Overview of Landmark South Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Landmark South Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits on Jefferson Hwy in Baton Rouge’s Saint George neighborhood, about 15.6 miles from downtown and 2.7 miles from Rise Community Hospital. The facility has been running for 41 years. It is a 144-bed nursing home offering nursing care, hospice care, memory care, and palliative care, administered by James Smith. The Walk Score is 38, so a car handles most of the practical logistics for families and visitors.

One hundred forty-two of the 144 beds are occupied, a 93.8% fill rate. The average stay is 268 days, nearly nine months, which tells you this community carries a significant long-stay population alongside whatever short-term rehabilitation volume passes through. Total nursing care runs 3 hours and 52 minutes per resident per day; registered nurses account for 16 minutes of that directly.

The clinical program covers wound care and short-term rehabilitation on the services side, with physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and respiratory therapy all available on-site. Memory care and hospice round out the specialty offerings. The facility runs a Nurse Aide Training Program on-site, which is a reasonable signal about investment in the nursing pipeline.

An Active Resident Council operates, and meals are served in an on-site dining room. Gardens, a rehabilitation gym, and a hydrotherapy spa are on the amenity list. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

The facility is a member of the Louisiana Nursing Home Association. State inspections have centered on infection prevention and control, dietary and food service, resident rights, and medication management.

For residents who need nursing care, wound management, memory care, or hospice in a high-occupancy, long-established Baton Rouge facility, Landmark South covers a wide clinical range under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Louisiana Medicaid cover memory care?

Louisiana Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?
