Mostly long-term care residents
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
New residents most often arrive under Medicare (46% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 5 months.
Financially positioned with a 35% profit margin that generated a $3.1 million net income in 2023, Vermilion Health Care Center is a 120-bed facility that focuses primarily on extended care, registering an extensive 796-day average length of stay. The provider maintains a 78% local occupancy rate in a rural setting, with Medicaid recipients accounting for 83% of the resident census. Business reports show the facility reinvests 43.9% of its incoming revenue into direct operational payroll, supporting secure memory care units, long-term nursing, and post-acute physical rehabilitation lines.
A review of state monitoring registries places the home at the top of regional health inspection rankings, backed by strong clinical wellness scores and low deficiency counts. Direct daily nursing time tracks at 4 hours and 25 minutes per resident, ranking 38th highest across Louisiana, with certified nurse assistant hours running 14% ahead of the state baseline. On the compliance side, oversight files note only 14 total citations over a three-year window, averaging 3.5 per inspection, which runs beneath the state baseline.
The facility holds zero history of federal admission payment freezes and carries a low $6,000 fine record, with its most recent September 2024 review logging only minor care plan and resident rights paperwork points. Clinical charts indicate high performance across permanent resident care domains, tracking zero cases of documented depression alongside below-average rates for major injury falls, skin pressure ulcers, unexpected weight loss, and functional physical decline.
Older adults looking for highly rated rural Medicaid or Alzheimer’s care can use these public health tracking data to check out the home’s recent history. Because the official tracking documentation records consistent daily nurse staffing depth, top-tier state inspection rankings, and exceptional long-term physical wellness scores alongside a clear history of low financial penalties, the paperwork describes an organized care environment.
In Louisiana, the Department of Health, Health Standards Section performs unannounced onsite surveys to verify that healthcare providers meet both state licensing and federal safety rules.
