Overview

Adira Medical Resort in Bossier City, Louisiana has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about its care quality. It ranks #175 out of 264 facilities in Louisiana, placing it in the bottom half, and #6 out of 9 in Bossier County, meaning there are only a few better options nearby. While the facility's trend is improving, with issues decreasing from 17 in 2024 to 11 in 2025, the overall performance remains poor, with a 1-star rating for health inspections and quality measures. Staffing is somewhat average with a rating of 3 out of 5, but the turnover rate is high at 79%, which is concerning compared to the state average of 47%. Although there have been no fines recorded, which is a positive aspect, there have been critical incidents, such as a resident walking out of the facility unattended and wandering into a busy street. Additionally, there were deficiencies in documenting residents' advanced directive wishes, which could lead to misunderstandings about their care preferences. Overall, while there are some strengths like good RN coverage, the significant weaknesses in care and safety should raise red flags for families considering this facility.

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.

How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?

Adira Medical Resort 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.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
