Every Medicare-certified nursing home in Louisiana, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
6 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Chateau St. James runs on thinner staffing than most homes in the country, 3.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 19% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. That gap matters more than any single number, because it's the stretch when families aren't visiting and residents need the most hands-on help. The inspection record is genuinely solid: 20 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. So you're looking at a home that passes its health inspections but runs a limited-liability, for-profit operation with a thin staffing margin. Ask what weekend coverage actually looks like on the unit your relative would live on.
New Iberia Manor South runs on thin staffing, 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, under the national average, with weekends about 9% leaner than weekdays. That matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and fewer hands are on the floor. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 46 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $8,169 fine. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a matching 1 for quality measures point to problems that show up across surveys, not one bad day. Staff turnover at 44.4% is roughly in line with the national rate, so retention isn't the outlier here. The last inspection was July 2025, so the record is recent.
Heritage Manor of Baton Rouge II runs 144 beds under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, under the national average, with weekends running roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage gaps show up when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 60.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. On the inspection side, 33 deficiencies are on record, including six at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $61,591 and a survey dated March 5, 2026. Ask about weekend coverage and how they keep experienced aides.
Deerfield Nursing And Rehabilitation Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, and the numbers show it. Nurses provide about 3.36 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends dip about 12% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so a Saturday shift is the leanest stretch of the week. Turnover sits at 56.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves in a year. The inspection record backs that up: 25 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and one abuse-related, plus a $8,281 fine.
Mid City Community Nursing and Rehab runs 184 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing is the first thing to look at: 3.14 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 19% below. Weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 47.7%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The inspection history is the strongest part of the record, a 4-out-of-5 star rating with the most recent survey in April 2026. But there are 22 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus a $44,090 fine. Quality measures come in at 2 stars.
Eastridge runs on leaner staffing than most homes its size, 3.57 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 14% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 63.6% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and that churn shows up in a one-star staffing rating. Inspections are a different story. The most recent visit was December 2025, the health inspection rating sits at 4 of 5, and none of the 19 deficiencies on record rose to harm or jeopardy. One was abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Quality measures land at 2 of 5.
Pointe Coupee Healthcare runs 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday staffing. The health inspection side looks steadier at 3 out of 5 stars, but quality measures sit at 1 star, and the record shows 18 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, along with one fine of $17,345. Staff turnover is 30%, which is actually well below the 45.8% national figure, so the problem here isn't churn so much as how few hands are on deck at any given time.
Legacy Nursing And Rehabilitation Of Pollock runs 103 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record deserve a close look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends run about 18% thinner than weekdays, so the weakest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 53.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the caregiver workforce turns over in a year. On the inspection side, 27 deficiencies are on record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated October 2025.
Chateau Napoleon Caring runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average. Weekends drop about 21% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The 1/5 staffing and quality measure ratings line up with those numbers, and annual turnover at 50% runs above the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are changing often. Sixty deficiencies sit on the current record, seven tied to abuse, with no harm-level citations. The last inspection was September 24, 2025, so the record is recent rather than stale.
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.
Maison D'acadiens runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes nationally, 3.37 hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends get even tighter, dropping roughly a fifth below what the building staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 50.8%, with about half the nursing staff leaving each year, which matters more when there's less margin to absorb it. The inspection side looks different: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and a recent survey from June 2025. Quality measures and staffing both came in at 1 out of 5, so the gap between how the place inspects and how it's staffed is the real story here.
Grace Nursing Home runs on 3.20 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below what the home itself staffs during the week. Turnover sits at 46%, right in line with the national figure, so the concern here isn't churn so much as raw coverage. The record shows 36 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, plus $48,357 in fines across two penalties. A December 2025 inspection is recent, which helps, but with 128 beds and corporate for-profit ownership, ask specifically how they cover weekends and what changed after those harm-level findings.
Kaplan Healthcare Center runs on 3.28 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday levels. The 28 deficiencies on its current record include two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $34,508 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover sits at 47.7%, slightly above the national figure, and the last inspection was December 3, 2025. Ownership is corporate for-profit. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5. That combination of thin weekend coverage, high turnover, and serious deficiency findings is what drives the low grade.
Gonzales Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 7 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping roughly 11 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 43.5 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here. The inspection record is. Fifty-one deficiencies are on file, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and 22 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $92,032 and the most recent inspection dated May 2025. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating alongside a 2-out-of-5 quality measure rating tells you where the trouble concentrates.
St. Jude's runs a decent number of nurse hours per resident, 4.14 a day, about 7% above the national average, so on paper there are people around. But that staff turns over at 72.1% a year against a national average near 46%, which means the faces change constantly and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain away: 53 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, eight tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $389,089. The most recent inspection was in January 2026, so the picture is current. Nonprofit ownership hasn't translated into a cleaner record here.
The Oaks Care Center in Pineville runs lean on nursing staff, 3.25 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 49.5%, above the 45.8% national figure, and the 14 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding but nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level. Its inspection history is genuinely strong, though: a 5/5 health inspection rating and a visit as recent as January 2026. The tension between clean inspections and thin day-to-day staffing is worth weighing, ask how many nurses are actually on the floor on a Saturday.
Ouachita Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 167 certified beds in Monroe under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot. At 3.33 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 14 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13 percent below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 42.2 percent is slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the 26 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation but none flagged at harm or jeopardy level. A single fine of $31,844 and a recent April 2026 inspection round out the picture.
Landmark of Rayne runs 130 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers tell the real story. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 26% below the home's own weekday level, so the care you'd observe on a Tuesday isn't what a Saturday looks like. Staff turnover is 70.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new. Inspections in April 2025 produced 26 deficiencies, none at harm level but one abuse-related, and CMS gave 2 out of 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike.
Camelot Rehabilitation at Magnolia Park runs 4.06 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86, so the raw staffing number looks fine at first glance. The trouble sits underneath it: weekend staffing drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 62.7% against a national average of 45.8%, which is a lot of churn for a 160-bed for-profit LLC. CMS gave it one star for staffing and two for health inspections, with 33 deficiencies on the current record, none flagged as harm, jeopardy, or abuse. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is recent.
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.
