East Jefferson General Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs on 7.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national figure, and its staff turnover of 20.5% is less than half the national rate, a combination that usually shows up as consistent caregivers who know the residents. The tradeoff is weekends, when hours drop about a fifth below the unit's own weekday level. Six deficiencies sit on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score midrange against a five-star inspection and staffing picture, which fits a hospital-based nonprofit unit that's strong on people and watchful on weekends.

Baton Rouge General Medical Center's skilled nursing unit runs on 5.89 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 53% more than the national average of 3.86, and it holds that pace on weekends, dropping only about 1% below weekday levels. That consistency matters, because weekend coverage is where a lot of homes quietly thin out. The inspection record is clean where it counts: 7 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a 5/5 health inspection rating and the most recent survey dated April 2026. As a nonprofit corporation, it isn't answering to shareholders. Two certified beds means this is a small unit inside a hospital, so ask how that arrangement works if you need long-term placement rather than a short rehab stay.

LaSalle Nursing Home runs on a hospital district's budget in Jena, and the numbers behind it are mostly steady. Nurse staffing sits at 4.60 hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 13% below its own weekday level, a gap that's real but not dramatic. Turnover is the standout: 23.6% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Inspectors found seven deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse, and the home carries a single fine of $7,443. Its last inspection was in December 2025, so the picture is recent. Quality measure scores land in the middle at 3 out of 5, which is where the overall grade loses ground.

Ochsner Medical Center Skilled Nursing Facility runs a 30-bed nonprofit unit in Jefferson, and the numbers split in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 6.83 hours per resident day, roughly 77% above the national average, and the staff turnover rate of 25.6% is nearly half the national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. That consistency shows up in the inspection record too: a five-star health inspection rating and only six deficiencies, none tied to abuse, though one did rise to the harm level and drew an $8,186 fine. Where it slips is quality measures, which land at two stars. The most recent inspection was in March 2026.

John J Hainkel Jr Home runs on 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and it shows in the federal staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below the home's own weekday level, a pattern worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. The nonprofit's staff turnover sits at 37.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. Six deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth reading in full. The last inspection was April 2026.

The Southwest Louisiana War Veterans Home in Jennings is a state-run home with just 8 certified beds, which is a fraction of the size of a typical nursing facility. Inspections are a clear strength: zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse, with a perfect health inspection rating and a fresh survey from June 2026. Staffing is the weak point, the lowest possible rating, meaning hours per resident fall well below what CMS expects. A state government owner and a spotless inspection record give families real reassurance, but with only eight beds, ask directly how many aides are actually on the floor overnight.

Prairie Manor runs a nonprofit operation in Pine Prairie with 100 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 4.77 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 24% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage only dips around 18% below its own weekday level, a modest drop next to what many homes show. Turnover comes in at 30.6% against a national 45.8%, which suggests people stick around here more than they do elsewhere. The tradeoff shows up in the quality measures, where a 2-star score sits well below the 5-star inspection result, despite seven deficiencies on record and none involving harm or abuse.

Lagniappe Healthcare runs a 112-bed for-profit home in Bastrop, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card. Nurses deliver 4.12 hours per resident per day, about 7% above the national average, and turnover sits at 37%, better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, meaning caregivers tend to stick around. Weekends thin out roughly 13% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A February 2026 inspection is recent, and the 4-star health inspection rating reflects that.

St. Agnes runs 128 certified beds in Breaux Bridge under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 20% below the facility's own weekday levels, and annual turnover is 54% against a national 45.8%. CMS rates staffing 2 out of 5 stars, while quality measures earn 4. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three involve abuse. The last inspection was March 26, 2025. Read together, the quality scores look better than the staffing stability behind them.

Live Oak runs on strong nurse staffing, 4.71 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its inspection and quality ratings both sit at 4 out of 5, with a recent June 2025 survey. But 17 deficiencies on record, including three tied to abuse, are worth asking about directly, even though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below weekdays, so staffing isn't evenly spread across the week. Turnover at 45.4% is essentially the national average, meaning nurse retention here is neither a strength nor a red flag. The non-profit ownership is a steadying factor. What's behind the B is solid care numbers undercut by that deficiency count and a thinner weekend floor.

Wyatt Manor runs 62 beds in Jonesboro under corporate ownership, and its last inspection was recent, March 2026. The health and quality ratings both come back strong at 4 out of 5, and that recent survey matters more than older history. But look at what's on the record: 11 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $17,275 back that up. Staffing sits at 3.69 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 46.3%, essentially matching the national rate. Good inspection marks, real problems underneath.

Bernice Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 126 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 15% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 37.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure and staffing stars both come in at 4 out of 5. The inspection record is where the trouble concentrates: a 1-star health inspection rating, 32 deficiencies including four at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $221,159, with the most recent inspection on March 19, 2025. Good numbers on paper don't cancel out what inspectors actually found in the building.

Hammond Nursing Home runs lean on nursing hours, 3.47 per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends get thinner still, about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays. What stands out is retention: 16.4% annual turnover against a 45.8% national average means the aides and nurses here mostly stay, which matters more for daily care than a slightly low staffing number. The trade-off shows up in the inspection record: 15 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and one $8,018 fine. A recent January 2026 inspection and a 4-star health inspection rating suggest those problems aren't currently the whole story.

Ringgold Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 112 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 28.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The health inspection record is strong, a 4 out of 5, with the most recent survey in July 2025. Fifteen deficiencies are on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly.

Cornerstone Post Acute Care of Bossier runs just 7 certified beds, so you're looking at a very small operation in Bossier City. Nurse staffing sits at 9.46 hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, and the state inspection record is clean at 5 out of 5 stars with six deficiencies on file, none of them involving harm or abuse. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: staff turnover is 63.6% against a national 45.8%, weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekdays, and the quality measure score is only 2 out of 5. A recent September 2025 inspection means the picture is current.

Progressive Care Center runs 8.54 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips only about 13% below its own weekday level, modest compared to many homes. The tradeoff sits in the quality measures, which score 1 out of 5 despite the strong staffing and a 4 out of 5 inspection rating. Its 12 deficiencies include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in April 2026. Nonprofit corporate ownership is worth noting as you weigh the numbers.

St Anthony Community Care Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.43 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 19% below its own weekday levels. That gap is what pulls its staffing rating down to 2 out of 5, even though its quality measures score a perfect 5 and inspections come in at 4. Turnover sits at 42%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home carries 21 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. It's a nonprofit with 124 beds and a recent December 2025 inspection. Solid care indicators, but the day-to-day coverage is the thing to ask about directly.

Courtyard of Natchitoches runs on a hospital district's dime, and the staffing shows it: 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, with turnover at 19.8%, less than half the national rate of 45.8%. That kind of retention is rare and worth noticing. The tradeoff sits on the inspection side. Forty-five deficiencies on the current record, including five tied to abuse, and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating alongside a 1-out-of-5 quality measure score. Weekend staffing drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The last inspection was January 7, 2026.

Tri-Community Nursing Center runs 108 certified beds in Palmetto under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 23% below the home's own weekday levels, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 38.5%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are somewhat more likely to stick around. The current inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related. Its last inspection was March 25, 2026, so the record is recent.

The Lodge At Lane runs on 4.68 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 21% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 40.5% is lower than the national 45.8%, a good sign that people tend to stay. Inspections back that up: a 5/5 health inspection rating, only three deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent visit dated March 2026. What tempers the picture is a 2/5 on quality measures, and weekend staffing that drops about 22% below its own weekday level, meaning care thins out on Saturdays and Sundays.
