Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Lady of the Oaks Retirement Manor has a Trust Grade of B, which indicates it is a good facility and a solid choice for care. It ranks #41 out of 264 facilities in Louisiana, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 10 in Lafayette County, meaning only one nearby option is better. The facility has shown improvement, reducing its issues from 7 in 2024 to 5 in 2025. However, staffing is below average with a rating of 2 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 51%, which is concerning.

Additionally, food safety issues were observed, with expired items in storage and lack of proper labeling. Overall, there are strengths in the facility's safety record and improvement trend, but families should be aware of the staffing challenges and specific care deficiencies.
