In the fourth quarter of 2023, Forest Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center stood out as the third largest nursing home in St. Tammany County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 172 beds available, 54 more than the average in St. Tammany County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 161.8 residents during that period.

Forest Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center boasted an overall rating of 5 from the CMS, which is higher than the average of 2.3 recorded for nursing homes in Louisiana.

During the quarter, Pontchartrain Health Care Center stood out as the largest nursing home in St. Tammany County, with 182 beds available. Greenbriar Community Care Center came in second place, with 174 beds available.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, Forest Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center achieved a zero-incident record for fines and penalties.

In total, there were seven for-profit nursing homes in St. Tammany County, Louisiana.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
