What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5

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 (16)

CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

Date	Severity	What the facility was cited for
May 14, 2026	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not keep residents free from significant medication errors — such as giving the wrong drug, the wrong dose, or missing a critical medication. · from a complaint
Apr 24, 2025	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not get its food from approved, safe sources, or did not store, prepare, and serve food according to professional food safety standards.
Apr 24, 2025	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not have or follow an effective program to prevent and control infections — such as proper hand washing, cleaning, and isolation practices. This is the most commonly cited deficiency nationwide.

Mar 28, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not develop a resident's complete plan of care within 7 days of the full assessment, or the plan wasn't prepared, reviewed, and updated by a team of health professionals as required.
Mar 28, 2024	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, including safe support for residents' daily living needs. · from a complaint

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

Measure	This facility	Arkansas avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	4.39	4.71	3.95	bottom 38% in Arkansas; top 26% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.47	0.48	0.69	top 42% in Arkansas; bottom 34% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	3.80	4.04	3.50	bottom 38% in Arkansas; top 29% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.25	0.28	0.48	top 50% in Arkansas; bottom 22% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	49.0	49.5	45.8	bottom 46% in Arkansas; bottom 39% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	33.3	44.8	42.9	top 30% in Arkansas; top 33% 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 3.43, RN 0.37, weekend 2.98. Staffing rating: 4/5.

Self-reported quality measures

Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.

Quality measures rating: 4/5 · long-stay residents: 4/5 · short-stay residents: 3/5
