Our read on Belle Teche Nursing & Rehab Center
Belle Teche runs 150 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely a percentage point above the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 19% below what the home staffs on weekdays, that gap matters most when families visit and when residents need help. Turnover among nurses runs 47.6%, slightly worse than the national rate, so familiar faces are not a given. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 38 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. Two out of five stars on health inspections and quality measures, with a May 2025 inspection date that at least means the record is current.
