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.
Terrebonne General's skilled unit is tiny, six beds, run by a nonprofit, and its last inspection in February 2026 found ten deficiencies, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, though two were abuse-related. That's a lot of paperwork for a six-bed operation, and it's why the inspection record looks better than the overall picture. The quality measure side is the real drag: residents here fare poorly on the clinical benchmarks CMS tracks nationally, and on a unit this small, even one or two residents having a bad stretch moves the numbers hard. The inspection itself is recent, which is a point in its favor. If you're considering it, ask directly what those two abuse deficiencies involved and how the unit's staffing compares to what you'd expect for skilled care.
Cornerstone At The Ranch runs 148 certified beds in Lafayette under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 12% below its own weekday level, so the coverage gap widens exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record carries 56 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $97,417. Its last inspection was July 30, 2025, so the record is recent. If you're weighing this home, ask directly how they staff weekends and what changed after that harm-level citation.
Maison Teche runs 121 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers show a split picture. The health inspection side holds up reasonably well at three stars, with a recent survey in January 2026 and 30 deficiencies on record, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level, and none tied to abuse. Where it falls down is day-to-day care: both the staffing and quality measure ratings sit at one star, well below what you'd want for a resident with ongoing clinical needs. That combination matters more than the inspection result alone. A home can pass its survey and still be stretched thin on the floor, and that's the pattern here.
The Northwest Louisiana Veterans Home is a small state-run home in Bossier City, just 8 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely strong: a 5-star health inspection rating, with all 6 deficiencies cited at the lowest severity level and none causing harm or jeopardy. That matters. But there's a real split in the numbers. Quality measures sit at 1 out of 5 stars, the weakest tier, meaning the clinical outcomes tracked by Medicare lag well behind what most homes achieve. One abuse-related deficiency also appears on the current record, which deserves a direct question when you visit. The state inspection from April 2026 is recent enough to reflect current conditions. Small government homes can be excellent or stretched thin; here the care process looks better than the outcomes.
Resthaven Living Center runs 145 certified beds in Bogalusa under for-profit partnership ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.34 hours per resident day, about 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, the stretch when families often visit and when problems tend to surface. Annual turnover of 48.9 percent runs a few points above the national figure. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A January 2026 inspection is recent, and mid-range marks on health inspections and quality measures sit alongside the weakest staffing score. Nothing here reads as dangerous; it reads as thin coverage you'd want to ask about directly.
Haven Nursing Center runs 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday staffing, and annual turnover sits at 97.6% against a national average of 45.8%. Essentially the whole staff turns over every year. The 19 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level, though 2 are abuse-related, and the last inspection was May 2025. The quality measure rating is 1 out of 5, which is where the low overall grade comes from. A corporate-owned, 99-bed home in Columbia with decent weekday coverage but real questions about consistency.
Lake Charles Care Center runs 182 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday level, and turnover hits 51.7% against a national 45.8%.
The inspection record is the bright spot: a 4/5 health inspection rating, last survey in May 2025, with 11 deficiencies on file but none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Quality measures tell a different story at 1/5, with staffing at 2/5. So you have a home that passes inspections cleanly while running lean on direct care and posting weaker clinical quality numbers, worth asking about weekend coverage and consistent assignment before you decide.
Colonial Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 64 beds in Marksville under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers show a building stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.50 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below what the home manages on weekdays, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover hits 51.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing workforce leaves each year. The inspection record carries 21 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $21,752 in fines and a survey as recent as May 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 2 out of 5.
Belle Teche runs 150 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely a percentage point above the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 19% below what the home staffs on weekdays, that gap matters most when families visit and when residents need help. Turnover among nurses runs 47.6%, slightly worse than the national rate, so familiar faces are not a given.
The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 38 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. Two out of five stars on health inspections and quality measures, with a May 2025 inspection date that at least means the record is current.
St Frances runs 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, so the raw staffing number looks fine. The problems sit underneath it: weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, and nearly half the nursing staff turns over each year. Inspectors have logged 29 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $30,702 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was April 30, 2025, so the record is recent. The quality measure rating sits at one out of five stars, the lowest CMS gives, which means resident outcomes aren't tracking well regardless of hours logged.
Delta Grande runs lean on nursing hours, 3.18 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 13% thinner than weekdays, so the gaps land when families visit most. Annual turnover of 53.2% tops the national figure of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your relative are often new to the building and each other. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey came in April 2026. State inspectors rated the care highly; the quality and staffing measures tell a different story.
Village Health Care At The Glen runs 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, which matters more here than the staffing star suggests. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 33.6%, well under the national 45.8%, so caregivers tend to stick around. The concerning part is the inspection record: 23 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, with a $12,735 fine. That's a lot of findings for a nonprofit, and it weighs against the decent staffing.
Nurse staffing at The Oaks runs 4.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, which sounds reassuring until you notice weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 58.9% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people providing that care are changing often. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a single fine of $27,005; the last inspection was June 2025. A for-profit limited liability company owns the 125-bed home. Strong weekday staffing is real, but weekends, turnover, and that abuse count are what a family should ask about directly.
River Oaks runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.67 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage doesn't drop off from its weekday level. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 26 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with $17,388 in fines. Staff turnover sits at 45.8%, right at the national average. The quality measure rating of 5/5 suggests clinical outcomes look good on paper, but the 2/5 inspection rating tells a different story. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the record is current.
Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation of Port Allen runs 125 beds as a for-profit LLC, and its last inspection was August 27, 2025. The record behind that visit is heavy: 48 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, five tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $146,447. Nurse staffing sits at 3.24 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is 47.1%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The quality measure score looks strong, but the inspection and staffing ratings don't match it.
Mary Anna Nursing Home in Wisner runs a lean ship on staffing but has real problems elsewhere. Its 4.63 nurse hours per resident day sits about 20% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is better than many homes manage. Turnover of 17.5% is well below the national 45.8%. The trouble is care quality and oversight: CMS gives it just 1 star for quality measures and 2 for health inspections, with 14 deficiencies on record, 2 at harm or jeopardy level, 2 abuse-related, plus one fine of $19,120. Plenty of hands on deck, but the record shows they aren't always used well.
The Columns runs 140 beds in Jonesville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 18% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Annual turnover runs 50% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current inspection record carries 25 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level; the most recent survey was May 2025. Quality and staffing each earned two of five stars from CMS, inspection three.
The Woodlands Healthcare Center runs about 3.33 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 19 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 44.2 percent, statistically close to the 45.8 percent national figure, so retention isn't the standout problem here, daily staffing volume is. Inspectors logged 18 deficiencies on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last visit was September 2025. Quality and staffing star ratings both come in at 2 out of 5. It's a for-profit LLC with 152 certified beds, so ask about weekend coverage and that abuse citation directly.
Colonial Oaks runs lean on nursing hours, 3.11 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 18% below its own weekday pace. That thin coverage is the main reason its staffing rating sits at the bottom of the federal scale, even though turnover at 39.7% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none of them serious enough to cause harm and none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated May 2026. Quality measures land below average too. A for-profit LLC operation with 110 beds, this is a home where the care is present but stretched.
Allen Oaks runs 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday staffing. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 35 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a single $133,224 fine. CMS gives it 2 stars for health inspections, 2 for staffing, and 1 for quality measures. The most recent inspection was July 2, 2025, so the record is current, and this is a for-profit limited liability company operating 91 certified beds.
