Overview

The Summit in Alexandria, Louisiana has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating a poor rating with significant concerns about care quality. They rank #256 out of 264 facilities in Louisiana, placing them in the bottom half of all nursing homes in the state, and #9 out of 9 in Rapides County, meaning there are no better local options. Although the facility is showing some improvement, with issues decreasing from 8 in 2024 to 5 in 2025, they still have a concerning staffing rating of 1 out of 5 stars and a high turnover rate of 60%, well above the state average. There were $14,287 in fines, which is average, but the facility has less RN coverage than 97% of other Louisiana facilities, raising concerns about the level of oversight provided. Specific incidents revealed that a resident was left unsupervised and managed to leave the facility, which posed a serious risk of elopement, and there were failures in ensuring adequate assessments for residents at risk. Overall, while there are some positive trends, families should be cautious and weigh these serious issues when considering this facility.

A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.

How is The Summit Staffed?

CMS rates THE SUMMIT's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 60%, which is 14 percentage points above the Louisiana average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 71%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.

State health inspectors documented 31 deficiencies at THE SUMMIT during 2023 to 2025. These included: 2 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death) and 29 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.

Who Owns and Operates The Summit?

THE SUMMIT is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by THE BEEBE FAMILY, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 130 certified beds and approximately 87 residents (about 67% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in ALEXANDRIA, Louisiana.

How Does The Summit Compare to Other Louisiana Nursing Homes?

What Should Families Ask When Visiting The Summit?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the facility's high staff turnover rate, and the below-average staffing rating.

Inspectors have issued 2 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Louisiana.

Do Nurses at The Summit Stick Around?

Staff turnover at THE SUMMIT is high. At 60%, the facility is 14 percentage points above the Louisiana average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 71%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?

Was The Summit Ever Fined?

THE SUMMIT has been fined $14,287 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Louisiana average of $33,222. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.

Is The Summit on Any Federal Watch List?

THE SUMMIT is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
