Overview of Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation of Port Allen

Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation of Port Allen is a 125-bed skilled nursing facility in Port Allen, Louisiana, offering Behavioral/Psychiatric Services and a Rehab to Home program. The for-profit community is operated by Port Allen Care Center, LLC, and serves West Baton Rouge Parish. It accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, with roughly 90% of current residents on Medicaid — a payer mix that reflects its orientation toward long-term care.

CMS rates the facility 1 out of 5 stars overall, largely due to a 1-star Health Inspection rating. Since 2022, the facility has completed 10 inspections — nearly 54% more than the Louisiana average of 6.5 — and recorded 47 citations — nearly double the state average of 25.7.

Five of those citations were classified as critical severity, more than three times the Louisiana average of 1.1. A $131,000 federal civil money penalty was imposed in June 2024, above the state average for penalized facilities. Deficiency categories with the heaviest concentration include Resident Rights and Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation.

Staffing averages below state benchmarks on most measures. Total nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 35 minutes per resident per day — about 6% below the Louisiana average — and RN staffing is particularly thin at 12 minutes per day, compared with the state’s 19-minute average. Weekend nursing coverage drops to 2 hours and 46 minutes per resident, 15% below the state norm.

On the positive side, the facility’s occupancy is 92.2%, ranking 18th out of 189 Louisiana nursing homes and significantly above the state average of 71.8%. Short-stay outcomes show some strength: rehospitalization after an SNF stay is 20%, compared to the Louisiana average of 27.8%, and emergency department visits among short-stay residents are 37% below the state average. The facility’s amenities include a patio with a gazebo and garden boxes, as well as outdoor common areas.

The facility’s capacity and Medicaid-dominant census orient it toward long-term placement in West Baton Rouge Parish, with some short-stay rehabilitation capacity for residents whose primary coverage is Medicare or private pay. However, families should carefully review the facility’s inspection history, staffing levels, and abuse-related citations before considering placement.

Overview of Deerfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Deerfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 103-bed skilled nursing facility in Delhi, Richland County, Louisiana, offering skilled nursing, rehabilitation services, memory care, and respite care. The facility is privately owned and operated by Larry W. Pickett. It accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay.

CMS rates Deerfield at 2 stars overall, with quality measures driving the deficit — the QM rating is at 1 star, well below the Louisiana average. Staffing tells a different story: total nursing hours average 4 hours and 23 minutes per resident per day, at the state average, and physical therapist hours are more than 160% above the Louisiana benchmark — meaningful for a facility oriented toward post-acute rehabilitation.

Across 6 inspections since 2023, Deerfield recorded 25 total citations — nearly in line with the Louisiana average of 25.7. A $13,000 civil money penalty was issued in September 2025, and 5 of the 25 citations originated from complaint investigations rather than routine inspections.

Amenities and services include 24-hour staffing, on-site dietary services, and an activities program. The facility’s occupancy rate is below the Louisiana average of 71.8%, reflecting current bed availability.

Deerfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center’s rehabilitation capacity — above-average physical therapy hours, Medicare acceptance, and available beds — makes it suitable for short-term post-acute stays and residents requiring skilled nursing care in Delhi and Richland Parish.

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 11 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.
