Nursing Homes in Opelousas, Louisiana

With 38,987 people, Opelousas, Louisiana is a relatively small city. There are only 3 nursing homes in the city, which does not provide you with too many options. We awarded this small group of nursing homes a city grade of B, which is a very solid score. We found this city grade is considerably better than the city grade of C received by the nearby city of Pineville. Although that is not a terrible grade, Opelousas appears to be a slightly better option. Topping off a great profile, Opelousas ended up being the eleventh best city in Louisiana according to our rankings.

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, most of the nursing homes in Opelousas performed extremely well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for this category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. In addition, the city also performed spectacularly well in the area of long-term care, where we gave it an A- for that category. In the other categories we looked at, Opelousas received a C in our nursing category and a grade of D in short-term care. Obviously, short-term care proved to be this city's Achilles heel, but a single poor category grade shouldn't be over emphasized in your assessment.
