Clay Ferguson owns, and TXKNC, Inc operates Bailey Creek Health and Rehab, a 115-bed nursing facility on East 42nd Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. The building has been open for 31 years and currently cares for 74 residents, which puts its occupancy level at 64 percent. People stay here for an average of 158 days, a timeline showing that the daily floor routines split attention between short-term therapy recovery and permanent residential care.
The daily routine depends on a 24-hour nursing team that logs an average of 4 hours and 58 minutes of direct, hands-on attention per resident every day. Registered nurses, practical nurses, and assistants use these hours to run clinical treatments alongside specialized physical, occupational, and speech therapy routines. When visiting, keep in mind the neighborhood has a walk score of 65, making it moderately walkable so you can easily handle a few errands on foot, though most trips across town require a car.
State inspectors have previously noted compliance problems at this facility regarding care plan compliance, medication management, environmental maintenance, and infection control. Surveys also flagged issues with general dietary practices and resident privacy rules. Reviewing these older health department logs with the administrator is a direct way to see how the staff handles daily quality control monitoring.
Older adults looking into local care options can check in with the admissions coordinator to look over private room layouts with attached showers or to walk through the standard entry forms. The business office handles stay coverage through traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, or private out-of-pocket funds, and the staff can detail campus features like the enclosed outdoor courtyard with a gazebo, specialized outdoor therapy equipment, and regular group entertainment activities.
Bailey Creek Health and Rehab is legally operated by TXKNC, Inc., and administered by Sarah Gaither.
