Overview of St James Place Nursing Care Center

St. James Place Nursing Care Center is a 90-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility located at 333 Lee Drive in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Operated by Spiritas Senior Services, a nonprofit corporation, the facility is part of a 52-acre retirement campus. Medicare and private pay are accepted; Medicaid is not.

Total adjusted nursing hours are 5 hours and 26 minutes per resident per day, which is 42% above the Louisiana average. Physical therapist hours are 267% above the state average, and LPN hours run 52% above average. However, RN hours are 11% below the state average at 17 minutes per day, and weekend RN hours are 23% below. Quality measures for the facility are in line with state averages.

The Louisiana Department of Health, Health Standards Section, oversees facility inspections. The Health Inspection sub-rating is approximately 24% below the Louisiana average. No civil money penalties or payment denials appear in available reports, and the facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. Current occupancy is 89.3%, which is higher than the state average of 71.8%.

The campus offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care alongside skilled nursing. Clinical programs include rehabilitation and wellness activities such as resident-led clubs and live music. The dining program provides daily meals prepared on-site. Specific details regarding monthly pricing are not reported in the available source data, so families should request these details during a tour.

Families seeking a nonprofit, campus-style environment with high total nursing and therapy staffing may find this setting suitable. Families evaluating St. James Place Nursing Care Center should ask directly about findings driving the below-average health inspection rating and confirm that those issues have been addressed before making a placement decision.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 16m per day ▼ 17% State avg: 19m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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 52m per day ▲ 57% State avg: 1h 11m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 31m per day ▲ 9% State avg: 2h 19m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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. 4h 1m per day ▲ 23% State avg: 3h 16m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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. 11m per day ▲ 264% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 9m per day ▼ 29% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 28m per day
