CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
A 156-bed government facility operated by the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs, Northeast Louisiana Veterans Home in Monroe provides skilled nursing and memory care. The resident census comprises veterans and military families: 44 percent admitted through Medicare (typical 18-day stay for post-acute rehabilitation) and 56 percent private pay. No Medicaid is accepted.
The inspection record suggests operational stability.
CMS rates overall performance at 3 stars, 25 percent above Louisiana’s average. More specifically, health inspection results reach 3 stars and exceed state average by 45 percent. The facility has incurred no federal penalties or enforcement actions.
Yet quality outcomes for short-stay residents, the facility’s primary population, tell a cautionary tale. Falls with major injury occur at double-plus the state rate (2.3 percent versus 0.8 percent). New antipsychotic medication initiation in short-stay residents runs 110 percent above Louisiana’s average. Pneumococcal vaccination rates for short-stay residents lag significantly at 51.5 percent against a state benchmark of 82.5 percent.
Financial performance is robust. Annual revenue of $15.5 million and payroll comprising 63 percent of that revenue position the facility as the second-highest payroll investor among Louisiana’s nursing homes. Occupancy at 81 percent exceeds state average, signaling demand and financial stability.
Northeast Louisiana Veterans Home accommodates veterans and military families seeking short-term post-acute skilled nursing and memory care services.
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.
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.
Federal penalties imposed by CMS for regulatory violations, including civil money penalties (fines) and denials of payment for new Medicare/Medicaid admissions.

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
