels for pickup and notify the student, so a text to say a box is on the way helps. Exam weeks and move-in are the busy times; care packages go out two business days ahead.

Hotels

The front desk matches the box to the reservation and hands it over at check-in. Ship for the day the guest arrives or the day before, never for after checkout.

Flowers and fruit baskets (hand-delivered the same day)

Order bySame-day delivery
Monday–Friday2:00 PM
Saturday12:45 PM
SundayNot available*

Times are your recipient's local time (Central). Flowers and fruit baskets on this page are fulfilled by James Cress Florist (family-run since 1903) through a florist near Baton Rouge that it has vetted: that shop makes the piece from fresh stock and brings it to the door by hand. *Sundays: the florists in that network deliver only on a few major holidays. In the rare case that no florist near Baton Rouge can take the order, the full amount is refunded.

If I order a basket today, when can it reach Baton Rouge?

Baskets ship 2-day, sooner in some regions, and you pick the delivery day on the calendar at checkout. An order placed by 3:45 PM Eastern can arrive as soon as two days later; the calendar shows the exact days open for your recipient's ZIP code (70801, 70802, 70803 and others).

Can a basket be shipped to Ochsner Medical Center - Baton Rouge?

Yes. Ochsner Medical Center - Baton Rouge sits 2 miles out from Baton Rouge, and the box goes to its street address. Address the box to the patient's full name with the unit or room number and use the hospital's street address. Hospitals take parcels at a receiving desk or mailroom and staff bring them up, so pick a delivery day that lands before the expected discharge; a box that arrives after the patient has left sits in the mailroom until someone claims it. Fresh flowers are not allowed on some units, so for intensive care or oncology a basket or a plant is the surer gift.

When to ship what to Baton Rouge

Baskets travel by parcel and can wait on a step for an afternoon, so the month decides the contents. Thirty-year averages for Baton Rouge, month by month, with the ones that matter marked.

  1. Jan 61°40°
  2. Feb 65°44°
  3. Mar 71°50°
  4. Apr 78°56°
  5. May 84°65°
  6. Jun 89°71° Heat
  7. Jul 91°73° Heat
  8. Aug 91°72° Heat
  9. Sep 88°68° Heat
  10. Oct now 80°57°
  11. Nov 70°47°
  12. Dec 63°42°

October in Baton Rouge: afternoons around 80°F, nights around 57°F. Nothing in the forecast averages argues against a doorstep delivery; any basket in the catalog travels well.

Heat (June, July, August and September). Afternoons average 85°F or more, peaking near 91°F in August. Send chocolate, cheese and fresh fruit to a workplace or a front desk in these months; baked goods, nuts, coffee, tea and spa baskets can take a doorstep drop.

Wettest months (June and August). Around 6.5 and 6.1 inches of rain on average. Boxes are sealed, not waterproof: a covered porch or a workplace address keeps the packaging presentable.

Weather only matters for the shipped box. The same-day flowers on this page are carried in by a local florist and handed over, whatever the month.

Normals: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, 1991 to 2020, Lsu Ben-hur Farm station, 9.8 miles from Baton Rouge. Heat: average high 85°F or more. Freezing: average low 32°F or less. Snow: 2 inches or more in the month. Wettest: the two months with the most rain.
