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.
