The Pines Retirement Center is a 45-bed nursing home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, sitting on Old Hammond Highway. It’s been open 14 years, run by administrator Travis Corsell, and offers nursing home care alongside assisted living and independent living. Single-story building, studio and one-bedroom layouts, nothing fancy in terms of footprint.
The neighborhood leans car-dependent; a Walk Score of 21 means most trips out, the pharmacy, a doctor’s office, whatever, are going to require a car rather than a walk. That’s likely part of why on-site transportation services matter here, helping residents get where they need to go without relying entirely on family or a taxi.
Occupancy sits at 55 percent, with 25 of the 45 beds filled. The stay pattern is notably short; most residents stay around 145 days on average, and the home sees frequent admissions and discharges rather than long-term placements. That short-stay rhythm shows up in the staffing too: nurse aides alone put in 2 hours and 36 minutes per resident daily, and total nursing care across RNs, LPNs, and aides adds up to 4 hours and 34 minutes per resident per day, substantial hours for a facility built around shorter stays.
Pets are allowed, and a fitness and recreation program gives residents something to do beyond their rooms. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted. The short average stay, the high daily nursing hours, and the car-dependent setting point to a facility set up for residents passing through a defined period of nursing care, not settling in long-term.
