Belle Maison Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, LLC
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Belle Maison Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Hammond, Louisiana has earned a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good facility overall. Ranking #30 out of 264 facilities in Louisiana places it in the top half, while being #2 out of 6 in Tangipahoa County means only one local option is ranked higher. The facility is improving, having reduced reported issues from 9 in 2024 to just 3 in 2025. Staffing is a mixed bag, with a 3/5 rating and a turnover rate of 40%, which is below the state average but still indicates some staff changes. Notably, there have been no fines recorded, but RN coverage is concerning as it is lower than 83% of other facilities in the state. Specific incidents include food safety violations where numerous opened and unlabeled food items were found, and documentation errors regarding residents' oxygen use and death records, which could pose significant risks to resident care. Overall, while Belle Maison has strengths in areas like fines and overall rank, families should be aware of the food safety and documentation issues.
