What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

  • Nursing staff turnover of 78%

    High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.

Our read on Evangeline Oaks Guest House

Evangeline Oaks runs 190 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers look fine at first glance, 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average. But that average hides a lot: weekend staffing drops about 14% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 78.2% against a national rate of 45.8%. The inspection record is harder to explain away. Sixty-three deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, and CMS rated all three of its star categories, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, at 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was May 2025. When every domain comes back at the bottom, the pattern matters more than any single number.
