Lady Of The Oaks runs 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 52.9% against a national 45.8%, so nearly half the nursing staff left within a year, a problem that shows up in a staffing star rating of 1 out of 5, even though the state's June 2025 inspection earned 4 out of 5 stars. Twenty-one deficiencies are on the current record, none rising to harm or jeopardy, but one is abuse-related. For-profit, LLC-owned, 137 beds. The inspection looks fine; the daily staffing math is where the risk lives.

Heritage Manor South runs 145 beds in Shreveport under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits a little thin, 3.72 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That gap is small, but weekends tell a bigger story: coverage drops roughly 18% below the home's own weekday level, and half the staff turns over each year, worse than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the most recent visit was January 2026. Quality measure scores land at 2 of 5 stars, softer than its inspection and staffing marks.

Amelia Manor runs 151 certified beds in Lafayette under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.28 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real strength, though weekends dip about 16% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage isn't even across the week. Annual turnover is 58.6% against a national 45.8%, which means many of the people providing that care are new. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one abuse-related, and the last inspection was April 2026. The 4/5 inspection rating reflects that recent look, while the 2/5 quality measure rating points to clinical outcomes that don't match the staffing numbers.

Forest Manor runs 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a hair above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday staffing, and that gap matters when a resident needs help on a Saturday. Annual turnover sits at 52.2% against a national 45.8%, so roughly half the nursing staff leaves each year. The health inspection record is genuinely good, 4 of 5 stars, last inspected February 2026, 15 deficiencies with just one at harm level and none tied to abuse, plus a single $13,625 fine. The staffing star rating tells a different story than the raw hours suggest, and that tension is what pulls the overall picture down.

Princeton Place-Ruston runs about 10% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, at 3.49 hours per resident day, and weekends dip roughly 16% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters most when families visit Saturday and Sunday, since fewer hands are on deck. Staff turnover sits at 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative may not stay long. The current record shows 9 deficiencies, none rated at harm or jeopardy, though one involved abuse. Inspections are recent as of September 2025, and the health inspection rating is solid even as staffing and quality measures lag, worth asking the administrator directly how weekend coverage gets filled.

Savoy Care Center runs 3.55 nursing hours per resident per day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters more than the headline number, since weekends are when families often visit and when problems surface. Turnover sits at 40.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same aides are somewhat more likely to still be there next year. The current record shows 27 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was March 2026, so the picture is recent.

Bayside Healthcare Center runs 151 certified beds in Gretna under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.18 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters if you're visiting on a Saturday. Turnover at 41.9% is actually a touch better than the 45.8% national figure.
The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. A 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a September 2025 inspection suggest decent regulatory footing, but the 2-out-of-5 staffing and quality measure ratings point to thinner day-to-day care. Ask about weekend coverage and how those abuse deficiencies were resolved.

Hessmer Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 92 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, a five-star health inspection rating with only 10 deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or jeopardy. Two abuse-related citations are still worth asking about directly. Staffing sits at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when families tend to visit. The genuinely unusual number is turnover: 19.4% against a national average near 46%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Quality measure scores land at one star, which is where the gap between the building's inspection performance and its clinical outcomes shows up.

The Southeast Louisiana War Veterans Home in Reserve is a state-run home with just eight certified beds, which puts it in a category most families never encounter, a facility small enough that staffing and oversight work differently than at a 120-bed nursing home. Its federal inspection record is clean where it matters: three deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and a September 2025 inspection that's still recent. The staffing picture is where it separates from the national average, and that gap is what holds the grade down despite the strong survey results. For a veteran-eligible family, the inspection history is reassuring; just go in understanding what eight beds means for daily coverage.

Northeast La War Veterans Home is a small state-run home in Monroe, just 8 certified beds, which is closer to a group residence than a typical nursing facility. Its last inspection was in March 2026, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions, and the inspection history shows 8 deficiencies with none rising to actual harm or jeopardy. One abuse-related citation is on the record, which is worth asking about directly. With so few residents, staffing ratios can swing widely from week to week, so ask how many direct-care hours each resident actually gets and who covers nights and weekends.

