Our read on Bear Creek Healthcare Llc

Bear Creek Healthcare in De Queen runs 131 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits just barely above the national average, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That thin margin is worth noticing, because weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the days when families visit aren't the days with the most hands on deck. Turnover lands at 45.9%, essentially matching the national rate, which means roughly half the staff turns over in a year. The good news is real: a five-star health inspection record, no harm-level or abuse-related deficiencies among its eight, and a survey completed in March 2026. Quality measures score middle of the road at three stars.
