Heritage Manor South
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Heritage Manor South in Shreveport, Louisiana has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is decent and slightly above average compared to other facilities. It ranks #77 out of 264 nursing homes in Louisiana, placing it in the top half of the state, and #9 out of 22 in Caddo County, meaning only eight local options are better. The facility is showing an improving trend, with issues decreasing from seven in 2024 to just two in 2025. Staffing is a strong point, rated 4 out of 5 stars, with a turnover of 51%, which is average but may suggest some instability. Notably, there have been no fines recorded, which is a positive sign, and the facility has better RN coverage than 84% of state facilities, helping ensure quality care. However, there are some concerns as well. Recent inspections revealed that a care plan for one resident regarding their Do Not Resuscitate wishes was not properly developed, and another resident was found to be dependent on oxygen without the correct orders documented. Additionally, there were instances of missed medication doses for a resident with a wound infection, indicating potential issues in medication management. Overall, while Heritage Manor South has strengths in staffing and RN coverage, families should be aware of the care planning and medication administration concerns.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
