and enforcement history.
6 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
The Woods runs 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday coverage, a real gap if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 51.2% against a national 45.8%, so the faces around your relative may change often. The bigger concern is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 36 deficiencies including one at the harm level, and a $15,940 fine, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Ask to see the plan of correction for that harm-level deficiency before deciding.
The Blossoms at Eureka Springs runs on thin staffing: 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 10 percent under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8 percent below its own weekday levels. The bigger red flag is turnover, 83.3 percent of staff leave annually, against a national average near 46 percent, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new. Its inspection history backs that up: a 1-out-of-5 star rating, 28 deficiencies on record including two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The 4-out-of-5 quality measure score suggests some clinical targets are being met, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025.
The Blossoms at Star City runs 3.27 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 6 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 41.5 percent, actually a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the staffing trouble looks more like thin hours than a churning workforce.
Its 23 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was January 30, 2025, so the record is current. A 2-out-of-5 quality measure rating and 2-out-of-5 staffing rating are the parts worth pressing on when you visit.
The Blossoms At Fort Smith runs 130 certified beds as a for-profit partnership, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.25 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average, with weekends about 13% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 57% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing care keep changing. Its inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the last visit was September 19, 2025. Quality measures look better (4/5), but that staffing star tells you how hard it is to cover the floor.
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.
Butterfield Trail Village runs a lot of nursing hours, 5.98 per resident day, roughly 55% above the national average, which is why its staffing rating holds at 4 stars. But the hours thin out on weekends, dropping about 15% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage varies depending on when you visit. The bigger concern is turnover: 67.8% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national rate, and that churn can undercut even generous staffing. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents at risk of harm and one tied to abuse, plus a $58,006 fine. The last full inspection was December 2025.
Monette Manor runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average of 3.86, but that staffing thins on weekends, dropping roughly 10% below its own weekday level. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 19 deficiencies, one of them abuse-related, plus six fines totaling $24,309 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. Quality measures also sit at 1 out of 5. The last inspection was April 2026. So you have a for-profit LLC with above-average overall staffing but a steady pattern of cited problems and weak marks on both inspections and resident outcomes. Families should ask specifically what that abuse citation involved and how weekend coverage is handled.
Nightingale At Crossett runs 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 18% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 44.6%, a hair under the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the problem here, daily coverage is. The inspection record looks solid on paper: no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, one fine of $12,353, and a survey as recent as April 2026. But 17 total deficiencies and a one-star quality measure rating pull against that four-star inspection score, which is why the overall picture lands at a C.
Gosnell Health and Rehab runs 70 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers show a home that's roughly middle-of-the-road on paper with some real soft spots underneath. Nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 20% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday looks different from a Tuesday. Annual turnover of 53% tops the national 45.8% mark, meaning aides and nurses cycle through fairly often. The current inspection record carries 11 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $13,627 fine. Nothing here suggests abuse, but the staffing pattern and turnover are worth asking about directly.
Hiram Shaddox Health and Rehab runs 140 certified beds in Mountain Home, and the numbers point in two directions at once. Inspections look solid, a recent May 2025 survey, 17 deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and quality measures hold up well. Staffing is the weak spot. At 3.08 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 20 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 22 percent below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 57.8 percent runs well above the 45.8 percent national figure.
Ridgecrest runs 135 beds in Jonesboro under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits right at the edge of average: 3.94 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. That thin margin matters less than what happens on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 17% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover of 67.1% is the bigger signal, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are frequently new. Inspections in December 2025 turned up 43 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which is a real distinction. The health inspection and staffing ratings both land at 2 out of 5, while quality measures reach 3.
Countryside Health & Rehab Of Newton County runs 70 certified beds in Jasper under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.78 hours per resident day, roughly 24% above the national average. That's the strongest thing in its file. Weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets Saturday may look thinner than what happens Tuesday.
The tradeoff shows up in inspections and quality measures, both rated 2 out of 5. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated November 15, 2024. Nothing here suggests danger. It suggests a home that staffs well but hasn't cleared its paperwork or outcomes as cleanly as its hours would predict.
Bradford House runs 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 57% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team turned over in a year. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one abuse-related. A 4/5 quality measure score and a May 2025 inspection suggest care processes and oversight are being tracked, though a for-profit LLC structure with 97 beds and 3/5 on both inspection and staffing stars tells you where the pressure points are.
Ashley Rehabilitation in Rogers runs 100 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you tour. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, but weekends drop about 19% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 71% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The current record carries 33 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus a $65,473 fine. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of persistent problems.
St Elizabeth's Place runs about 110 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers show a home stretched thinner than most. Nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends drop another 10% below what the home itself provides on weekdays, so coverage is at its lightest exactly when families tend to visit.
The inspection record is heavy: 25 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus one tied to abuse, and $21,828 in fines. Staff turnover of 56.8% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are cycling through. All three CMS ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at two out of five stars.
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 Blossoms at Berryville runs a 114-bed for-profit operation, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble shows. At 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 70.7% against a 45.8% national rate means aides and nurses are cycling through constantly, which makes consistent care hard. The health inspection record carries 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus two fines totaling $22,880. Quality measures score well, but that sits on top of a thin, churning staff and a recent, problem-heavy inspection.
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.
White River Healthcare in Calico Rock runs 70 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the federal stars tell a fairly consistent story: staffing sits at 1 out of 5, quality measures also at 1, and health inspections at 2. The current record shows 14 deficiencies, one of them abuse-related, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. State surveyors were last in the building on November 21, 2024, so that inspection is still recent rather than a stale snapshot. The staffing number is the one that matters most day to day, it reflects how many aides and nurses are actually present for residents, and at this level it tends to shape everything else.
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.
