Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Louisiana

Louisiana operates 266 CMS-certified nursing homes included in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 2.5 of 5 stars.

The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with documented limitations. The ratings presented here reflect data from May 2026 and should not be construed as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. The Five-Star system represents one input among many factors that warrant consideration when evaluating a nursing home. Location, the specific type of care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with facility staff and clinical personnel all play significant roles in the selection process.

Each facility's overall rating, health-inspection rating, and staffing rating are displayed to provide a comprehensive snapshot of performance across these dimensions. Prospective residents and their families should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making decisions based on the Five-Star scores presented here.

How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
