Overview

Autumn Leaves Nursing and Rehab Center in Winnfield, Louisiana, has a Trust Grade of C+, which indicates that it is slightly above average. It ranks #58 out of 264 nursing homes in Louisiana, placing it in the top half of facilities in the state, and #1 out of 2 in Winn County, meaning it is the best option locally. However, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 5 in 2024 to 7 in 2025.

While there are some strengths, these specific incidents highlight areas needing improvement for resident safety and care.
