Ruston Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, LLC

3720 Hwy 80 East, Ruston, LA 71270

Mixed. Ruston Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, LLC has 3 federal fine(s) on record and a Palmelle trust score of 0/100. We don't have date context on those fines, so ask when they visit. Worth asking: Registered nurse hours are 0.19 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 35% — 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: Mobility-decline rate is 25.2% — 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.
