Our read on Dermott City Nursing Home
Dermott City Nursing Home is city-owned and holds 70 certified beds in Chicot County. On its latest inspection, dated February 27, 2025, surveyors cited 27 deficiencies, two of which rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy to residents. There are two fines on record totaling $31,889. CMS gives the home one star out of five in all three categories, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, meaning it sits below the national average on each. No abuse-related deficiencies appear on the current record, which is worth noting. But a government-run home with that many citations, harm-level findings, and bottom-tier staffing marks is one to ask hard questions about before you consider it.
