Here are 25 Nursing Homes in E. Baton Rouge County, LA
Nursing homes across E. Baton Rouge County, Louisiana, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Central Guest House in Baton Rouge runs on 3.29 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 49.3 percent against a national 45.8, so nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspectors have logged 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a single fine of $26,790; the last inspection was March 2026. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the staffing and quality measure ratings both come in at two out of five.
Pines Retirement Center Of Baton Rouge runs a for-profit limited liability operation with 85 certified beds, and the numbers carry some weight. Nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but the weekend dips about 12% below weekday levels, and turnover is 73.5% against a national average of 45.8%, that churn matters more than the small staffing edge. Inspections tell the harder story: 68 deficiencies on record, three at the harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and a single fine of $174,993, with the most recent inspection in September 2025.
The staffing cushion doesn't offset that record. When you're comparing homes, ask specifically about the abuse deficiencies and the harm-level citations.
