Baton Rouge Senior AdvisorHow does Baton Rouge Senior Advisor source its facts?
Each regulatory statement names the section of LAC 48:I.Chapter 68 or the agency page it comes from; costs come from CareScout's 2025 Louisiana release; population from Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates; VA and Medicaid spousal figures from VA rate tables and CMS's 2026 bulletin; local agencies from the Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs directory.

What will Baton Rouge Senior Advisor not publish?
Figures we cannot trace to a primary source, facility details that are not in state or CMS data, reviews, testimonials and ratings of our own.
- No Baton Rouge-only cost median: CareScout publishes Louisiana-wide medians only.
- No memory care median: CareScout does not survey memory care.
- No assisted living ratings: neither Louisiana nor CMS rates ARCPs, and we will not make one up.
- No list of dementia programs: LDH receives the disclosures but does not publish them.
- No details lifted from marketing copy or operator websites.
How often is the directory refreshed?
Whenever the fetch script runs, the directory is rebuilt from LDH's monthly Licensed Providers Report (currently November 2026), LDH's location directory (retrieved November 6, 2026) and CMS's Provider Information dataset (data dated October 1, 2026).
Every listing page shows its source and data date, and sitemap dates change only when a page's content actually changes.
How does Baton Rouge Senior Advisor handle CMS star ratings?
We reproduce CMS's ratings exactly, labelled as CMS's with the data date, and only for nursing homes CMS certifies.
Comparisons on facility pages, such as staffing hours above or below the regional median, are simple arithmetic on the published numbers, and each says what it is compared with. ARCP levels and capacities appear as LDH types them; where LDH leaves a field empty, so do we.
How do I ask for a correction?
Email advisors@batonrougesenioradvisor.com with the page and the fix; providers may ask us to correct how their license data is displayed, but the data itself comes from LDH and CMS, so changes to it have to go through those agencies.
We fix errors quickly. Corrections to Louisiana rules or benefit amounts are checked against the rule or agency page first.
