Overview of Hessmer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Hessmer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 92-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility located at 3707 Hwy 114 in Hessmer, Louisiana. Serving residents in Avoyelles Parish, the facility is owned by Hessmer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center LLC and accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.

Clinical performance for short-stay residents shows several outcomes performing better than the Louisiana average, including an emergency department visit rate of 11.6% and a discharge self-care rate of 59.5%. The facility also reports zero falls with major injury for this group. However, the short-stay re-hospitalization rate of 31.7% is 14% higher than the state average. For long-stay residents, hospitalizations and emergency department visits run slightly above Louisiana averages.

The Louisiana Department of Health, Health Standards Section, oversees the inspection of this facility. Hessmer carries a 2-star overall CMS rating, with a 3-star health inspection sub-rating and a 1-star quality measures sub-rating. No civil money penalties or payment denials appear in available reports, and the facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero.

The campus provides 24-hour staffing and features a secure dementia care unit. Rehabilitation services, including short-term rehab, are provided through a clinical partnership. Specific details about on-site amenities and dining menus are not available in the available source data, so families should request them during a tour.

Families seeking specialized dementia care or rehabilitation with strong short-stay self-care outcomes may find this environment appropriate. Families evaluating Hessmer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center should ask directly about care coordination and discharge planning practices to address the re-hospitalization rate before making a placement decision.

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. 16m per day ▼ 16% 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. 56m per day ▼ 21% 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. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 21m per day ■ Avg State avg: 2h 19m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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 5m per day ▼ 5% State avg: 3h 16m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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. 3m per day ▼ 17% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
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. 8m per day ▼ 35% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 28m per day
