How non-profit homes in Louisiana compare
This group set against every nursing home in Louisiana, from the current CMS release.
Presbyterian Village Of Homer runs 79 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staff turnover sits at 34.1 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, people tend to stay here longer than at the typical home. The tradeoff shows up in the numbers: CMS gives staffing only 1 out of 5 stars, and quality measures come in at 2 out of 5, while the health inspection rating is a solid 4 out of 5. Thirteen deficiencies are on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. The most recent inspection was May 29, 2025. Low turnover and recent, cleaner inspections are real strengths, but staffing depth and quality measures are where the weak spots sit.
Calcasieu Community Care Center runs 4.42 nursing hours per resident per day, about 14% above the national average, and it's a nonprofit, which usually signals steadier ownership than the for-profit chains. But the staffing thins out on weekends, dropping roughly 19% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't as even as the headline number suggests. The inspection record carries 33 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the last survey was recent enough to reflect current conditions. Turnover sits at 48.5%, a few points above the national rate, which matters for how well staff know the residents.
Our Lady of Wisdom runs a nonprofit shop with 138 beds, and the nurse staffing number is genuinely above average, 4.24 hours per resident day, about 10% more than the national figure. The catch is consistency: weekends run roughly 17% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover sits at 51.8%, higher than the 45.8% national rate. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse. The last full inspection was June 2025, so the picture is current. Decent care hours and a recent look from regulators, but the weekend dip and that harm-level count are what a family should ask about directly.
Willow Wood runs about 120 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurses put in 4.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent more than the national average of 3.86. That sounds solid until you look at how the hours land: weekend staffing drops about 17 percent below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 50.4 percent against a national 45.8 percent. The current inspection record carries 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $40,248 fine. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the picture is fairly current. Generous weekday coverage, thinner weekends, and a long deficiency list are the real story here.
Pelican Pointe runs 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the 3.86 national average, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the small overall shortfall, because weekends are when problems tend to surface. Annual turnover sits at 61.7% against a national 45.8%, so nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaves each year, that's a lot of retraining and unfamiliar faces.
The inspection record is cleaner than those numbers suggest: 21 deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related. State inspectors were last in on October 1, 2025, and the home scores well on inspections and quality measures. The weak spot sits squarely with staffing.
Southwind runs about 3.73 nursing hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 20% below what the home staffs on weekdays, that's when families tend to visit and when problems often surface. Turnover sits at 39.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the harder read: 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in September 2025. Quality and staffing measures both come in at 2 out of 5 stars. As a nonprofit, there's no ownership profit motive to weigh, but the numbers themselves carry the story.
Chateau De Notre Dame runs 171 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurses put in 4.12 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86, which is a real point in its favor. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 19% below weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 28 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Staff turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate, so retention isn't the problem here; the survey history is.
The Encore in Crowley runs a nonprofit shop with 73 beds, and its health inspection record is genuinely solid, a 4-out-of-5 star rating from CMS, with the most recent survey in July 2025. What pulls it down is staffing stability. The home reports 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, which sounds fine on paper. But turnover sits at 60.8% against a national average of 45.8%, and weekend staffing dips about 14% below its own weekday level. Twenty-eight deficiencies are on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly.
Willis-Knighton Extended Care Center is small, 24 certified beds, and it's run by a nonprofit corporation, which tends to mean the money goes back into the building rather than out to shareholders. Inspectors gave it a clean recent look, with two deficiencies on record and none involving harm or abuse, and the state visited in March 2025. The trouble sits in staffing: that star rating is 1 out of 5, and in a 24-bed home there's little cushion when someone calls in sick. Quality measures land in the middle. A strong inspection record with thin staffing isn't unusual, but it's worth asking how many aides are actually on the floor at night.
Ollie Steele Burden Manor is a 174-bed nonprofit home run by a church group in Baton Rouge, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 16% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips exactly when families tend to visit. The 20 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, which matters, and the most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current. What pulls the quality measure rating down to 1 out of 5 is worth asking about directly, since that reflects resident outcomes rather than paperwork.
Terrebonne General's skilled unit is tiny, six beds, run by a nonprofit, and its last inspection in February 2026 found ten deficiencies, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, though two were abuse-related. That's a lot of paperwork for a six-bed operation, and it's why the inspection record looks better than the overall picture. The quality measure side is the real drag: residents here fare poorly on the clinical benchmarks CMS tracks nationally, and on a unit this small, even one or two residents having a bad stretch moves the numbers hard. The inspection itself is recent, which is a point in its favor. If you're considering it, ask directly what those two abuse deficiencies involved and how the unit's staffing compares to what you'd expect for skilled care.
Village Health Care At The Glen runs 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, which matters more here than the staffing star suggests. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 33.6%, well under the national 45.8%, so caregivers tend to stick around. The concerning part is the inspection record: 23 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, with a $12,735 fine. That's a lot of findings for a nonprofit, and it weighs against the decent staffing.
Eastridge runs on leaner staffing than most homes its size, 3.57 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 14% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 63.6% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and that churn shows up in a one-star staffing rating. Inspections are a different story. The most recent visit was December 2025, the health inspection rating sits at 4 of 5, and none of the 19 deficiencies on record rose to harm or jeopardy. One was abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Quality measures land at 2 of 5.
St. Jude's runs a decent number of nurse hours per resident, 4.14 a day, about 7% above the national average, so on paper there are people around. But that staff turns over at 72.1% a year against a national average near 46%, which means the faces change constantly and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain away: 53 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, eight tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $389,089. The most recent inspection was in January 2026, so the picture is current. Nonprofit ownership hasn't translated into a cleaner record here.
Good Samaritan Living Center runs 84 certified beds in Franklinton under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.84 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average of 3.86. That parity hides a real gap: weekend coverage drops roughly 23% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so care thins out exactly when families are less likely to be watching. The inspection record is heavier than the staffing number suggests, with 14 deficiencies on file including three at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $168,630. The most recent inspection was May 2026, so the picture is current.
The Broadway Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 126 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation in Lockport, and its staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, with weekends about 16% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 23 deficiencies currently on file, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $29,126. Staff turnover at 44.7% is essentially at the national average, so retention isn't the outlier here. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is where the clinical picture looks weakest, and that's separate from the staffing and inspection scores.
Tioga Community Care Center runs 154 certified beds in Pineville under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real strength. But weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 64.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaves each year. The current record carries 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Quality measures score 1 out of 5 stars. The most recent inspection was July 23, 2025.
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.
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.