The Louisiana War Veterans Home in Jackson is a ten-bed state-run home, and its inspection record looks nearly spotless, a single deficiency on the books, nothing at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse finding, and a fresh survey from December 2025. The problem sits elsewhere. Federal staffing numbers put this home at the bottom of the national range, which is what pulls its overall picture down despite the clean inspections. With only ten beds, one aide calling out can change the whole day, so that thin staffing number matters more here, not less. State ownership means public accountability, but it doesn't guarantee enough hands on the floor. Ask directly how many staff are present on evenings and weekends before you decide.

Capital Oaks runs lean on nursing hours, 3.45 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, about 7% below its own weekday coverage. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 16 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, three tied to abuse. Federal fines total $158,019 across two penalties, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. Staff turnover of 32.9% actually sits below the national rate of 45.8%, so the home isn't losing caregivers unusually fast, the problem looks more like how many are scheduled and how the place performs when inspectors show up. For-profit, LLC-owned, 123 beds.

Colonial Manor runs 105 certified beds in Rayville under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just above the national average at 3.96 nurse hours per resident day. But that average hides a gap: weekends run about 17% leaner than weekdays, and turnover hits 53.8% against a 45.8% national rate, so the faces change often. The inspection record is where the real weight sits, 24 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $15,019 and a January 2026 inspection. CMS scored quality measures 1 out of 5 and health inspections 2 out of 5.

The Ellington runs 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.7% is better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, so the people caring for residents are staying longer than at most homes. Weekends are the soft spot: staffing drops roughly 17% below the home's own weekday level. Twenty-three deficiencies sit on the current record, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with $29,007 in fines and a 3-out-of-5 inspection rating. Quality measures score 1 out of 5, meaning clinical outcomes lag even where staffing looks adequate. The last inspection was August 6, 2025, so the picture is recent. If you visit, ask what happens on Saturdays and Sundays.

The Gardens and Guardian runs a lean ship on inspection day, a five-star health inspection record with fourteen deficiencies and none serious enough to cause harm or draw an abuse citation, which is genuinely uncommon and worth noting. The staffing number looks strong on paper at 5.42 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, but that figure masks real instability: weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below weekday levels, and 62.5% of staff turn over annually against a national norm closer to 46%. Quality measures sit at two stars despite the clean inspections, which suggests the care being documented doesn't match the care being delivered, likely a consequence of a constantly rotating workforce at a 60-bed for-profit LLC.

Lexington House runs 130 beds in Alexandria under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.99 nurse hours per resident day. That margin shrinks on weekends, which run about 11% leaner than weekdays, and turnover is 47.9%, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure. The bigger issue is the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $9,945 fine. CMS rates its health inspections 2 out of 5 and its quality measures just 1 out of 5, even though staffing earns a 3. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the record is current.

Winnfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 124 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so families visiting on Saturdays and Sundays may notice thinner coverage. Turnover lands at 45.1%, essentially matching the national 45.8%, which is neither a red flag nor a selling point. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, with a 2/5 health inspection rating and 1/5 on quality measures. The last survey was January 14, 2026, so that record is recent.

Avalon Place runs 113 certified beds in Monroe under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 10% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover hits 50%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so consistent caregivers are harder to keep. The current inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one abuse-related, and the most recent survey was December 3, 2025. CMS rates quality measures 1 out of 5 stars and staffing 2 out of 5, against a middle 3 for health inspections.

Green Meadow Haven runs 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86, and the gap widens on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 19% below its own weekday level. That thin weekend coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at the lowest tier, and in a quality measure score near the bottom. Inspectors cited 11 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,278. The most recent inspection was in August 2025, so the record is fairly fresh. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture.

Quality measures scored 2 of 5 stars.
