ST JAMES PLACE NURSING CARE CENTER

333 LEE DRIVE, BATON ROUGE, LA 70808

Decent. ST JAMES PLACE NURSING CARE CENTER brings above-average staffing (4.0/5), and low staff turnover (28%) — Palmelle trust score 13/100. There are 1 federal fine(s) on record — no date context, so worth asking about directly. Worth asking: This facility reports 4.0-star staffing levels but resident outcomes are only 2.0 stars. High staffing ratings with poor resident outcomes suggest the staffing numbers may not reflect the quality of care residents actually receive.

Low RN coverage is associated with higher rates of hospitalization and missed diagnoses. Worth asking: Pressure ulcer (bedsore) rate is 13.3% — well above the national median of about 7%. Pressure ulcers form when staff don't reposition residents every two hours. This is a staffing-and-attention signal as much as a clinical one. Worth asking what the repositioning schedule looks like.

Often correlates with catheter overuse and understaffing. Worth asking how the facility tracks and prevents recurrent UTIs. Worth asking: Mobility-decline rate is 36.5% — meaning that share of long-stay residents lost ability to move between measurements (above the national median of about 17%). High decline suggests no PT/OT program or no daily walking — residents are being allowed to become bed-bound. Worth asking what the rehab and activities calendar actually looks like. Worth asking: Annual nursing staff turnover is 28% — well below the industry average of 50-60%. The same caregivers are coming back week after week, which means residents see familiar faces who know their preferences and history. Continuity of care is one of the biggest invisible quality signals.

JEFFERSON MANOR NURSING AND REHAB CTR, LLC

9919 JEFFERSON HWY., BATON ROUGE, LA 70809

Decent. JEFFERSON MANOR NURSING AND REHAB CTR, LLC brings above-average staffing (4.0/5) — Palmelle trust score 0/100. There are 3 federal fine(s) on record — no date context, so worth asking about directly. Worth asking: This facility reports 4.0-star staffing levels but resident outcomes are only 1.0 stars. High staffing ratings with poor resident outcomes suggest the staffing numbers may not reflect the quality of care residents actually receive. Worth asking: Registered nurse hours are 0.32 per resident per day — below the recommended minimum of 0.75 hours. RNs are responsible for clinical assessments and oversight. Low RN coverage is associated with higher rates of hospitalization and missed diagnoses. Worth asking: Long-stay antipsychotic rate is 32% — above the national median of about 14%. CMS already excludes residents with primary psychotic diagnoses from this measure. Worth asking what specific behaviors the medication is targeting and what non-medication options were tried first. Worth asking: Long-stay antianxiety / sleep medication rate is 37%. This category often shifts up when antipsychotic prescribing is restricted — different drug class, same effect on the resident. Worth asking the facility's prescribing rate for both classes side by side. Worth asking: Falls with major injury rate is 5.1% — above the national median of about 3%. A spike usually means call lights aren't getting answered fast enough or the facility is short on aides during transfer-heavy hours like mealtimes. Worth asking how long the call-light response window is during evening shifts. Worth asking: Unplanned weight loss rate is 10.3% — above the national median of about 6%. In long-stay facilities this is almost always a feeding-assistance failure: residents who need help eating aren't getting it, especially at dinner when staffing thins. Worth asking how dinner-hour staffing compares to lunch. Worth asking: Mobility-decline rate is 26.2% — meaning that share of long-stay residents lost ability to move between measurements (above the national median of about 17%).
