Heritage Manor of Opelousas is a 109-bed facility at 7941 I-49 South Service Road in Opelousas, Louisiana. Serving St. Landry Parish and surrounding areas, the center is operated by Centennial Healthcare Holding Co. LLC and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Total adjusted nursing hours are distributed with a focus on RN presence, which at 20 minutes per resident per day is 5% above the Louisiana average. However, LPN hours and weekend coverage fall below state benchmarks. The facility carries a 1-star overall CMS rating, though its Quality Measures sub-rating is a relative strength, performing above the state average in clinical outcomes such as pressure ulcer prevention and mobility improvement.
The Louisiana Department of Health, Health Standards Section, oversees inspections. Heritage Manor holds a 1-star health inspection sub-rating and maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of 5.0. Despite its regulatory history, the facility maintains an 87.2% occupancy rate, notably higher than the state average of 71.8%. The average length of stay is 134 days, indicating a primarily long-term care population.
The facility provides skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, memory care, and wound care. The campus is situated in a moderately walkable area near the city center. New admissions include a mix of Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay residents. Since specific monthly pricing and ancillary fees are not provided in public reports, families should request a current fee schedule during a facility tour.
Families seeking a conveniently located facility with high occupancy and above-average clinical quality outcomes may find this environment appropriate. Those evaluating the center should weigh the low overall CMS rating and review current inspection findings alongside an in-person visit before making a placement decision.
