Ponchatoula Community Care Center runs a nonprofit home of 140 beds, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than most: 4.18 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 35.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters because stable aides know the residents. The two five-star inspection and quality ratings back that up, and its most recent inspection was August 2025. Two things keep it from the top tier. Weekend staffing drops about 18% below weekday levels, so care thins out when families visit. And while none of the 10 deficiencies on record reached harm or jeopardy, two are abuse-related, a category worth asking about directly.

Hammond Nursing Home runs lean on nursing hours, 3.47 per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends get thinner still, about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays. What stands out is retention: 16.4% annual turnover against a 45.8% national average means the aides and nurses here mostly stay, which matters more for daily care than a slightly low staffing number. The trade-off shows up in the inspection record: 15 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and one $8,018 fine. A recent January 2026 inspection and a 4-star health inspection rating suggest those problems aren't currently the whole story.

The Lodge At Tangi Pines runs 100 certified beds in Amite under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. That's the strongest part of the picture. The weaker parts: weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 49.6%, above the 45.8% national figure.
The inspection record carries 19 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Two fines total $127,180, and the most recent inspection was April 15, 2026. Quality measures scored 2 out of 5 stars. Staffing is genuinely better than average here, but the abuse-related findings and harm-level deficiencies are what a family should ask about directly before deciding.

Landmark Nursing Center Hammond runs 150 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover is closing in on half its staff each year, above the national rate. Those staffing numbers earned a 4-star CMS rating, yet the inspection record tells a different story: 11 deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $175,997. Both the health inspection and quality measure ratings land at 2 stars. The last inspection was January 22, 2026.

Belle Maison runs about 3.49 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip another 16% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 49.6%, a few points above the national figure. The good news: 15 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent July 2025 inspection and a 4-star health inspection rating. The 1-star quality measure rating is the weak spot, and it's worth asking what's driving that before you decide.

Heritage Healthcare of Hammond runs about 3.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 15% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits near the national rate, so the problem isn't churn, it's how few hours are on the floor to begin with. On inspections, the record shows 31 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $13,715 fine and a May 2025 inspection. The quality measure score is the lowest CMS assigns. Limited liability ownership and a for-profit structure don't explain the numbers, but they don't soften them either.
