Overview of The Care Center of Dequincy

The Care Center of Dequincy is an 80-bed skilled nursing facility that provides long-term care, rehabilitation services, and hospice care. The facility primarily addresses extended care needs, resulting in a lengthy average stay of 1,028 days, with Medicaid-dependent residents making up 86% of the current census. Business records indicate a stable commercial footprint, with the property maintaining a 77% occupancy rate and reporting a 2023 operating profit of $832.3 thousand. Management routes 52% of its revenue into payroll, which funds its high front-line personnel volumes.

Public records highlight a high daily staffing presence contrasted with serious quality-of-care violations and financial penalties. Direct nursing time averages 4 hours and 28 minutes per resident daily, ranking the home 32nd highest in Louisiana, with certified nurse aide hours running 24% above state averages. However, a January 2025 health inspection cited major violations involving resident abuse and neglect, resulting in a $110,000 civil money penalty.

Over a three-year tracking window, the property accumulated 26 total citations, including two serious violations, pushing its total historical fines to $146,000. Clinical charts mirror these regulatory challenges, with permanent resident files documenting below-average markers for major injury falls, pressure ulcers, unexpected weight loss, and urinary tract infections.

Interested individuals investigating local long-term Medicaid placements can analyze these public monitoring logs to evaluate the provider’s current status. Because the state documentation records strong daily direct nursing hours alongside a recent high-severity abuse citation, major federal fines, and significant permanent-resident clinical vulnerabilities, the paperwork details a well-staffed facility facing critical care-delivery and safety challenges.

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Nurse Aide is +7% 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.	9m per day	▼ 55% 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 2m per day	▼ 13% 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 28m per day	▲ 7% 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 12m per day	■ Avg 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.	1m per day	▼ 65% 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.	9m per day	▼ 34% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 28m per day
