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.
Luling Living Center runs 117 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder part: 16 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $38,465. No abuse-related citations appear. The most recent inspection was March 25, 2026. Quality measures score well, but that one-star health inspection result and the weekend staffing gap are what pull the overall picture down.
Jefferson Healthcare Center runs 222 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 3.13 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 17% thinner than weekdays. That shortfall shows up in the turnover rate too, 62.4% of staff leaving annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are cycling through faster than residents can get to know them. The inspection record carries 41 deficiencies, 5 of them abuse-related, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. A 2/5 inspection rating, 1/5 on quality measures, and last inspection in April 2026 round out a picture worth discussing directly with the administrator.
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.
Grand Cove runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, 3.57 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends drop about 22% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday. Turnover sits at 58.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people showing up are often new. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $29,042 in fines. Its quality measure star is 1 out of 5 and staffing 2 out of 5, though the last inspection was recent, in June 2025. Corporate-owned, 109 beds.
Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation of Morgan City runs 88 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at: 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekend coverage dropping about 20% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 50.7%, above the 45.8% national figure, which matters when aides and nurses are the people actually in the building. The inspection record is heavier than you'd want, 33 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus $109,359 in fines. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is fairly current, not stale.
Golden Age runs 175 beds in Denham Springs under limited liability ownership, and the numbers show where the strain sits. Nurse staffing of 3.31 hours per resident day trails the national average by roughly 14%, weekend coverage drops about 17% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 52.4% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current record holds 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus $8,044 in fines. Federal quality and staffing measures both sit at one star, though the health inspection rating is a three and the most recent survey came in March 2026.
The Guest House Care Center runs on 2.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 17 percent below what it manages during the week. Staff turnover sits at 55.4 percent, nearly ten points above the national figure, so residents see a rotating cast of caregivers. Inspectors wrote up 26 deficiencies on the current record, two serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one involving abuse, with $33,001 in fines across three penalties. Ownership is corporate and for-profit, and the last inspection was April 30, 2025. The federal staffing rating of 1 out of 5 reflects what those hours look like at the bedside.
Oak Woods Home for the Elderly runs on 0.80 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about a fifth of the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 30% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, one of them abuse-related, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent enough that the picture is current. Two fines totaling $18,349 have been assessed. For a 119-bed nonprofit, the direct-care hours are the concern worth pressing on when you call.
Adira Medical Resort runs on 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 13% below its own weekday numbers. The bigger problem is who's still there to work: turnover hits 86.7%, nearly double the national rate of 45.8%, which means most of the staff who cared for your relative last year are gone this year. Inspectors have logged 36 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the most recent visit was January 2026. For-profit LLC ownership hasn't been fined much, $8,281 total, but that's cold comfort when the staffing numbers look like this.
Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation of Winnsboro runs 150 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and the numbers tell a story of thin coverage and high churn. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but weekends drop about 17 percent below the home's own weekday level, meaning the days families visit most are the days with the least help. Staff turnover of 65.3 percent is well above the 45.8 percent national figure, and with 28 deficiencies on record, including three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $168,036 in fines, there's a pattern worth asking about before you tour.
Lafon Nursing Facility of the Holy Family runs 155 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.80 hours per resident day. The bigger concern is who's staying: 65.9% of staff turn over each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekends already run about 17% thinner than weekdays. Inspectors documented 34 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, along with a $156,653 fine. The last inspection was August 2025, so the picture is recent rather than stale.
St Joseph Of Harahan runs about 2.94 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: 45 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with $210,837 in fines across two penalties. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, staff turnover sits at 44%, and the last inspection was March 2026. With 206 beds, the quality and staffing ratings both land at one star out of five.
Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation of Franklin runs lean on nursing hours: 3.08 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday level. That staffing pattern earned a 1 out of 5 from CMS, and the inspection record backs it up, 31 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, plus a $176,962 fine. Turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially matching the national rate, so the problem isn't churn so much as how few hands are scheduled. The last inspection was January 7, 2026, recent enough that the findings reflect current conditions, not an old file.
Capitol House runs 132 certified beds in Baton Rouge under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, close enough that a single shift change could erase the gap. What stands out more is the churn: 67.2% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning roughly two of every three caregivers leave within a year, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday levels. Inspectors logged 25 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy. The last inspection was June 2025, so the record is recent.
St Joseph runs 130 certified beds in Monroe under for-profit partnership ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are on the staffing side. At 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 20% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Every nursing position turned over last year, against a national rate near 46%. The health inspection rating is 1 out of 5 with 44 deficiencies on record, two tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was December 11, 2025, so the picture is current.
Chateau Living Center runs 215 certified beds in Kenner under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through slowly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.04 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a fifth less hands-on time than typical, and weekends run about 12% thinner than the home's own weekdays, so coverage drops exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection history is heavy: 58 deficiencies on the current record, including three at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $159,972 and a survey as recent as July 2025. Staff turnover of 47.5% sits just above the national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that already-lean care are frequently new.
Acadia St. Landry runs on thin coverage: 3.29 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 18% lighter than weekdays. Inspectors have cited 45 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the home carries $268,528 in federal fines. Its most recent inspection was March 11, 2026, so the record is current. The limited liability company that owns it operates for profit, and every CMS rating category, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, currently sits at one star out of five.
White Oak Post Acute Care in Baton Rouge carries 84 deficiencies on its current record, ten of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. CMS has fined the home five times for a total of $616,151, and it currently sits in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for the homes with the most persistent problems. Staffing runs 3.33 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover hits 68.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure. For-profit, LLC-owned, 176 beds, inspected most recently in December 2025.
Legacy Nursing At St. Christina runs 140 certified beds in Pineville under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers tell the story before anything else does. At 3.23 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 20% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record backs that up: 61 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, eleven tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $646,937. Staff turnover of 48.1% edges past the national 45.8%. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at one out of five, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026.
Colonial Oaks is owned by a limited liability company and carries 21 deficiencies on its current record, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of persistent problems. Nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. Annual turnover runs 72.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent. A $66,170 fine is on record, and the last inspection was June 5, 2025. With 120 certified beds, that staffing and turnover picture matters across every shift.
