Overview

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.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record reviews, observations and interviews, the facility failed to ensure correct use and maintenance of bed rails. The facility failed to ensure: residents were assessed for risks associated with the use of bed rails (side rails) and/or safety devices, informed consent was obtained from resident/resident representative prior to installation of bed rails, evidence of monitoring and supervision during the use of bed rails, and/or scheduled maintenance was conducted according to manufacturer's recommendations for any bed rails in use for 12 (#5, #8, #14, #29, #31, #40, #49, #54, #57, #64, #70, #201) of 12 residents reviewed for bed rails. Findings: Review of the facility's Restraints and Safety Devices policy with a revision date of October of 2022 revealed in part: It is the philosophy of this facility that a resident has the right to be free from any physical or chemical restraints not required to treat the resident's medical symptoms. Restraints may not be used for the convenience of the nursing staff or as punishment to the resident. Physical Restraint Definition Any manual method or physical or mechanical device, material or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the individual cannot easily remove, restricts freedom of movement or normal access to one's body. Any manual method or physical or mechanical device, material or equipment should be classified as a restraint only when it meets the criteria of the physical restraint definition. This is not determined by a type of device or method, but can only be determined on an individual basis by evaluating the effect it has on the resident. Do not focus on the type, intent or the reason behind the use to determine if it should be classified as a restraint, focus on the effect. The Restraint Device Worksheet helps to make the determination of whether the device is a restraint or not. If it is determined not to be a restraint, it is a device. If the device being used could be considered a restraint, the Device/Physical Consent shall be completed. Residents must be screened for use of approved restraints to meet their particular needs. Side rail usage should also be reviewed. If necessary, use side rail covers or bolster to prevent the resident's body from going under or through side rails if side rails are used. The facility must attempt to use an appropriate alternatives prior to installing a side rail. If used, the facility must assess the resident for risk of entrapment, review the risks and benefits with the resident or resident representative, obtain informed consent prior to installation, ensure bed dimensions are appropriate for the resident's size and weight, and follow manufacturer's directions for installing and maintaining side rails. Resident #5 Review of Resident #5's medical record revealed an admission date of 04/28/2007 with diagnoses including but not limited to: quadriplegia unspecified, communicating hydrocephalus, morbid (severe) obesity due to excess calories, muscle weakness (generalized), aphasia, cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegia, cerebral palsy, and profound intellectual disabilities.

Is Heritage Manor South Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, Heritage Manor South 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 3-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Louisiana.

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