Overview of Heritage Manor West

At 63.9% occupancy across 140 beds, Heritage Manor West is running well below capacity. That detail matters for families trying to read the facility quickly: it means availability is likely, and it points to a community where demand is not overwhelming the care staff.

The clinical footprint is broad: skilled nursing anchors the model, with short-term rehabilitation, wound care, memory care, and hospice all confirmed on the profile. Hydrotherapy is available on-site, alongside a rehabilitation gym, salon, and spa. Total nursing time is 3 hours and 59 minutes per resident per day. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, operated by Lena Heritage LLC out of Shreveport.

Average length of stay is 218 days, which tracks with a facility that handles both post-acute admissions and longer-term placements. The “Who this home usually serves” section describes it as a mix of rehab and long-term care, and the payment mix confirms that: Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all active pathways.

Religious services, an on-site activity calendar, and an active resident council are part of the daily structure. Nurse aide training happens on-site as well. The neighborhood Walk Score is 35, so transportation will generally be needed for outside appointments.

Heritage Manor West is a mid-size Shreveport nursing facility with broad clinical coverage and room to spare, suited to both short post-hospital stays and longer placements where memory care or hospice access matters.
