Overview

Rosepine Retirement & Rehab Center, LLC has a Trust Grade of D, indicating below-average performance with some concerns about care quality. Ranking #101 of 264 facilities in Louisiana places it in the top half, and it is the best option out of two in Vernon County. The facility is showing improvement, with the number of issues decreasing from 8 in 2023 to 6 in 2024. Staffing is rated average with a 44% turnover rate, which is slightly better than the state average, and it has an average RN coverage that helps ensure better care. However, there are concerning incidents, including a critical failure to use a mechanical lift for a resident's transfer, resulting in serious injuries, and lapses in infection control practices that could risk residents' health. Overall, while there are strengths in staffing and a good health inspection score, the facility's past issues and room for improvement should be carefully considered by families.
