Our read on Heritage Square Healthcare Center
Heritage Square runs 86 certified beds in Blytheville under for-profit limited liability ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest help tends to arrive when families visit. Staff turnover is 47.9%, a couple points above the national rate. Inspectors were last in on May 8, 2025, and the record shows 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations and one fine of $7,913. The 4-star inspection rating reads better than the 2-star quality measures and 3-star staffing, which is where the tension in this home's record sits.
