Overview of Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation of Port Allen

Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation of Port Allen is a 125-bed skilled nursing facility in Port Allen, Louisiana, offering Behavioral/Psychiatric Services and a Rehab to Home program. The for-profit community is operated by Port Allen Care Center, LLC, and serves West Baton Rouge Parish. It accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, with roughly 90% of current residents on Medicaid — a payer mix that reflects its orientation toward long-term care.

CMS rates the facility 1 out of 5 stars overall, largely due to a 1-star Health Inspection rating. Since 2022, the facility has completed 10 inspections — nearly 54% more than the Louisiana average of 6.5 — and recorded 47 citations — nearly double the state average of 25.7.

Five of those citations were classified as critical severity, more than three times the Louisiana average of 1.1. A $131,000 federal civil money penalty was imposed in June 2024, above the state average for penalized facilities. Deficiency categories with the heaviest concentration include Resident Rights and Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation.

Staffing averages below state benchmarks on most measures. Total nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 35 minutes per resident per day — about 6% below the Louisiana average — and RN staffing is particularly thin at 12 minutes per day, compared with the state’s 19-minute average. Weekend nursing coverage drops to 2 hours and 46 minutes per resident, 15% below the state norm.

On the positive side, the facility’s occupancy is 92.2%, ranking 18th out of 189 Louisiana nursing homes and significantly above the state average of 71.8%. Short-stay outcomes show some strength: rehospitalization after an SNF stay is 20%, compared to the Louisiana average of 27.8%, and emergency department visits among short-stay residents are 37% below the state average. The facility’s amenities include a patio with a gazebo and garden boxes, as well as outdoor common areas.

The facility’s capacity and Medicaid-dominant census orient it toward long-term placement in West Baton Rouge Parish, with some short-stay rehabilitation capacity for residents whose primary coverage is Medicare or private pay. However, families should carefully review the facility’s inspection history, staffing levels, and abuse-related citations before considering placement.

Total nursing care / resident

3h 35m per day

vs avg

5 of 6 metrics below 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.	8m per day	▼ 59% 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 4m per day	▼ 11% 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 17m per day	■ Avg 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.	2h 58m per day	▼ 9% 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.	1m per day	▼ 77% 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.	5m per day	▼ 61% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 28m per day
