Overview of Metairie Health Care Center

Metairie Health Care Center is located on Riverside Drive in Metairie, Louisiana, a residential area just west of New Orleans. Metairie Operations LLC runs this 202-bed home, which handles billing through standard methods like Medicare, Medicaid, and private funds. The surrounding street layout scores a 42 for walkability, so family members and visitors will generally need a car to get around and run errands.

A typical stay here lasts around 183 days. This timeline shapes the daily routine, blending short-term rehab for people recovering from surgery or hospital stays with ongoing care for permanent residents. The nursing team covers the floor around the clock, averaging about four hours of direct care for each resident every day. They have the medical setup to manage complex tasks on-site, including IV therapy, wound healing, physician-directed care, and secure memory tracking in the specialized Serenity Trace unit.

The building features semi-private rooms, an integrated security system, and free Wi-Fi to keep residents connected with family. To save people from stressful trips out to local clinics, the building has its own lab work and X-ray services, alongside a facility van for off-site appointments. Every day, the crew looks after all room cleaning and personal laundry, keeping life organized around family training programs and community re-entry support.

Interested individuals can see how the home coordinates everyday medical needs, like on-site blood work, X-ray imaging, and targeted physical therapy. The community pairs these medical services with standard provisions, including secure dementia support, internet access, family involvement programs, and dedicated resident transportation.

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 8m per day ▼ 58% State avg: 19m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 1h 16m per day ▲ 7% State avg: 1h 11m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 12m per day ▼ 5% State avg: 2h 19m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day

Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 3h 8m per day ▼ 4% State avg: 3h 16m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 6m per day ▼ 57% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 28m per day
