Overview

Savoy Care Center has a Trust Grade of C, indicating that it is average-neither particularly good nor particularly bad compared to other nursing homes. It ranks #161 out of 264 facilities in Louisiana, placing it in the bottom half, and it is the lowest-ranked facility in Evangeline County at #4 out of 4. The facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with reported issues increasing from 2 in 2024 to 14 in 2025. While staffing is a relative strength with a turnover rate of 44%, which is below the state average, the center has concerning RN coverage, being lower than 90% of facilities in Louisiana. In terms of specific incidents, there were serious concerns, such as a resident being transferred without the required two-person assistance, which poses a fall risk. Additionally, there were multiple instances of verbal abuse from staff members towards residents, including one case where a CNA yelled at a resident using derogatory language, raising significant concerns about the treatment of residents. While there have been no fines recorded, the facility must address these critical issues to improve the care and safety of its residents.

Based on observation, interview and record review the Facility failed to protect Residents from abuse, neglect, exploitation and misappropriation of their property by failing to screen Agency/Contract staff's background prior to allowing 2 of 2 unlicensed sampled (S6 Agency CNA and S7 Agency CNA) Agency/Contract staff to work in the Facility. This practice had the potential to affect all Residents in the Facility. Finding: Contract Staffing: Policy Interpretation and Implementation The contracted agency must adhere to federal and state guidelines when hiring their employees. The contracted agency is responsible for ensuring their staff have completed and passed criminal background checks, OIG, sexual offender check, and have the appropriate licensing and certifications. Observation on 02/01/2023 at 10:30 revealed S6 Agency CNA and S7 Agency CNA's performing Resident care. Record review of S6 Agency CNA and S7 Agency CNA personnel file revealed no documentation of a criminal background check. Interview on 02/01/2023 at 11:20 a.m. with S1 DON confirmed the contracting agency performed criminal history background checks on their employees and the facility had not requested or seen documentation from the contracted agency for S6 Agency CNA and S7 Agency CNA's criminal history background checks prior to them starting employment and she should have. S1 DON stated she did not check the criminal backgrounds because she had only been employed at the facility since 11/22 and that's how they did background checks in the past and she just followed the process.

How is Savoy Care Center Staffed?

How Does Savoy Care Center Compare to Other Louisiana Nursing Homes?

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Savoy Care Center?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "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?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.

Is Savoy Care Center Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, Savoy Care Center has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Louisiana.

Was Savoy Care Center Ever Fined?

Savoy Care Center has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Savoy Care Center on Any Federal Watch List?

Savoy Care Center 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.
