Operated by Joel Stewart and run by administrator Travis Corsell, The Pines Retirement Center is a 45-bed nursing home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Built 14 years ago as a one-story facility on Old Hammond Highway, it offers a care continuum: nursing home, assisted living, and independent living in studio and one-bedroom layouts. To create multiple pathways for family financing, Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted.
The facility functions primarily as a post-acute and short-term rehabilitation community. The average resident stay is 145 days, with the majority of new admissions coming through Medicare for short-term recovery instead of long-term placement. Current occupancy stands at 55 percent, with 25 residents occupying the 45 certified beds. This short-stay model is reflected in staffing: nurses provide 4 hours 34 minutes of care per resident daily, ranked 30th out of 199 nursing homes in Louisiana for nursing hours per resident, delivered by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nurse aides, and therapy personnel. Physical therapy and occupational therapy services exist on-site to bolster rehabilitation goals. Daily life includes fitness and recreation programming, and occupants can join an active resident council that meets regularly to discuss care quality and facility policies. The home welcomes pets and provides transportation services, which is beneficial given the facility’s car-dependent location (Walk Score of 21).
The best way to assess therapy programs, daily routines, and how the staffing level matches your loved one’s recovery needs is for families considering The Pines Retirement Center for post-acute rehabilitation or short-term nursing care to visit on-site.

As a nursing home, Savannah at the Oaks delivers skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services to occupants in a residential setting.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Louisiana
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Louisiana?
Assisted living in Louisiana supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Louisiana?
Assisted living in Louisiana is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Louisiana Medicaid cover assisted living?
Louisiana Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Louisiana) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 117 assisted living facilities in Louisiana. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Louisiana?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Louisiana, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Louisiana?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
