Our read on Legacy Nursing And Rehabilitation Of Plaquemine
Nurse staffing at Legacy runs 2.95 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 18% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage matters more when you look at the inspection record: 49 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with $245,413 in fines across three penalties. Turnover sits at 36.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though steady retention can't offset a floor that's short-staffed to begin with. The last inspection was January 29, 2026, so the record is current. It's a 151-bed for-profit LLC.
