Gonzales Healthcare Center is a 120-bed facility located at 905 West Cornerview Road in Gonzales, Louisiana. Serving Ascension Parish, the center is operated as a business corporation and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Total adjusted nursing hours are 4 hours and 1 minute per resident per day, which is 5% above the Louisiana average. The facility holds a 3-star CMS staffing sub-rating. However, the overall CMS rating is 1 star, and the quality measures sub-rating is 1 star as well. The payroll-to-revenue ratio is 32.8%, ranking 156th among 191 Louisiana skilled nursing facilities.
The Louisiana Department of Health, Health Standards Section, oversees inspections. Gonzales Healthcare maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of 19.7, which is 393% above the state average. The record includes 16 inspections between June 2023 and May 2025, featuring two Immediate Jeopardy findings. Substantiated complaints include failures in wheelchair safety leading to head injuries, resident abuse, and the performance of CPR against a resident’s DNR orders. A May 2025 inspection cited expired medications and call light accessibility issues. Occupancy was recorded at 100% as of September 2024.
The facility provides skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, wound care, and telemedicine. It offers 24-hour admissions and around-the-clock nursing care. The resident population is primarily short-stay, with an average length of stay of 114 days. Since specific monthly rates are not included in public reports, families should request a current fee schedule during a facility tour.
Families seeking a facility with high occupancy and above-average total nursing hours may find this environment appropriate. However, those evaluating the center should carefully review the extensive history of regulatory deficiencies, including Immediate Jeopardy findings and abuse investigations, before making a placement decision.

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on May 7, 2025, identified deficiencies related to call light accessibility, care planning for a pressure ulcer, and medication storage practices. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues involving resident neglect, abuse, failure to report and investigate allegations timely, and medication management concerns. Complaint investigations substantiated multiple instances of verbal and physical abuse by staff and residents, neglect in care provision, and lapses in transportation safety, with no fines or license actions listed in the available reports. The main themes across reports include resident care deficiencies—especially neglect and abuse prevention—and administrative failures in reporting and investigation processes. While the facility continues to have deficiencies, the issues reflect ongoing challenges rather than a clear trend of improvement or worsening.
