Our read on Riverbend Nursing And Rehabilitation Center, Inc.
Riverbend runs 120 beds in Belle Chasse under corporate ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed. Nurses provide 3.72 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 41.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. On inspections, the home scores well: a 4-out-of-5 star rating and a recent September 2025 visit, with 31 deficiencies on record but none at the harm level. One is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the outlier here, the clinical data doesn't match the strong inspection showing.
