Mansfield Nursing Center
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Mansfield Nursing Center has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice, performing solidly among nursing homes. It ranks #47 out of 264 facilities in Louisiana, placing it in the top half, and is the best option among the two nursing homes in De Soto County. However, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 4 in 2024 to 6 in 2025. Staffing is a mixed bag; while the turnover rate is relatively low at 37%, the facility received a below-average rating of 2 out of 5 stars for staffing, suggesting that while staff retention is good, the overall staff levels may not be sufficient. Notably, there were no fines recorded, which is a positive sign. However, the inspector found concerns such as a resident being discharged without proper notification and another resident not having required assist rails for safety. Additionally, infection control measures were inadequate, with missing signage and supplies for enhanced barrier precautions in place, which raises concerns about resident safety. Overall, while there are strengths in retention and no fines, the facility must address its staffing challenges and the incidents reported.

Is Mansfield Nursing Center Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, Mansfield Nursing 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 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Louisiana.

Do Nurses at Mansfield Nursing Center Stick Around?

Was Mansfield Nursing Center Ever Fined?

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.
