All 5 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Conway,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Salem Place runs about 4.62 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 35.6% against a national 45.8%, that combination of more hands and fewer people leaving matters more than any single rating. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. The 23 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the last inspection was in January 2026, so the record is both recent and relatively clean. Corporate for-profit ownership out of Faulkner County, 103 beds.
Superior Health & Rehab in Conway runs a tight ship on care quality, perfect five-star marks on health inspections and quality measures, with ten deficiencies on record that stop short of harm or jeopardy. Staffing is where the picture softens. At 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, the home sits about 4% under the national figure, and weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below its own weekday pace. Annual turnover of 54.4% runs well above the 45.8% national average, which means familiar faces cycle through faster than most families would like. The state surveyor's last visit was August 2025, so the inspection record is current. Read the numbers honestly: strong clinical marks, thinner staffing on weekends, and a workforce that churns more than average.
Conway Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center sits just above the national average for nurse staffing, at 3.91 hours per resident day, but that margin is thin and weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is the bigger issue: 60.7% annually, well above the 45.8% national average, meaning the people caring for residents are cycling through fast. The 23 deficiencies on record include one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $25,483 fine attached. A 5/5 quality measure rating and a recent August 2025 inspection are real positives, but the inspection history and turnover numbers are what families should weigh most heavily here.
Heritage Living Center runs 140 beds in Conway under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits a bit thin, 3.60 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly another 10% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is 38.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in November 2025. Quality measures score well; the inspection and staffing picture is more mixed.
The Blossoms at Conway runs on 3.30 nurse hours per resident per day, about 14 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 71.3 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning most of the people caring for your relative this year likely won't be there next year, and a one-star health inspection record with 36 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, backs that up. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the findings are current, not stale. Corporate ownership, one fine of $8,021, and no abuse citations round out the picture.
