How independently owned homes in Louisiana compare
This group set against every nursing home in Louisiana, from the current CMS release.
Villa Feliciana Chronic Disease is state-run and holds 299 certified beds in Jackson. Its nurse staffing sits at 2.77 hours per resident day, roughly 28 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 16 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 69.7 percent a year, well above the national 45.8 percent, which means the people caring for residents are, on average, new to the building. The inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse, with $456,518 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was January 2026.
Ferncrest Manor Living Center is a 200-bed for-profit home in New Orleans, and the federal numbers are rough across the board. Its staffing rating sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and the inspection record shows 60 deficiencies, including six at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, plus eight tied to abuse. Three fines total $402,870, which tells you regulators found problems serious enough to penalize repeatedly. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record is current, not stale. With quality measures also below average and an LLC ownership structure, a family considering this home should ask direct questions about direct-care hours per resident and how abuse allegations get investigated.
Colfax Nursing and Rehab runs 140 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.86 hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops another 6 percent below what the home provides on weekdays, so the quietest shifts are also the thinnest. Annual turnover hits 69.4 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the aides and nurses you'd meet this year likely won't be there next year. The current record carries 45 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was August 27, 2025.
Heritage Manor in Bossier City runs on 2.99 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday levels. Annual turnover is 58.7% against a national average of 45.8%. The inspection record is the harder part: 69 deficiencies, two tied to harm or jeopardy, four abuse-related, and $73,487 in fines, all of which landed the home in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. The most recent inspection was August 2025.
Maison De Lafayette runs 189 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 74.2% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. On the current inspection record there are 47 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse.
Jena Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a for-profit LLC with 108 certified beds, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day. That small gap matters less than the pattern around it: weekend staffing drops about 9% below weekday levels, and annual turnover runs 60.5% against a national average of 45.8%. The inspection record is harder to explain away, 52 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $53,231. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 1 out of 5.
Fair City Health and Rehab runs 121 certified beds in Franklinton under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its federal record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 20% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover hits 47.5%, slightly above the national rate, while the inspection history shows 26 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Three fines total $198,912, and the most recent inspection was March 18, 2026. If you're weighing this one for someone in your family, those are the facts to bring to a visit.
Rosewood Nursing Center runs about 3.34 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 52.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are cycling through faster than residents can get to know them. On the current record: 20 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and $47,585 in fines across three penalties. The last inspection was March 4, 2026. For-profit, limited liability ownership, 150 beds.
Town & Country Health & Rehab runs 124 certified beds in Minden under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, with weekends running roughly 17% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is the real problem: 12 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single CMS fine that reached $322,647. Staff turnover is 22.6%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests the workforce here is comparatively stable. So you're looking at a home where the people side holds up, but the state's most recent look, in May 2025, turned up serious findings.
Luling Living Center runs 117 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder part: 16 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $38,465. No abuse-related citations appear. The most recent inspection was March 25, 2026. Quality measures score well, but that one-star health inspection result and the weekend staffing gap are what pull the overall picture down.
Grand Cove runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, 3.57 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends drop about 22% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday. Turnover sits at 58.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people showing up are often new. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $29,042 in fines. Its quality measure star is 1 out of 5 and staffing 2 out of 5, though the last inspection was recent, in June 2025. Corporate-owned, 109 beds.
Oak Woods Home for the Elderly runs on 0.80 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about a fifth of the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 30% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, one of them abuse-related, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent enough that the picture is current. Two fines totaling $18,349 have been assessed. For a 119-bed nonprofit, the direct-care hours are the concern worth pressing on when you call.
Adira Medical Resort runs on 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 13% below its own weekday numbers. The bigger problem is who's still there to work: turnover hits 86.7%, nearly double the national rate of 45.8%, which means most of the staff who cared for your relative last year are gone this year. Inspectors have logged 36 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the most recent visit was January 2026. For-profit LLC ownership hasn't been fined much, $8,281 total, but that's cold comfort when the staffing numbers look like this.
Lafon Nursing Facility of the Holy Family runs 155 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.80 hours per resident day. The bigger concern is who's staying: 65.9% of staff turn over each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekends already run about 17% thinner than weekdays. Inspectors documented 34 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, along with a $156,653 fine. The last inspection was August 2025, so the picture is recent rather than stale.
Acadia St. Landry runs on thin coverage: 3.29 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 18% lighter than weekdays. Inspectors have cited 45 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the home carries $268,528 in federal fines. Its most recent inspection was March 11, 2026, so the record is current. The limited liability company that owns it operates for profit, and every CMS rating category, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, currently sits at one star out of five.
Natchitoches Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 98 certified beds, and the numbers behind its record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 16% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 66.7% a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. On the inspection side, 65 deficiencies are on record, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with four fines totaling $616,611 and a March 2026 inspection. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.
Farmerville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on 3.06 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage drops another fifth below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 69.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the aides and nurses caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, including one at the level of actual harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse, with $19,667 in fines and a survey completed in June 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, 117 beds, and low marks across staffing and quality measures round out the picture.
