Located on Edgewood Drive in Pineville, Louisiana, Hilltop Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a skilled nursing facility serving both rehabilitation residents and those who need ongoing nursing care. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several ways to cover short-term rehabilitation and longer-term care. Hilltop has 130 beds and currently operates at about 68% occupancy. Residents stay an average of 293 days, including post-acute rehabilitation patients and individuals with continuing care needs.
Jeremy Procell owns the facility, which places a strong focus on rehabilitation services. Respite care is also available for families looking for temporary placement. A doctor is on staff, and nursing support is available 24 hours a day. Residents receive an average of 4 hours and 26 minutes of nursing care daily, with registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides providing consistent hands-on assistance and support.
Meals are a regular part of daily life, with the dining program featuring home-style cooking along with a rotating selection of soups and salads. Special diets can also be accommodated when needed. Residents take part in planned activities and social events that help them stay engaged and connected with others in the community.
The location in Pineville offers reasonable walkability for visiting family and outpatient appointments, though most trips will require a car. For someone recovering from surgery, an orthopedic or cardiac setback, or a hospital stay, or for families seeking temporary respite care, Hilltop’s focus on rehabilitation and its round-the-clock staffing make it a practical choice for post-acute needs.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 38th out of 182 homes in Louisiana for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 20m per day | ▲ 4% 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.
| 57m per day | ▼ 19% 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 27m per day | ▲ 6% 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 32m per day | ▲ 8% 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.
| 3m per day | ■ Avg 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.
| 10m per day | ▼ 20% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
