St Christina Nursing And Rehabilitation Center is a large for-profit nursing home in Pineville, Louisiana, and it mainly provides skilled nursing and rehabilitation care. The facility has 140 beds, but as of June 2025 about 34 beds are available, and current occupancy stands around 82 percent. Staff includes a medical director, doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dieticians, feeding assistants, pharmacists, and social workers, along with registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, and therapy staff who focus on patient care. Residents can get a wide range of medical services here, such as speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, wound care, dentistry, podiatry, pain management, pharmacy, laboratory, X-ray, nutritional counseling, and radiation therapy, and there are aides for therapy as well. The center also has hospice, respite care, inpatient rehab, and personal care services, and they help with daily living needs like bathing, dressing, and moving from one place to another, while medication management, home making service, transportation (including to medical appointments), and nutritional counseling are offered too.
For meals, St Christina has a community dining hall with restaurant-style service, allergy-sensitive options, chef-prepared food available all day, and private rooms come with their own bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, phones, air conditioning, and high-speed internet. The grounds have walking paths and gardens, and there are community amenities like emergency alert and 24-hour call systems, housekeeping, laundry, parking, move-in help, and ongoing supervision. Residents can use an arts room, game room, library, and fitness center, plus daily scheduled activities, events run by the community, and some that are led by residents. Religious and recreational therapy are available as well, and there's a Family Council instead of a Resident Council to address concerns and improve care quality.
The nursing home does not operate as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), and it's not listed as having special names or unique programs beyond the "Legacy Standard" services. St Christina accepts Medicare and Medicaid for financial support. In terms of care quality, the long-term care grade as of October 2023 was B-minus, but short-term care quality has ranged from F to C in recent times. The home has been cited for abuse in the last twelve months, which is a matter of public record. With 12 to 16 hour nursing shifts and 24-hour care supervision, St Christina focuses heavily on skilled nursing support, but it does not seem to offer other specific types of care services outside of what's listed. There is no information about high-end extras or unique programs. The center's amenities and services cover most daily needs, though, and the staff provides personal care, health services, and support for senior residents in a straightforward and practical setting.
