Overview of Evangeline Oaks Guest House

Evangeline Oaks Guest House is a 190-bed nursing home in Carencro, Louisiana, owned by Ella Mae Lafleur. The facility has been in business for nearly 45 years and coordinates billing through private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid. Because the local neighborhood relies heavily on car travel, visiting family members will need a vehicle to access the campus and complete errands.

The property currently runs at 46 percent capacity with 87 residents, meaning room assignments are highly flexible. An average stay of 550 days indicates that the daily clinical schedule covers both short-term post-hospital therapy and long-term residency. To handle daily medical routines, the floor staff logs 4 hours and 25 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day. This 24-hour medical team includes an on-staff doctor and an on-site nurse practitioner who manage specialized skin care, wound therapy, and restorative programs.

A registered dietician reviews all personalized meals, which can be delivered directly via room service. The campus features semi-private rooms, courtyard areas, a beauty salon, and heated shower rooms equipped with whirlpool tubs. The office also coordinates medical appointment transport, resident-led social outings, religious services, and emergency power backup through an on-site generator.

Individuals researching local care options can look over the specialized therapy tracks, clinical staffing schedules, and shared community spaces. Local administrative coordinators can assist directly with verifying insurance network rules, confirming current room openings, and setting up the initial clinical intake appointment.

vs avg

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Nurse Aide is +19% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) 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.	8m per day	▼ 58% State avg: 19m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN 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.	1h 3m per day	▼ 11% State avg: 1h 11m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 46m per day	▲ 19% State avg: 2h 19m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 24m per day	▲ 4% State avg: 3h 16m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	2m per day	▼ 43% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN 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.	8m per day	▼ 37% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 28m per day
