Sterling Place Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center operates from North Boulevard in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Owned by Plantation Management Company, the 144-bed skilled nursing facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families different options for covering both short-term rehabilitation and longer-term care.
The home is located in a very walkable neighborhood where many daily errands can be completed on foot. Occupancy currently stands at about 78%, and residents stay an average of 163 days. This includes people recovering after hospitalization as well as those who need ongoing nursing support.
Skilled nursing care, rehabilitation services, and specialized Alzheimer’s care are all part of the facility’s program. Residents receive an average of 3 hours and 59 minutes of nursing care each day. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed vocational nurses provide care across all shifts to support residents around the clock. The combination of rehabilitation services, nursing care, and Alzheimer’s support makes the facility a practical option for someone recovering from an acute medical event or managing a chronic condition in a secure setting.
Daily life is supported by a wide range of services and amenities. Residents have access to beauty salon services, WiFi, and flexible visiting hours that help them stay connected with family and friends. Scheduled medical transportation is available for appointments and outings, while therapy services are provided on site.
Meals are served through a full dietary program that includes daily menu choices and a structured hydration initiative. Residents can also take part in scheduled activities, spend time in outdoor courtyards, and participate in an award-winning resident council. Housekeeping, laundry services, and both private and companion room options are available as well.
The Walk Score of 77 is another advantage of the location. Visiting family members may find it easy to reach the facility and spend time in the surrounding neighborhood, with many nearby services and amenities within walking distance. A resident security system helps support safety, while chaplain visits provide an added source of spiritual care and support.
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.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
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.

This home is ranked 76th out of 182 homes in Louisiana for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 12m per day | ▼ 38% 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 7m per day | ▼ 5% 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 5m per day | ▼ 10% 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 8m per day | ▼ 4% 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.
| 0m per day | ▼ 100% 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.
| 10m per day | ▼ 24% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
