The Woodlands Healthcare Center in Leesville, LA, is a for-profit senior care facility working alongside Priority Management, and it's got 152 certified beds for people who need different levels of help, with options like studios, semi-private rooms, and shared rooms, so folks can choose what fits best, and there's assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, respite care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and outpatient therapy, including special care for people living with dementia or more serious illness, offering both long-term and short-term support with individualized recovery plans and round-the-clock skilled nursing in what's meant to feel like a home-like setting, while families can arrange a tour to see the place, meet staff, and get a feel for daily life, which includes things like religious services, exercise classes, outings, and a beauty and barber shop on site, and residents can use comfortable living areas and a big dining room for community meals.
While The Woodlands holds a 3 out of 5 stars rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, making it the highest-rated senior community in Leesville with an average 5.9 out of 10 rating, it's also faced some inspection issues, including 13 reported deficiencies, such as mistakes in how medicines get stored and labeled, medication error rates over five percent, and at least one infection control violation in the June 2024 inspection that did not cause harm but could have, and another complaint investigation in January 2025 that resulted in one cited deficiency, so there are some areas where rules weren't fully followed, but nothing that caused actual harm at the time. The nurse turnover rate sits at 45.0%, which is a little better than the state average, but nurse staffing per resident per day is 2.91 hours, lower than the state average of 3.8, which means fewer nurse hours for each resident.
The Woodlands says it works to create a respectful work environment for employees while aiming to advance excellence in healthcare, and residents who have physical disabilities, serious illnesses, or memory problems can find care plans made for their needs, including hospice and palliative care if needed, and even if there have been some lapses in following infection control and pharmacy rules, the center stays focused on helping folks recover and stay comfortable, giving families an option in the area for ongoing care with a range of services under one roof.
