Overview of Prairie Manor Nursing Home

Located in Pine Prairie, Louisiana, Prairie Manor Nursing Home has 100 beds. It accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, giving families multiple ways to cover rehabilitation and longer-term care needs. The facility’s occupancy rate is 86%. The community is nearing full capacity, reflecting steady demand for its services. Residents stay an average of 631 days, including those recovering from hospitalization and in ongoing skilled nursing care.

The home provides robust nursing support, averaging 4 hours and 51 minutes of care per resident each day. Daily staffing comprises registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides, with on-site medical oversight. That depth of clinical support is a great deal for residents recovering from acute illness or injury, or those managing complex medical needs over the longer term.

Residents benefit from dining prepared by a full-time dietary manager and registered dietitian consultant. There are buffet-style meals where residents can choose according to their preferences. Beyond meals, there’s a full range of support services, including rehabilitation therapies and beauty salon services.

Transportation to medical appointments is provided, making it easier for families who need to go for routine healthcare visits. Pine Prairie’s location has a Walk Score of 27, so some errands can be done on foot. However, most trips will require a car. The setting may suit residents and families looking for a quieter, rural community environment over a more urban location.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Total nursing care / resident Info Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
4h 51m per day
Rank #18 / 199Nurse hours — State benchmarkedThis home is ranked 18th out of 199 homes in Louisiana for Nurse Hours. Shows adjusted nurse hours per resident per day benchmarked to the Louisiana average, with a ranking across 199 Louisiana facilities. More hours mean more direct care. The national average is about 3.5 hrs; below 3.0 is a red flag.Facilities with the same value for a metric share the same rank.

vs avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs 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. 13m 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 18m 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. 3h 26m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 4h 8m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 1m per day
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
