Short-term rehab or long-term care?
Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.
Short-term rehab
For a stay of a few weeks after a hospital visit, such as after surgery or a stroke.
- Sent back to the hospital23.4%State average: 28.0%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit13.3%State average: 14.8%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.0%State average: 3.1%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 4 minutes per resident a day. That is more than the state average of 3 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.

Beds in use, on average67%Louisiana typical: 75%
Cost of care per resident day$327Louisiana typical: $284
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending March 2025. The cost per day is what care costs the home to provide, not the price you would pay; ask the home for its private-pay rate. A busy home may have fewer open beds, so ask about availability.
