Overview of Princeton Place-Ruston

Angela Smith owns Princeton Place-Ruston, a 123-bed nursing home located on White Street in Ruston, Louisiana. Care expenses at this property are handled through straightforward financial tracks like Medicare, Medicaid, and private payments. The surrounding neighborhood has a Walk Score of 28, indicating a car-dependent setup where visitors and guests will need a personal vehicle for travel and local errands.

The facility runs at roughly 54 percent capacity, leaving immediate openings for new residents who stay for an average of 305 days. This extended timeline shows that the 24-hour medical crew splits their schedule between continuous long-term residential care and post-hospital recovery. To manage these health needs, the clinical staff supplies an average of 3 hours and 53 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day, which includes 2 hours and 19 minutes of direct support from nurse aides alongside dedicated temporary respite care.

When it comes to daily routines, the kitchen staff prioritizes personalized dietary services, crafting individualized meal plans tailored to specific medical profiles and health requirements. The floor plan provides private and semi-private residential layouts built for consistent medication management and bedside attention.

Prospective representatives can look over the custom nutritional programs, physical rehabilitation setups, and current room vacancies. The internal schedule balances these clinical services with customized meals, specialized therapy tracks, and round-the-clock nursing supervision.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +13% above 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.	11m per day	▼ 42% 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.	58m per day	▼ 18% 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 26m per day	▲ 5% 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 3m per day	▼ 7% 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	▲ 13% 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.	8m per day	▼ 38% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 28m per day
