Nursing homes across Crawford County, Arkansas, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Valley Springs runs on tighter nurse staffing than most homes nationally, about 3.71 hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends dip roughly 12% below what the building itself manages on weekdays. The tradeoff is stability: turnover sits at 30.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters when you're asking whether the same aides will know your mother in six months. The 26 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level, came with a January 2025 inspection, so the picture is recent. A for-profit LLC runs the place, and its quality measure scores are strong even where the inspection record isn't spotless.
Van Buren Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 140 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing comes in at 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 17% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 47.9%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated May 2026. A five-star health inspection rating carries real weight here, though the middle-of-the-road quality and staffing marks suggest the clinical picture isn't quite as strong as the survey history alone implies.
The Blossoms at Van Buren runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes in the country, about 3.35 nurse hours per resident each day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get leaner still, with staffing roughly 18 percent below its own weekday pace. That strain shows in the workforce itself: 63.3 percent of staff turned over in the past year, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines and catch changes early. Its 48 recorded deficiencies include none flagged as causing harm or tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the record is current. The for-profit limited liability company behind it posts CMS inspection and staffing ratings of one and two stars out of five.
Alma Nursing And Rehab runs a 105-bed for-profit home in Crawford County, and the staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average of 3.86. But that margin narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 16% below the home's own weekday level. The bigger concern is what inspectors found, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 10 deficiencies on record including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $26,195 fine. Annual turnover of 50.5% tops the national 45.8%, so the people providing that above-average care keep changing. Weighted against strong quality and staffing marks, that inspection record is what holds this home back.
