Overview of Gonzales Healthcare Center

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.

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +31% 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.	12m per day	▼ 35% 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 31m per day	▲ 31% State avg: 1h 10m 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.	1h 53m per day	▼ 20% State avg: 2h 20m 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 12m per day	▼ 3% State avg: 3h 18m per day · National avg: 3h 27m 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.	4m per day	▲ 16% 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.	7m per day	▼ 40% State avg: 12m per day · National avg: 29m per day
