How for-profit homes in Baton Rouge, LA compare
This group set against every nursing home in Baton Rouge, LA, from the current CMS release.
Center Point runs 172 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 15% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins right when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 46.8%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 52 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related; the most recent inspection was May 7, 2025. CMS gives one star for health inspections and two for staffing, with three for quality measures. The deficiency count is high even without serious harm findings, and the staffing pattern explains why.
Sage Rehabilitation Hospital SNF has 25 certified beds and is owned by an individual for profit. Its last inspection was October 29, 2024, and while it has 18 total deficiencies on record, none of them are at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse related, which is worth asking about directly. The inspection history is strong, and quality measures land above average. The staffing side tells a different story: nurse staffing sits far below the national average, and that's the weakest number in the file. Low staffing can affect how quickly call lights get answered and how much time aides spend with each resident.
The Woodleigh of Baton Rouge runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below what the home provides on weekdays. Staff turnover is 48.2%, a bit above the national 45.8%, so expect some churn among the people caring for residents.
The bigger concern is the inspection record: 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $10,748 fine. The most recent inspection was June 5, 2025, so the picture is current. Three stars each for health inspections, quality measures, and staffing puts this home squarely in the middle of the pack.
Sterling Place runs 3.37 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up alongside 21 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 42.3 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so retention isn't the main problem here, numbers are. The last inspection was July 31, 2024, and this for-profit corporation's 144-bed home carries a two-star staffing rating and two stars on health inspections. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how weekends are covered.
Landmark South runs 144 beds in Baton Rouge under corporate ownership, and its recent inspection history is the strongest thing it has going: a four-star health inspection rating and a survey completed in January 2026. The staffing picture is where it gets shaky. At 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday may look different from a Tuesday. Turnover runs 54.9% against a national 45.8%, which means aides and nurses cycle through faster than most places. Eleven deficiencies are on record, including two tied to abuse and one at the harm level, with a single fine of $10,036.
Capital Oaks runs lean on nursing hours, 3.45 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, about 7% below its own weekday coverage. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 16 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, three tied to abuse. Federal fines total $158,019 across two penalties, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. Staff turnover of 32.9% actually sits below the national rate of 45.8%, so the home isn't losing caregivers unusually fast, the problem looks more like how many are scheduled and how the place performs when inspectors show up. For-profit, LLC-owned, 123 beds.
St Clare Manor runs 184 beds in Baton Rouge under limited liability ownership, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.3% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are cycling through quickly. Inspections are recent and clean at the harm level, though the record shows 22 deficiencies, one abuse-related. Federal quality measures rate 2 out of 5.
Landmark of Baton Rouge runs 144 certified beds as a for-profit limited liability company, and its staffing sits at 3.75 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. That gap looks small until you see weekends, when hours drop about 21% below the home's own weekday levels. Annual turnover is 57.8%, well above the national 45.8%, which means the people showing up on a Saturday may be newer than you'd expect. The inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit dated February 25, 2026, recent enough to reflect current conditions.
Flannery Oaks runs on less nursing time than most homes in the country, about three hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, with weekends thinner still. That's the number behind its staffing rating, and it pairs with a 54.7% annual turnover rate, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached the level of actual harm. A 130-bed for-profit run by a corporation, it was last inspected in July 2025. Quality measures score better than staffing and inspections here, so ask about day-to-day coverage before deciding.
Jefferson Manor runs 122 certified beds in Baton Rouge, and the staffing numbers alone tell a story.

The inspection record is where things get more serious: 36 deficiencies, four at the harm or jeopardy level, and six abuse-related. Three CMS fines total $121,628. Medicare's own ratings put health inspections and quality measures at one star each.
Heritage Manor of Baton Rouge II runs 144 beds under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, under the national average, with weekends running roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage gaps show up when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 60.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. On the inspection side, 33 deficiencies are on record, including six at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $61,591 and a survey dated March 5, 2026.

Mid City Community Nursing and Rehab runs 184 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing is the first thing to look at: 3.14 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 19% below. Weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 47.7%, a bit above the national 45.8%.

Inspectors have logged 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a single fine of $26,790; the last inspection was March 2026. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the staffing and quality measure ratings both come in at two out of five.
Pines Retirement Center Of Baton Rouge runs a for-profit limited liability operation with 85 certified beds, and the numbers carry some weight. Nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but the weekend dips about 12% below weekday levels, and turnover is 73.5% against a national average of 45.8%, that churn matters more than the small staffing edge. Inspections tell the harder story: 68 deficiencies on record, three at the harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and a single fine of $174,993, with the most recent inspection in September 2025.
The staffing cushion doesn't offset that record. When you're comparing homes, ask specifically about the abuse deficiencies and the harm-level citations.
The Guest House Care Center runs on 2.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 17 percent below what it manages during the week.
