Old Brownlee runs on 4.78 nurse hours per resident day, about a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home. That cushion matters less on weekends, when hours drop roughly 18% below the weekday pace, worth asking about if your family visits then. Staff turnover sits at 39.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning four in ten caregivers left within a year. The record shows eight deficiencies, none causing harm, though two involve abuse, which you should ask about directly. A July 2025 inspection and 4s and 5s across the federal star ratings round out a nonprofit home performing above average.

Christwood runs a small 30-bed nonprofit home in Covington, and the staffing picture is the strongest part of it: 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 12% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 35.7%, notably under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. Inspections are recent, from late January 2026, and the record shows 8 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. The quality measure score is the softer spot at 3 out of 5, so ask what specific measures are pulling that down.

Greenbriar runs on 4.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 35.6% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, that combination tends to mean caregivers who stay long enough to know the residents. Weekend staffing drops about 17% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A 5/5 inspection rating with a clean harm record and a recent October 2025 survey is a solid position. Nonprofit ownership rounds it out.

Ridgecrest Community Care Center runs a 112-bed nonprofit operation in West Monroe, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.32 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below its own weekday level, so families should ask how that gap gets handled. Staff turnover is 38.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning nearly two in five caregivers left within a year. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and the last inspection was April 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 4 out of 5.

Magnolia Manor runs 98 certified beds in Shreveport under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner still, about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on a Saturday. Turnover is the one number that stands out favorably: 29.6% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is the concern, 13 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with $36,566 in fines across three penalties and a survey completed March 4, 2026.

Ponchatoula Community Care Center runs a nonprofit home of 140 beds, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than most: 4.18 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 35.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters because stable aides know the residents. The two five-star inspection and quality ratings back that up, and its most recent inspection was August 2025. Two things keep it from the top tier. Weekend staffing drops about 18% below weekday levels, so care thins out when families visit. And while none of the 10 deficiencies on record reached harm or jeopardy, two are abuse-related, a category worth asking about directly.

Riviere De Soleil runs 4.54 nurse hours per resident per day, about 18% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in its four-star staffing and quality ratings. Turnover sits at 44.3%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, though weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The record isn't clean: 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a three-star inspection rating. That mix of strong daily staffing and a serious citation on file is what a B grade reflects here.

Garden Park runs a 160-bed for-profit operation in Shreveport, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bright spot: 30.9% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stick around longer than the typical home. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. A September 2025 inspection keeps the record current.

Mansfield Nursing Center runs on 4.07 total nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 5% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 33.3% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, both good signs for consistency of care. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage is thinner exactly when families tend to visit. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 15 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though one was abuse-related and worth asking about directly. This is a for-profit LLC with 100 certified beds, and its most recent federal inspection is on the current record.

Desoto Retirement & Rehab runs 135 certified beds in Mansfield under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds: 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, with a 27.3% turnover rate that's well below the 45.8% national figure, a relatively stable crew. Weekends dip about 12% below weekday coverage, which is typical but worth watching. The weaker side shows in two 2/5 ratings, for health inspections and quality measures, on a record of 15 deficiencies, including 2 tied to abuse. None rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was February 2025.

Trinity Trace runs on more nursing hours than most homes nationally, 4.19 per resident day against an average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 20% below its own weekday coverage, so families should ask who's actually on the floor Saturday and Sunday. The inspection record is clean where it matters: 12 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, and a survey as recent as December 2025. Turnover sits at 51.3%, above the 45.8% national figure, which is worth asking about directly. As a nonprofit with 116 beds, it isn't chasing margin, but steady leadership and weekend consistency are the open questions here.

Louisiana Extended Care Hospital Of Lafayette runs on a small 28-bed license under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 6.05 hours per resident day, roughly 57% above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips below weekday levels, that kind of consistency matters in a building this size. The catch is turnover: 65.6% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people providing that generous staffing are cycling through quickly. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated February 2026. Quality measures look strong; inspections are mid-tier.

Baton Rouge Health Care Center runs more nurse hours per resident than most homes, 4.45 a day against a national average of 3.86, but the coverage thins out on weekends, dropping about 20% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is the real concern: 17 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and two fines adding up to $63,663, with the most recent inspection in October 2025. Staff turnover sits at 43.2%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit corporate owner doesn't change any of that. The strong quality scores and above-average staffing are real, but the harm-level deficiencies are what a family should ask about directly.

Landmark of Acadiana runs 124 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its recent inspection history is genuinely clean, 16 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. The tradeoffs show up in staffing. At 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 22% below its own weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit. Staff turnover of 36.8% is better than the national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay. Last inspected February 2026.

Zachary Manor runs 110 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That margin narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover of 51.8% tops the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026. Federal ratings land at three stars for health inspections and quality measures, four for staffing. The staffing number looks solid on paper; the turnover and weekend dip are where that advantage gets tested.

Wynhoven runs 4.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, but weekends drop about 20% below its own weekday staffing, so the coverage your family sees Monday may not be what shows up Saturday. Annual turnover sits at 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives the home 2 out of 5 stars on health inspections, with 20 deficiencies on record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. There are no abuse citations and only one fine, $14,015. The quality measures look strong at 5 stars, though that's largely self-reported assessment data. The last inspection was April 2026.

Claiborne Rehabilitation runs 70 certified beds in Homer under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing story cuts two ways. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Against that, annual turnover of 30.3% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the caregivers tend to stay. The inspection record is where things get harder: 18 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and a $65,988 fine, with the most recent inspection in September 2025.

Camelot Brookside runs 120 beds in Jennings under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.54 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8% under the national average, with weekends dropping roughly 16% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 44.1%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where it earns ground, 18 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent April 2026 inspection. Quality measures score well. That mix of thin daily coverage against a clean harm record is the tension here: care looks safe on paper, but the hours available to deliver it are leaner than most.

Legrand Healthcare in Bastrop runs 125 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below its own weekday level, so families should ask how that gap gets handled. Staff turnover is 38.4%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, suggesting workers tend to stick around more than at many homes. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in March 2025. Quality measure scores are the weak spot here, so ask specifically about clinical outcomes.

Old Jefferson Community Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 136 certified beds, and the inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: a five-star health inspection rating, twelve total deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse. Staffing sits at 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, though weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover lands at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national rate. Consistent direct care, not a spotless record, is what carries this home.
