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

Health inspection rating: ★★★★★5/5 · 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 (10)

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
Apr 9, 2026	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not accurately assess a resident's health and needs. Assessments are the foundation for all the care a resident receives.
Apr 9, 2026	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Oct 10, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not develop or follow a complete care plan for each resident — the written roadmap covering all of a resident's needs, with measurable goals and timelines.
Oct 10, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not make sure its nurse aides were properly trained — aides working more than 4 months must be trained and competent, and newer aides must be enrolled in training.
Oct 10, 2024	C · Minimal risk, facility-wide	The facility did not provide a neutral and fair arbitration process. Arbitration is a way of settling disputes outside of court, and if it's used, the facility must agree with the resident on a neutral arbitrator and a convenient location.
Aug 18, 2023	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not provide safe and appropriate respiratory care — such as oxygen, breathing treatments, or care for residents on breathing equipment — for residents who needed it.
Aug 18, 2023	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.
Aug 18, 2023	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not treat residents with dignity and respect, or did not honor their rights to make their own decisions and communicate freely. This is one of the most fundamental resident rights.
Aug 18, 2023	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not keep residents' personal and medical information private and confidential.
Aug 18, 2023	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not provide the help residents need with basic daily activities — like bathing, dressing, eating, and using the bathroom — for residents who cannot do these things on their own.

Inspection trend by year

Citations from standard inspections decreased between the last two inspection cycles (3 → 2).

Year	Citations	Worst severity that year
2023	5	E
2024	3	D

Counts reflect the current CMS public record (~3 inspection cycles plus complaint investigations); years with no surveys show no row. Inspection frequency varies, so compare severity as well as counts.

Fines and enforcement (last 3 years)

4 fines totaling $16,467.

Date	Type	Amount / length
Feb 20, 2024	Fine	$3,418

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)	5.10	4.71	3.95	top 21% in Arkansas; top 12% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.36	0.48	0.69	bottom 26% in Arkansas; bottom 17% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	4.78	4.04	3.50	top 14% in Arkansas; top 8% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.29	0.28	0.48	top 38% in Arkansas; bottom 31% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	30.0	49.5	45.8	top 5% in Arkansas; top 14% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	20.0	44.8	42.9	top 14% in Arkansas; top 13% 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 0.34, weekend 4.52. 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: 1/5 · long-stay residents: 2/5 · short-stay residents: 1/5
