With two nursing homes in the city, you only have a couple of choices in Jena, Louisiana. The small group of nursing homes here received a city grade of C, which is not a strong grade at the city level. This grade is not the end of the world, but it is well below average by national standards. We were pleased to find one quality nursing home in the city. This would be a good place to start your search.
While this city received a decent overall grade, its inspection grade is higher than the city's overall score. Due to some of its nursing homes receiving favorable inspection reports this year, Jena received one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B+. Our inspection scores are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. In addition, Jena also received strong long-term care rating where it earned a B in this area. In our final two categories, this place earned grades of C and D for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively. In spite of an otherwise decent profile, a nursing grade of this caliber may be an ominous sign for nursing staffing levels.
