Nursing homes across Pulaski County, Arkansas, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Presbyterian Village runs a strong clinical operation on the staffing side. At 5.51 nurse hours per resident day, it's well above the national average, roughly 43% more hands-on time, and a 32.9% turnover rate against a 45.8% national figure suggests a workforce that mostly sticks around. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if you're planning visits or admissions on Saturdays and Sundays.
The tradeoff shows up in the quality measures, where the home scores 2 out of 5 despite a perfect health inspection rating and no deficiencies involving harm or abuse. Twelve deficiencies on record with none at the harm level means the problems are real but not dangerous. A recent April 2025 inspection keeps the picture current.
Nurse staffing at this state-run veterans home runs 5.06 hours per resident day, about 31% above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 61.7% against a national average of 45.8%, which means a lot of the people providing that care are new to the building. The record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm level but one tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in May 2025. Strong clinical quality marks and steady staffing numbers sit alongside a workforce that keeps changing.
The Green House Cottages of Poplar Grove runs on more nursing hours than most places, 5.26 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below what it manages on weekdays. That staffing edge comes with churn: 55.5% annual turnover, roughly ten points above the national figure, so the people delivering those hours keep changing. Its current record carries 24 deficiencies, none serious enough to trigger a harm or jeopardy citation, but one tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was in March 2026, so the picture is fresh. Quality measures score well; inspections and staffing land in the middle. A limited liability company operates it for profit.
Pleasant Valley runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 5% above the national average, and the quality measure score is strong. That staffing edge thins on weekends, though, when hours drop about 16% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 54.5% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The current record shows 15 deficiencies from an April 2025 inspection, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation is on the books. This is a for-profit LLC with 97 beds. Steady weekday coverage and good clinical measures, but turnover and that abuse finding are what a family should ask about.
Nursing And Rehabilitation Center At Good Shepherd runs about 4.09 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 6% above the national average, but weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday staffing. The bigger issue is turnover: 64.6% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your family member are relatively new. The current record shows 26 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was January 2026. Quality measures score well, though the staffing rating sits lower than the inspection and quality numbers suggest. It's a for-profit limited liability company, so worth asking who's actually on the floor on a Saturday.
Briarwood runs 120 beds in Little Rock under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.87 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. That's not a cushion, though: weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours aren't spread evenly across the week. Turnover at 38.9% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. Inspections in May 2025 turned up 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation is on the record. Quality measures score well; the inspection and staffing pictures are more mixed.
The Blossoms at North Little Rock runs 140 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits around 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 13% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 49%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so the faces around the halls change more often than average. Inspectors were last in on April 24, 2025, and the current record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The CMS quality measure score of 4/5 stands out against the staffing pattern.
The Springs of Barrow runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its quality measure score is strong. But look at turnover: 74.8% of staff left last year, against a national average near 46%. Weekend staffing also drops about 14% below weekday levels, which matters when families visit and needs don't pause for the calendar.
Eighteen deficiencies sit on the current record, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. The last inspection was in March 2026. For-profit corporate ownership. Steady weekday coverage, a churning workforce, and a recent clean-enough inspection, that's the real picture.
Hickory Heights runs a 110-bed for-profit operation in Little Rock, and the raw staffing number looks decent, 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 18% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That pattern shows up in the turnover figure too: 58.1% of staff leave each year against a national average near 46%, which means a lot of the people showing up on a Saturday may still be learning the building. The current inspection record carries 22 deficiencies with none tied to harm, abuse, or jeopardy, and the most recent survey was in August 2025.
Colonel Glenn Health and Rehab runs about 4.45 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 15% above the national average, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing cushion sits against a harder number: 57.6% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national rate, meaning the people providing that care keep changing. The current record carries 31 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $50,700 fine. Its last inspection was April 2025. Quality measures score well and staffing is solid on paper, but a one-star health inspection record with that many findings is the part a family should ask about directly.
The Lakes at Maumelle runs 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, but weekends drop about 21% below its own weekday level, so the coverage you see Monday isn't what shows up Saturday. The bigger problem sits in retention: 81.6% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means most of the people caring for residents are new, and that churn undercuts the value of the extra hours. Inspections in November 2025 turned up 21 deficiencies, two abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The quality measure rating is strong, but with that turnover and a for-profit corporate owner, staffing consistency is the thing to ask about directly.
A for-profit LLC runs this 132-bed home in North Little Rock, and its numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. More concerning is turnover: 60.5% of staff leave each year against a national average of 45.8%, which is a lot of churn for residents who need consistent caregivers. Its inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was in August 2025. The quality measures look strong; staffing and inspections don't.
Lakewood Health and Rehab runs 85 beds in North Little Rock under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing going for it: 26 deficiencies on file, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a fresh survey from September 2025. Direct-care hours land at 4.28 per resident day, about 11% above the national average, though weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level, a gap worth asking about. The number that gives me pause is turnover: nearly 70% of nursing staff leaving annually against a national average near 46%, which is how a building can pass inspections and still feel short-staffed to families.
Robinson Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 110 beds in North Little Rock under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits just above the national average at 3.94 hours per resident day. That margin is thin, though, and weekends drop about 6% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage gets leaner right when families tend to visit. The bigger number to sit with is turnover: 67.6% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. State inspectors last visited in January 2025 and logged 27 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse.
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.
The Blossoms at West Dixon runs a for-profit shop owned by a limited liability company with 127 certified beds in Little Rock, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average. Weekends dip even lower, about 22% below what the home staffs Monday through Friday, and 69% of its nurses turn over annually against a national rate near 46%. Its inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, with no citations at the harm level; the last state visit was January 2026. Quality measures score well, but that staffing picture is what families should weigh.
Sherwood Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% more than the national average of 3.86, and that's a real point in its favor. But weekend staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. Annual turnover sits at 60.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people providing that care are relatively new. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $24,431 in fines, with the last inspection in December 2025.
Woodland Hills Healthcare and Rehabilitation runs 120 certified beds in Jacksonville under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about another 10 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The current record shows 34 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was December 2024. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 1, 2, and 2 respectively, which tells you the federal surveyors and the payroll numbers are pointing the same direction.
The Springs of Pinnacle Mountain runs 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that average hides a problem: weekend staffing drops about 13% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 74%, far above the 45.8% national rate, and that churn shows up in the staffing and quality measure ratings, both 2 out of 5. The health inspection side is genuinely stronger at 4 out of 5, with a recent January 2026 inspection, but the record still carries 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related.
The Blossoms At Cumberland runs 120 beds in Little Rock under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing staff delivers 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday staffing, and annual turnover sits at 70.1% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses most families meet are likely to change often. The inspection record is the harder problem: 36 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with two fines totaling $37,403 and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating from CMS. The most recent inspection was January 2025, so that record is current.
