Monroe’s Ouachita Healthcare Rehabilitation Center operates a 167-bed skilled nursing and hospice program from its location on Millhaven Road in Ouachita Parish, filling beds at a rate that positions it seventh statewide.
Occupancy has reached 95.1%, running 32 percentage points above Louisiana’s typical utilization benchmark and signaling reliable census stability. Current residents divide roughly as follows: 75.3% on Medicaid, 19.8% on Medicare, and 4.9% as private-pay patients. The admission pipeline draws differently; 41% arrive through Medicare (typically short-stay rehabilitation), 56% private-pay, and only 3% Medicaid.
Stays average 180 days, positioning the facility across both post-acute and prolonged care spans.
Licensed nursing hours run to 3 hours 8 minutes per resident daily, a full 24% below Louisiana’s mean and placing Ouachita 163rd of 182 state facilities. Registered nurses deliver a bare 8 minutes of direct attention per resident each day, 58% lower than the state baseline. Weekends see that RN presence collapse to 4 minutes per resident, a 69% gap from standard. Staff-to-resident ratios of 0.88:1 fall 41% short of peer capacity.
The facility budgets payroll at 33.9% of revenue (ranked 171st of 186), well below Louisiana’s typical 54–67% allocation for adequately staffed operations. This financial model underscores minimal wage investment despite high occupancy.
Long-stay preventive metrics excel: pneumococcal vaccination reaches 99.1%, influenza 100%. Hospitalizations and ED utilization run below state norms. Yet short-stay residents discharge with self-care capacity at just 32.5%, 40% worse than state averages.
A June 2024 payment denial accompanied a $32K penalty, signaling significant regulatory concern.
Ouachita Healthcare fills available beds aggressively but sustains that occupancy through low staffing investment, suited for long-term Medicaid residents and short-term private-pay rehabilitation, not for populations requiring intensive nursing oversight.
