Vermilion Healthcare Center
Vermilion Healthcare Center
Long-term residents at Vermilion Healthcare Center in Lafayette, Louisiana, benefit from nursing staffing that consistently outpaces state benchmarks.
The facility delivers 4 hours 25 minutes of combined registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, and certified nursing aide time per resident daily; 6% above Louisiana’s state average and solidly above the national red-flag threshold of 3.0 hours. This staffing level places Vermilion at #38 among 182 Louisiana skilled nursing homes. Weekend nursing presence, while lighter than weekday operations, remains at 3 hours 10 minutes per resident; maintained rather than collapsed, a distinction worth noting in facilities serving medically complex residents.
CMS performance data amplifies the staffing picture. Overall ratings run 108.2% above the Louisiana state average, health inspection assessments 81.1% above average, and staffing designations 24.8% higher than peer norms. Quality-of-life measures track at state average. The facility maintains no federal penalties in the past three years.
Occupancy at 78.2% sits above the Louisiana average (71.8%), with capacity available for new admissions. Residents stay exceptionally long; an average of 796 days suggests a population that has settled into permanent or near-permanent residence. Payer patterns underscore this: while admissions split relatively evenly among Medicare (46%), Medicaid (29%), and private pay (26%), discharges skew heavily private pay (51% of exits), reflecting residents completing extended, privately funded stays before departing the community.
The facility specializes in long-term memory care, offering secure Alzheimer’s units alongside general nursing beds. Rehabilitation services, 24-hour nursing, religious services, and daily wellness activities comprise the program.

Dining emphasizes Cajun cuisine.
The Lagniappe Program adds structure for enrolled residents.
