ST CLARE MANOR NURSING AND REHABILITATION
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
St. Clare Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation has received a Trust Grade of F, which indicates significant concerns and is considered poor overall. They rank #245 out of 264 facilities in Louisiana, placing them in the bottom half, and #23 out of 25 in East Baton Rouge County, meaning only two local options are worse. The facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 8 in 2024 to 11 in 2025. Staffing is a concern with a rating of 2 out of 5 stars and a high turnover rate of 67%, which is above the state average of 47%. While they have had $20,227 in fines, which is average, the nursing home has less RN coverage than 97% of Louisiana facilities, potentially impacting the quality of care. Specific incidents include failures in infection control, such as not maintaining proper hand hygiene and glove use during catheter care, which raises concerns about resident safety. Overall, while there are some strengths, the significant issues and poor ratings indicate that families should carefully consider their options.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting St Clare Manor Nursing And Rehabilitation?
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.
