Overview of Alpine Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation

Pmg Opco-Alpine LLC runs Alpine Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, a 144-bed facility right on North Service Road in Ruston, Louisiana. The home takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay to cover care costs. Because the location relies heavily on highway driving, family members and visitors will need a car to reach the building or run errands.

Stays here average about 139 days, showing a faster turnaround that favors short-term post-hospital therapy alongside traditional long-term care. To keep up with daily medical needs, the nursing team puts in an average of 3 hours and 15 minutes of total care per resident each day. This 24-hour setup handles specialized recovery tracks like cardiac rehabilitation, pulmonary care, post-op orthopedics, and negative pressure wound therapy, as well as outpatient therapy and temporary respite stays.

For daily routines, the kitchen serves fresh menus featuring familiar favorites like meatloaf, catfish, and pot roast. The layout includes private guest rooms, common lounges, and an on-site barber and beauty shop. The activities director organizes a weekly social calendar with parties, performances, holiday celebrations, and group outings, while the facility van handles transportation to medical appointments.

Older adults can access specialized physical therapy programs, multi-stage clinical recovery tracks, and temporary respite services. The internal schedule balances these medical offerings with three daily meals, scheduled recreational outings, holiday parties, and on-site grooming services. Living areas are equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi and private spaces for guests, backed by dedicated appointment transit and continuous personal care support managed entirely by the facility staff.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 15m per day ▼ 19% State avg: 19m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 42m per day ▼ 41% State avg: 1h 11m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 11m per day ▼ 15% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 28m per day
