White Oak Post Acute Care is a privately-owned nursing home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, offering skilled nursing and rehabilitation. Under the ownership of Keira Juge, the community has served approximately 92 residents with a 176-bed capacity since its opening in October 2020. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are also accepted, allowing more access to care.
Catering to short-stay residents, 76% of admissions are private pay, which lasts around two months, while only a smaller long-term Medicaid population resides in the community. Notably, physical therapy staffing has hours 133% above the Louisiana state average, which benefits those requiring intensive short-term rehabilitation.
The community holds a 1-star overall CMS rating, which represents the lowest tier, with its Health Inspection sub-rating 62.1% below the Louisiana average, and its Quality Measures rating 49% below the state benchmark. Additionally, total nursing hours per resident per day are 3 hours and 57 minutes, which is slightly higher than Louisiana’s average of 3 hours and 49 minutes. However, RN-specific hours are 21% below state norms, and weekend nursing coverage also trails the state average.
Inspection performance is the community’s most significant area of concern, with 16 inspections conducted between August 2023 and December 2025, resulting in a deficiency rate of approximately 29.7 per year. This rate is 643% above Louisiana’s annual average of 4 deficiencies. Three inspections also resulted in Immediate Jeopardy findings. Additionally, a June 2024 investigation confirmed failures in elopement supervision and device care, and a September 2024 visit identified unsafe resident transfers that caused injury and inadequate smoking supervision. A February 2025 complaint was also substantiated after a cognitively impaired resident fell while unattended on the smoking patio.
Moreover, significant deficiency clusters occurred in August 2023, with reports including a staff member’s misappropriation of narcotics and a 13% medication error rate. In September 2024, findings included environmental issues affecting all 88 residents, delayed abuse reporting, and a non-functional feeding tube. A December 2023 complaint was also substantiated regarding resident-to-resident physical abuse involving cigarette burns. Recurring themes across the record also include medication administration failures, care plan lapses, and staffing shortfalls. The most recent annual survey in December 2025 also identified 7 deficiencies, including coding errors and unlabeled insulin pens, suggesting that systemic patterns persist.
Long-term care and post-acute rehabilitation are offered, while accepting all three major payment types. Its current occupancy of 52.3% is well below the state average of 71.8%, indicating availability. Financially, the community operates at a loss with a $1 million deficit on $8.6 million in revenue, while payroll represents a 49.5% of revenue, which is below the typical range for well-staffed skilled nursing environments.
White Oak Post Acute Care is a suitable option for families seeking short-term rehabilitation with immediate availability, particularly those prioritizing physical therapy. However, the inspection record warrants a very careful review, with the volume and severity of deficiencies cited between 2023 and 2025 indicating ongoing systemic compliance challenges that families should consider against other options in the Baton Rouge area.
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.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 91st 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.
| 11m per day | ▼ 43% 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 3m per day | ▼ 12% 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 25m per day | ▲ 4% State avg: 2h 20m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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 20m 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.
| 5m per day | ▲ 53% 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.
| 7m per day | ▼ 46% State avg: 13m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
