What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5
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 · Nov 12, 2025 · 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.
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Mar 5, 2025 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint

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) | 4.78 | 4.04 | 3.95 | top 15% in Louisiana; top 17% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.22 | 0.32 | 0.69 | bottom 33% in Louisiana; bottom 3% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.80 | 3.45 | 3.50 | top 4% in Louisiana; top 8% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.15 | 0.20 | 0.48 | top 47% in Louisiana; bottom 5% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 45.8 | 47.6 | 45.8 | top 47% in Louisiana; bottom 48% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 33.3 | 41.6 | 42.9 | top 34% in Louisiana; top 33% 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 3.67, RN 0.17, weekend 3.69. Staffing rating: 3/5.
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: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: —/5
