Overview of The Ellington

Facebook YouTube

Offering short-term rehabilitation, memory care programming, and long-term care services, The Ellington is a 120-bed nursing home that experiences solid local utilization with a 91% occupancy rate. This high volume runs about 27% above the state average. Admissions focus on a diverse payer mix consisting of Medicare post-acute clients (55%), private-pay residents (29%), and long-term Medicaid recipients (17%). Business logs display a healthy financial baseline, highlighting a 30.8% profit margin and $3.6 million in net income, while allocating 45.3% of incoming revenue straight into operational payroll. On-site community amenities include a beauty salon, activity rooms, a chapel, whirlpool areas, and dietary meal planning.

Personnel depth and moderate citation patterns stand out in recent state regulatory databases, though post-acute clinical outcomes remain mixed. Direct nursing care averages 4 hours and 32 minutes per resident daily, ranking the home 32nd highest out of 182 facilities statewide, with certified nurse assistant hours running 15% ahead of the Louisiana norm. Oversight logs document 11 inspections since 2022 that resulted in 25 total deficiencies, establishing a historical average of 2.3 citations per inspection.

The file includes one critical and one serious violation alongside $29,000 in total federal financial fines, with zero temporary admission payment blocks on record. Clinical data shows strong permanent resident tracking with below-average rates for mobility decline and pressure ulcers. However, short-stay post-acute recovery metrics show notable challenges, with files logging a 35.2% hospital re-admission rate and an elevated 2.2% rate for major injury falls during rehabilitation.

By examining these public health registries, prospective residents can gauge the property’s operational baseline when assessing regional senior care options or short-term physical therapy layouts. Because the official tracking documentation records high local building occupancy and above-average direct nursing hours alongside a moderate, corrected inspection history and short-term recovery safety gaps, the paperwork describes a well-staffed care setting balancing complex medical workloads.

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. 9m per day ▼ 53% 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 3m per day ▼ 12% 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.

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. 5m per day ▼ 65% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 28m per day
