Louisiana: CMS Rating Breakdown

Louisiana operates 266 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data. The facilities comprise 215 for-profit operations, 40 nonprofit facilities, and 11 government-run homes. The state's average Five-Star overall rating stands at 2.5 of 5 across all certified facilities.

The Five-Star rating system has documented limitations and should be understood as a broad indicator rather than a definitive assessment of individual facilities. State averages reflect aggregate performance but do not constitute medical, financial, or legal guidance. Families and individuals evaluating specific nursing homes should consult each facility's individual Care Compare profile on the CMS website and review per-facility pages directly to make informed decisions about care options.

How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
