What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 4/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
All citations in the current public record (17)
CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 5.40 | 4.71 | 3.95 | top 15% in Arkansas; top 8% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.36 | 0.48 | 0.69 | bottom 24% in Arkansas; bottom 16% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.62 | 4.04 | 3.50 | top 16% in Arkansas; top 10% in the U.S. |

| RN turnover (%) | 42.9 | 44.8 | 42.9 | top 45% in Arkansas; bottom 49% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 4.84, RN 0.32, weekend 4.14. Staffing rating: 3/5.
