What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

Our read on The Springs Of Chenal

The Springs of Chenal is a for-profit LLC home in Little Rock with 70 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, and nothing abuse-related on the books. The staffing picture is more mixed. Total nurse hours sit at 4.35 per resident day, about 13% above the national average, which sounds good until you see that weekends run roughly 20% below weekdays and annual turnover hits 80.8% against a national average of 45.8%. That kind of churn means aides you meet in December may not be there in June. Inspections were recent, and the quality measures hold up.
