Nursing time here averages 4 hours and 19 minutes per resident each day. That figure is spread across everyone in the census rather than tied to a single bed. The home itself has 109 beds and sits in Opelousas, Louisiana. Skilled nursing runs throughout, with licensed nurses on site at all hours. Memory care is offered in a secured, supervised setting for residents who may be at risk of wandering. Often the person who needs it has a wife at home who stopped going anywhere alone once the wandering started, and the secured unit is what hands that life back. Hospice care serves residents receiving end-of-life care, where a family’s job shifts from arranging the next treatment to being present for what is happening.
Short-term rehabilitation covers a temporary stay after an illness, an injury, or a hospitalization. One hundred seven of the 109 beds were occupied at the last count, and 98 percent is full enough that bed availability belongs in the conversation before a discharge date gets set.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted. Medicare helps cover short‑term skilled care after a hospital stay. Medicaid steps in when savings cannot stretch far enough for a long stay. Private funds can be used directly when neither payer applies. The area scores 67 for walking, which counts as moderately walkable. That means some destinations like shops, services, and cafés are within reach on foot for residents who no longer drive, though not everything will be. Opelousas Healthcare Properties operates the home.
