About Ferncrest Manor Living Center

Ferncrest Manor Living Center is a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility in New Orleans, Louisiana, operating under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 195214. 200-bed facility. For Profit - Limited Liability Company. Independent (not part of a multi-facility chain). The facility is required to comply with the Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities at 42 CFR Part 483.

Ferncrest Manor Living Center has held its Medicare/Medicaid certification for approximately 39 years (certification date on file: 1987-04-08). Long-tenured facilities (15+ years) often have established F-tag remediation playbooks and a deeper standard-survey trail; newly-certified facilities (under 3 years) are subject to a different initial survey cadence under 42 CFR 488.308.

Local market context (Orleans County): Ferncrest Manor Living Center operates in Orleans County alongside 6 other Medicare-certified SNFs in our Louisiana cohort sample. Multi-facility counties create direct cohort comparison pressure — hospital discharge planners typically run side-by-side Care Compare lookups before placement decisions.

CMS Five-Star Quality Ratings

CMS publishes Five-Star ratings for nursing homes monthly, drawn from the most recent three years of standard surveys, complaint surveys, and Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions.

Long-Stay vs Short-Stay Quality Measures

Long-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2 of 5). Long-stay measures cover residents in the facility 100+ days and include indicators like residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, residents whose ability to move independently worsened, and residents with a urinary tract infection.

Differentiating long-stay from short-stay QMs matters for placement decisions — a facility with strong short-stay QMs may still underperform on long-stay metrics, and vice versa.

Compliance Red Flags

Ferncrest Manor Living Center has none of the four CMS-published red-flag indicators active at the most recent publish: not on the Special Focus Facility list, no Abuse Icon on Care Compare, no overdue inspection flag, and no recent change-of-ownership flag. Absence of these flags does not mean the facility is deficiency-free — see the survey history below.

Survey History and Deficiencies

Recent health deficiencies cited at last standard survey: 15. National average for facilities of this size is approximately 8 deficiencies per cycle. In its most recent reporting cycle, Ferncrest Manor Living Center received 3 CMS fines totaling $402,870. Last documented standard health survey: 2025-05-29. CMS conducts standard surveys at most every 15 months for SNFs, with substandard-quality findings triggering more frequent revisits.

Infection Control and Deficiency Weighting

CMS health survey weighted score: 135.75. The weighted score multiplies deficiency severity (A-L) by scope (isolated, pattern, widespread); higher weighted scores translate directly into the Health Inspection star rating tier breakpoints CMS publishes monthly.

CMS Enforcement Actions

Payment denials for new admissions in the most recent CMS reporting window: 1. Denial-of-payment-for-new-admissions (DPNA) is one of the enforcement remedies CMS uses under 42 CFR 488.417. It is typically imposed when a facility has been cited at scope and severity levels of F or higher and fails to substantially comply by the date specified in the certification notice.

Total enforcement penalties assessed in the most recent reporting window: $4. This figure aggregates Civil Money Penalties (CMPs), DPNA-equivalent revenue impacts, and other monetary remedies under 42 CFR Part 488 Subpart F.

Staffing Detail

At today's staffing levels, Ferncrest Manor Living Center would not meet the cadre-specific minimums scheduled to take effect on the May 2027 timeline under 89 FR 40876: RN HPRD is 0.179 vs the 0.55 floor, a 0.37-hour gap and nurse-aide HPRD is 1.576 vs the 2.45 floor, a 0.87-hour gap. Closing this gap typically requires either net new hires at the specific cadre, shifted scheduling that reallocates existing FTEs to direct-care hours, or a hardship exemption application under 42 CFR 483.35.

Total nurse staffing: 2.382 hours per resident day (HPRD), which is 1.10 hours below the 3.48 total HPRD floor scheduled to take effect for non-rural facilities by May 2027 (89 FR 40876, May 2024); facilities projected to remain below the floor at the effective date must either close the gap, qualify for a hardship exemption, or face citation under 42 CFR 483.35.

Staffing mix: RN 0.179 HPRD, LPN 0.627 HPRD, CNA 1.576 HPRD. The same CMS final rule also phases in cadre-specific minimums of 0.55 RN HPRD and 2.45 nurse aide HPRD on the 2027 timeline; RN-specific shortfalls have historically been the most common single-facility staffing deficiency at standard surveys.

Weekend RN staffing: 0.056 HPRD. Weekend RN coverage is a separately reported CMS measure; facilities with low weekend RN HPRD frequently see resident-acuity-driven adverse events spike on the weekend shift.

Total nurse staff turnover: 43.4% annualized — high (typical of facilities with chronic staffing pressure).

RN-specific turnover: 11.1% annualized. RN turnover above 50% is the single strongest correlate with QM rating decline in CMS's own internal analyses.

Chain Context and Facility Type

Ferncrest Manor Living Center is independently operated (not part of a multi-facility chain). Independent SNFs typically rely on internal compliance staff or contracted consultants rather than corporate-level survey-prep teams; this affects both how quickly Plans of Correction are produced and how F-tag remediation is documented across multiple shifts.

Provider type designation: Medicare And Medicaid.

The facility is classified by CMS as urban (within a metropolitan statistical area). Urban SNFs typically face higher acuity post-acute admissions, more competitive labor markets, and stricter local-jurisdiction infection control requirements layered on top of federal CoPs.

How Ferncrest Manor Living Center Compares to Peers in Louisiana

Peer comparisons use a same-state cohort of 200 Medicare-certified SNFs, pulled live from CMS Provider Data. The cohort excludes terminated and surrendered certifications.
