Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Louisiana

Louisiana is home to 266 CMS-certified nursing homes listed in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 2.5 of 5 stars. A comprehensive listing presents each facility alongside its overall rating, health-inspection stars, and staffing stars to provide a snapshot of performance across the state.

The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with recognized limitations. The ratings reflected here represent the data as of May 2026 and should not be construed as a recommendation or guarantee of quality. A facility's star rating constitutes one factor among many that warrant consideration when selecting a nursing home. Location, the type of care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with staff and clinical personnel all play important roles in the decision-making process. Prospective residents and their families should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making reliance on any published rating.

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.
