Hillcrest Home

Staff turnover

Hillcrest Home runs on 5.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more staffing than the national average, and its weekend coverage only slips about 16% below weekday levels, a gap that's smaller than what many homes show. The inspection record backs that up: six deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a survey completed in May 2025. Staff turnover sits at 42.8%, slightly better than the national 45.8%. For a 103-bed nonprofit in Harrison, the numbers point to a home that stays adequately covered and keeps its regulatory problems minor.

Ozark Health runs a nonprofit home in Clinton with 118 certified beds, and the numbers behind it hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 4.27 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and the 31.9% turnover rate is well below the 45.8% national figure, a sign people stay. Weekend staffing drops roughly 18% from weekday levels, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The home has 13 deficiencies on its current record, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Its last inspection was April 17, 2025, and it earned 4 out of 5 stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Presbyterian Village, Inc

Little Rock, AR · Pulaski County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
33%

0

Presbyterian Village runs a strong clinical operation on the staffing side. At 5.51 nurse hours per resident day, it's well above the national average, roughly 43% more hands-on time, and a 32.9% turnover rate against a 45.8% national figure suggests a workforce that mostly sticks around. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if you're planning visits or admissions on Saturdays and Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in the quality measures, where the home scores 2 out of 5 despite a perfect health inspection rating and no deficiencies involving harm or abuse. Twelve deficiencies on record with none at the harm level means the problems are real but not dangerous. A recent April 2025 inspection keeps the picture current.

Fort Smith, AR · Sebastian County

Methodist Health And Rehab runs a nonprofit home in Fort Smith with 145 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.89 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage drops about 23% below its own weekday level, so the weekday numbers aren't the whole story. Staff turnover lands at 47.1%, just above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the workforce turns over in a year. The home carries 24 deficiencies on its current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Its last inspection was October 2024. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS; health inspections earned 3.

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Cave City Nursing Home runs 4.99 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up where it counts: a clean health inspection record with 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, from a visit in July 2025. The nonprofit corporate owner doesn't have to answer to shareholders, which tends to show up in staffing and inspection outcomes alike. The catch is weekends, when hours drop about 22% below the home's own weekday level, a resident's Saturday care may look thinner than a Tuesday's. If your family member needs consistent help with daily tasks, ask how weekend coverage is actually scheduled.

Wood-Lawn Heights

Batesville, AR · Independence County

CMS 4/5140 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
4.89 /day
Staff turnover
31%
Serious cites
0

Wood-Lawn Heights runs on strong staffing: 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, and the 5/5 staffing rating reflects that. Turnover sits at 30.8% against a national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The concerning part is quality measures, where the home scores 1/5. Thirteen deficiencies are on record, two at harm or jeopardy level, though none are abuse-related, and fines total $12,695. The most recent inspection was August 2025. As a nonprofit, it isn't answering to shareholders, but ask directly what's behind those two serious deficiencies and the low quality scores.

Lawrence Hall Health & Rehabilitation

Walnut Ridge, AR · Lawrence County

CMS 3/5110 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
4.78 /day
Staff turnover
47%
Serious cites
0

Lawrence Hall runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.78 per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and that's where its strengths sit. Weekends thin out, though, running about 22% below the home's own weekday coverage, so a Saturday or Sunday shift won't look like a Tuesday. The 16 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged as harm or jeopardy and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection closed in December 2024. Staff turnover lands at 47.3%, just above the national figure, and the quality measure rating sits at 2 out of 5, worth asking about, since it tracks how residents are actually doing, not just how many hands are on the floor.

Trinity Village Medical Center

Pine Bluff, AR · Jefferson County

CMS 3/594 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
4.18 /day
Staff turnover
46%
Serious cites
0

Trinity Village Medical Center runs a fairly typical nonprofit operation in Pine Bluff: 94 beds, no abuse citations, and nothing on its record that rose to the level of actual harm. Its 31 deficiencies are mostly the paperwork-and-protocol kind that inspectors write up at plenty of homes. Nurse staffing sits at 4.18 hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 46.1%, basically the national rate, so don't expect unusual continuity. Inspectors were last in this July, and the quality measure score of 2 out of 5 is the weakest number here.

Greene Acres Nursing Home

Paragould, AR · Greene County

CMS 4/5143 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.78 /day
Staff turnover
40%
Serious cites
0

Greene Acres runs 143 beds as a nonprofit, and its last inspection was in January 2026, recent enough that the record reflects how the place operates now. The eight deficiencies on file are all lower-level; none involved harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related appears. Staffing sits just under the national average, about 2% below, but weekends dip roughly 21% below the home's own weekday coverage, which is where families tend to notice a difference. Turnover at 40% is better than the 45.8% national figure. The weaker spot in the federal stars is quality measures, where it scores 2 of 5, even as inspections and staffing each earn 4.

Dewitt Nursing Home

De Witt, AR · Arkansas County

CMS 3/560 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
n/a
Serious cites
0

Dewitt Nursing Home runs 60 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are the bigger concern: staffing drops about 19% below the home's own weekday level, which is when families often notice less attention. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the last inspection was recent, in February 2026. CMS rates staffing and quality measures at 2 out of 5 stars each, with inspections at 3. If you're considering this home, ask specifically how weekend coverage is handled and what that abuse-related deficiency involved.
