What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5
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)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, facility-wide · Feb 9, 2024 · F-0678 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide basic life support, such as CPR, before emergency medical help arrived — care that's required when it matches the doctor's orders and the resident's own written wishes.
Why it matters: In a cardiac or breathing emergency, failure to start CPR promptly can be the difference between life and death.
Severity (L): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation existed throughout the facility. The single most serious citation CMS can issue.
Corrected: Mar 11, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, facility-wide · Feb 9, 2024 · F-0835
The facility was not managed in a way that uses its money, staff, and resources effectively and efficiently to care for residents.
Why it matters: Poor administration often shows up as understaffing, supply shortages, and care problems across the whole facility.
Severity (L): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation existed throughout the facility. The single most serious citation CMS can issue.
Corrected: Mar 11, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Feb 9, 2024 · F-0925
The facility did not maintain an effective pest control program to prevent or deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
Why it matters: Pests spread germs, contaminate food, and signal broader problems with cleanliness.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Mar 11, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Feb 9, 2024 · 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 (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Mar 11, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Apr 4, 2024 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
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: Apr 30, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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) | 2.73 | 4.04 | 3.95 | bottom 2% in Louisiana; bottom 7% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.11 | 0.32 | 0.69 | bottom 5% in Louisiana; bottom 1% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.25 | 3.45 | 3.50 | bottom 2% in Louisiana; bottom 4% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.10 | 0.20 | 0.48 | bottom 15% in Louisiana; bottom 1% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 36.5 | 47.6 | 45.8 | top 18% in Louisiana; top 28% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 0.0 | 41.6 | 42.9 | — |
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 2.95, RN 0.12, weekend 2.43. Staffing rating: 1/5.
Self-reported quality measures
