Live Oak runs on strong nurse staffing, 4.71 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its inspection and quality ratings both sit at 4 out of 5, with a recent June 2025 survey. But 17 deficiencies on record, including three tied to abuse, are worth asking about directly, even though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below weekdays, so staffing isn't evenly spread across the week. Turnover at 45.4% is essentially the national average, meaning nurse retention here is neither a strength nor a red flag. The non-profit ownership is a steadying factor. What's behind the B is solid care numbers undercut by that deficiency count and a thinner weekend floor.

Wyatt Manor runs 62 beds in Jonesboro under corporate ownership, and its last inspection was recent, March 2026. The health and quality ratings both come back strong at 4 out of 5, and that recent survey matters more than older history. But look at what's on the record: 11 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $17,275 back that up. Staffing sits at 3.69 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 46.3%, essentially matching the national rate. Good inspection marks, real problems underneath.

Louisiana Extended Care Hospital Of Lafayette runs on a small 28-bed license under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 6.05 hours per resident day, roughly 57% above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips below weekday levels, that kind of consistency matters in a building this size. The catch is turnover: 65.6% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people providing that generous staffing are cycling through quickly. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated February 2026. Quality measures look strong; inspections are mid-tier.

Baton Rouge Health Care Center runs more nurse hours per resident than most homes, 4.45 a day against a national average of 3.86, but the coverage thins out on weekends, dropping about 20% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is the real concern: 17 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and two fines adding up to $63,663, with the most recent inspection in October 2025. Staff turnover sits at 43.2%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit corporate owner doesn't change any of that. The strong quality scores and above-average staffing are real, but the harm-level deficiencies are what a family should ask about directly.

Landmark of Acadiana runs 124 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its recent inspection history is genuinely clean, 16 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. The tradeoffs show up in staffing. At 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 22% below its own weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit. Staff turnover of 36.8% is better than the national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay. Last inspected February 2026.

Zachary Manor runs 110 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That margin narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover of 51.8% tops the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026. Federal ratings land at three stars for health inspections and quality measures, four for staffing. The staffing number looks solid on paper; the turnover and weekend dip are where that advantage gets tested.

Bernice Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 126 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 15% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 37.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure and staffing stars both come in at 4 out of 5. The inspection record is where the trouble concentrates: a 1-star health inspection rating, 32 deficiencies including four at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $221,159, with the most recent inspection on March 19, 2025. Good numbers on paper don't cancel out what inspectors actually found in the building.

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.

Wynhoven runs 4.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, but weekends drop about 20% below its own weekday staffing, so the coverage your family sees Monday may not be what shows up Saturday. Annual turnover sits at 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives the home 2 out of 5 stars on health inspections, with 20 deficiencies on record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. There are no abuse citations and only one fine, $14,015. The quality measures look strong at 5 stars, though that's largely self-reported assessment data. The last inspection was April 2026.

Ringgold Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 112 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 28.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The health inspection record is strong, a 4 out of 5, with the most recent survey in July 2025. Fifteen deficiencies are on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly.

Claiborne Rehabilitation runs 70 certified beds in Homer under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing story cuts two ways. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Against that, annual turnover of 30.3% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the caregivers tend to stay. The inspection record is where things get harder: 18 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and a $65,988 fine, with the most recent inspection in September 2025.

Cornerstone Post Acute Care of Bossier runs just 7 certified beds, so you're looking at a very small operation in Bossier City. Nurse staffing sits at 9.46 hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, and the state inspection record is clean at 5 out of 5 stars with six deficiencies on file, none of them involving harm or abuse. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: staff turnover is 63.6% against a national 45.8%, weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekdays, and the quality measure score is only 2 out of 5. A recent September 2025 inspection means the picture is current.

Progressive Care Center runs 8.54 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips only about 13% below its own weekday level, modest compared to many homes. The tradeoff sits in the quality measures, which score 1 out of 5 despite the strong staffing and a 4 out of 5 inspection rating. Its 12 deficiencies include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in April 2026. Nonprofit corporate ownership is worth noting as you weigh the numbers.

Camelot Brookside runs 120 beds in Jennings under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.54 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8% under the national average, with weekends dropping roughly 16% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 44.1%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where it earns ground, 18 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent April 2026 inspection. Quality measures score well. That mix of thin daily coverage against a clean harm record is the tension here: care looks safe on paper, but the hours available to deliver it are leaner than most.

St Anthony Community Care Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.43 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 19% below its own weekday levels. That gap is what pulls its staffing rating down to 2 out of 5, even though its quality measures score a perfect 5 and inspections come in at 4. Turnover sits at 42%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home carries 21 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. It's a nonprofit with 124 beds and a recent December 2025 inspection. Solid care indicators, but the day-to-day coverage is the thing to ask about directly.

Courtyard of Natchitoches runs on a hospital district's dime, and the staffing shows it: 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, with turnover at 19.8%, less than half the national rate of 45.8%. That kind of retention is rare and worth noticing. The tradeoff sits on the inspection side. Forty-five deficiencies on the current record, including five tied to abuse, and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating alongside a 1-out-of-5 quality measure score. Weekend staffing drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The last inspection was January 7, 2026.

Tri-Community Nursing Center runs 108 certified beds in Palmetto under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 23% below the home's own weekday levels, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 38.5%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are somewhat more likely to stick around. The current inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related. Its last inspection was March 25, 2026, so the record is recent.

Weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below its own weekday level, so families should ask how that gap gets handled. Staff turnover is 38.4%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, suggesting workers tend to stick around more than at many homes. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in March 2025. Quality measure scores are the weak spot here, so ask specifically about clinical outcomes.

Old Jefferson Community Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 136 certified beds, and the inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: a five-star health inspection rating, twelve total deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse. Staffing sits at 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, though weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover lands at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national rate. Consistent direct care, not a spotless record, is what carries this home.

The Lodge At Lane runs on 4.68 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 21% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 40.5% is lower than the national 45.8%, a good sign that people tend to stay. Inspections back that up: a 5/5 health inspection rating, only three deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent visit dated March 2026. What tempers the picture is a 2/5 on quality measures, and weekend staffing that drops about 22% below its own weekday level, meaning care thins out on Saturdays and Sundays.
