SPRING LAKE SKILLED NURSING AND REHABILITATION
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Spring Lake Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation in Shreveport, Louisiana, has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating a decent but slightly above-average standard of care. It ranks #104 out of 264 facilities in Louisiana, placing it in the top half, and #11 out of 22 in Caddo County, meaning there are only a few better local options. The facility's performance trend is stable, with 5 issues reported both in 2023 and 2024. Staffing is a concern, rated 1 out of 5 stars with a 55% turnover rate, which is average for the state but suggests staffing stability could be improved. On the positive side, there have been no fines, and the health inspection rating is good at 4 out of 5 stars, showing some strengths in care. However, specific incidents raised concerns, such as a resident not receiving necessary nail care despite needing assistance and another resident not receiving proper treatment for pressure ulcers, which could lead to serious complications. Additionally, one resident reported feeling mistreated because staff did not respond to their call light in a timely manner, indicating issues with staff attentiveness. Overall, while the facility has strengths, families should consider both the positive aspects and the areas needing improvement.

Is Spring Lake Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Safe?

Do Nurses at Spring Lake Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Stick Around?
Staff turnover at SPRING LAKE SKILLED NURSING AND REHABILITATION is high. At 55%, the facility is 9 percentage points above the Louisiana average of 46%. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences.

How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Spring Lake Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Ever Fined?

Is Spring Lake Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation 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.
