What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★★5/5 · CMS overall rating: 5/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Aug 24, 2023 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Aug 25, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
All citations in the current public record (7)

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Louisiana avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 5.66 | 4.04 | 3.95 | top 3% in Louisiana; top 6% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.49 | 0.32 | 0.69 | top 8% in Louisiana; bottom 36% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.95 | 3.45 | 3.50 | top 4% in Louisiana; top 7% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.15 | 0.20 | 0.48 | top 49% in Louisiana; bottom 5% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 23.6 | 47.6 | 45.8 | top 4% in Louisiana; top 6% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 0.0 | 41.6 | 42.9 | top 1% in Louisiana; top 1% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 4.60, RN 0.39, weekend 4.03. Staffing rating: 5/5.
Self-reported quality measures
Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
Quality measures rating: 3/5 · long-stay residents: 3/5 · short-stay residents: 3/5
