Is Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation of Lafourche a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

There are no official resident reviews of nursing homes: Medicare's Care Compare publishes inspections, staffing and quality data instead. Here is what that record shows for Legacy Nursing and Rehabilitation of Lafourche as of October 2026.

CMS rates it 2 out of 5 stars overall, below the Louisiana average of 2.6. Inspectors issued 8 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty, including $24,501 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 1 out of 5; for long-term residents, 3 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Online reviews from families and residents are on Google Maps and other sites; they reflect individual experiences and aren't checked by CMS. The full inspection reports, including what inspectors observed, are on Medicare Care Compare.
