Jefferson Parish straddles the river, with the East Bank behind the lakefront levees and the West Bank closer to the coastal marsh, so evacuation calls can differ between the two banks; federal rules require every certified nursing home to keep an emergency plan with evacuation and shelter-in-place procedures and an emergency power plan, so ask where residents went during the last evacuation.
What should families ask Marrero Healthcare Center before choosing it?
Use the CMS numbers to steer the tour: ask how Marrero Healthcare Center kept its latest inspection at 3 deficiencies, and request the full statement of deficiencies anyway.

- Ask what the $46,261 in CMS fines were for and whether the issue has been resolved.
- At about 78% occupancy, ask which units have openings and why.
- CMS records a resident council here; ask when it meets and whether families can attend.
