Homes where the federal record contains at least one of the following: a CMS abuse icon, Special Focus
Facility status or candidacy, or a citation scored at actual harm or immediate jeopardy. Ordered with
Special Focus homes first.
Read this as a prompt, not a verdict. A citation can be years old and the management
responsible may have gone. It means you ask what happened and what changed, and you get a specific answer
before you sign anything.
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.
Lakeshore Manor runs on 2.90 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 24% below what the building manages Monday through Friday. Staff turnover sits at 56.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 44 deficiencies, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $259,803. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the poorest performers. A for-profit LLC owns the 110-bed building; its most recent inspection was December 10, 2025. If you're considering this one, ask what the correction plan actually looks like.
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.
Town & Country Health & Rehab runs 124 certified beds in Minden under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, with weekends running roughly 17% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is the real problem: 12 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single CMS fine that reached $322,647. Staff turnover is 22.6%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests the workforce here is comparatively stable. So you're looking at a home where the people side holds up, but the state's most recent look, in May 2025, turned up serious findings.
Oak Haven runs 104 beds in Center Point, under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average of 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, but weekends drop about 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 37 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and three fines totaling $44,606. Turnover runs 46.8%, slightly above the national figure. The quality measure stars look good on paper, but that score reflects resident assessments, not the state surveyor findings that landed five citations at the harm level.
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.
Pilgrim Manor runs on about 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends drop another 12% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage sits behind a staffing rating of 1 out of 5, and it shows up in the workforce itself: 69.3% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record carries 22 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and two tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $186,253. The most recent inspection was February 25, 2026. This for-profit, limited-liability operation holds a 1-star health inspection rating despite a middling 3-star quality measure score.
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.
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.
Villa Feliciana Chronic Disease is state-run and holds 299 certified beds in Jackson. Its nurse staffing sits at 2.77 hours per resident day, roughly 28 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 16 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 69.7 percent a year, well above the national 45.8 percent, which means the people caring for residents are, on average, new to the building. The inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse, with $456,518 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was January 2026.
St. Francisville Nursing and Rehab runs on 2.85 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 60.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 23 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and four tied to abuse, plus $112,896 in fines. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale.
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.
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.
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.
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.
