Overview of Evergreen Living Center at Stagecoach
Evergreen Living Center at Stagecoach is a 116-bed skilled nursing facility in Bryant, Saline County, Arkansas, off Highway 5 North providing skilled nursing, long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, and memory care. It is privately owned and operated by Orenthia Steverson and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
CMS rates the facility 4 stars overall — 27% above the Arkansas average — driven largely by a strong Health Inspection score that is 38.9% above the state benchmark. Quality Measures are 8.1% above average as well. Staffing is the outlier: the CMS staffing rating falls 38.5% below the Arkansas average, and total nursing hours of 4 hours and 37 minutes per resident per day run slightly under the state figure of 4 hours and 45 minutes. Families should weigh that gap against the strong inspection and quality performance.
The inspection record shows meaningful variation. The October 2022 survey cited 8 deficiencies spanning wound care, resident hygiene, improper use of physical restraints, unsafe meal temperatures, and chemicals left accessible in the secured unit. The January 2024 routine survey produced the highest single-visit count — 10 deficiencies — across infection control, food preparation and storage, medication room access, incomplete care plans, and inadequate PPE.
Both standard inspections in January 2025 account for 3 deficiencies combined: a routine survey citing care planning and staffing-board posting failures, and a complaint investigation tied to a fractured femur after a CNA performed a mechanical lift transfer alone despite the care plan requiring two staff members. The facility averages 7 deficiencies per year against an Arkansas average of 5.2 — 35% above the state pace.
Amenities include a therapy gym, outdoor courtyard, salon services, and communal dining. The Therapy Gym supports the facility’s short-term rehab track. Memory care programming and secured living services round out the care continuum. The occupancy rate is 84%, well above Arkansas’s 71.3% average — a signal of sustained demand.
Families who are evaluating Evergreen Living Center should ask directly about the January 2024 and 2025 findings and what changes were made before making a placement decision.
Crestpark Stuttgart, LLC is a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Stuttgart, Arkansas, serving residents needing long-term nursing home care, short-term rehabilitation, hospice, and memory care. The facility is privately owned and operated by Crestpark Stuttgart, LLC, and accepts both Medicaid and Medicare.
CMS rates the facility 4 stars overall, driven largely by staffing and quality measures performance. Nurse staffing averages 5 hours and 52 minutes per resident per day — about 23% above the Arkansas average of 4 hours and 45 minutes — placing Crestpark Stuttgart 16th out of 182 skilled nursing facilities statewide. That staffing depth is a genuine differentiator in a rural market.
The inspection record is more concerning. The facility logs 10.7 deficiency citations per year over the period covered, roughly double the Arkansas average of 5.2. A January 2024 complaint investigation identified 13 deficiencies, including two immediate jeopardy findings — one for the involuntary seclusion of a resident and one for inadequate fall prevention — and a substantiated failure to report abuse to the CNA registry. Corrective actions included staff terminations and retraining. The 2025 routine inspection recorded a single citation related to hand hygiene practices during resident feeding, a notable improvement over prior cycles.
The facility’s occupancy rate is 39%, well below the Arkansas average of 71.3%, which means current availability is not a concern for families in Arkansas County.
Clinical services include speech, occupational, and physical rehabilitation alongside hospice and respite care, serving the full continuum from post-acute recovery to end-of-life needs. The facility also offers on-site dental, vision, podiatry, and hearing services.
Crestpark Stuttgart is best suited for residents in Arkansas County who require skilled nursing or post-acute rehabilitation, particularly those who benefit from above-average staffing ratios and need access to hospice or specialty ancillary services. However, families should review the facility’s prior Immediate Jeopardy findings and inspection history before making a placement decision.
Chapel Ridge Health and Rehab is an 84-bed nursing home in Fort Smith, Arkansas, offering long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, respite care, and memory care. The facility is privately owned and operated by Jennifer Williams and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Chapel Ridge holds a 4-star CMS overall rating, 27% above the Arkansas average. Quality Measures are the strongest sub-category — 35.1% above the state benchmark — reflecting performance on clinical outcomes including hospital readmissions and mobility improvement. Nurse staffing averages 5 hours and 31 minutes per resident per day, ranking 23rd out of 182 Arkansas SNFs, though that figure is 7.7% below the state average.
Across five inspections over roughly four years, the facility recorded 21 deficiencies at a rate of 5.3 per year, just 2% above the Arkansas average of 5.2. Two complaint investigations in early 2023 were substantiated: one involving a wheelchair fall with injury and another involving a CNA performing a mechanical-lift transfer alone, causing a fall and a head laceration that required hospital treatment. No fines or Immediate Jeopardy findings appear in the record.
The facility’s occupancy rate is 96% — well above the Arkansas average of 71.3% — signaling consistent demand. Amenities include scenic sunrooms, a spa room, a beauty shop, and an on-site medical specialist.
Chapel Ridge’s rehabilitation services, memory care capacity, and high long-term occupancy make it best suited for residents seeking either post-acute recovery or ongoing skilled nursing care in Sebastian County.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Arkansas
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Arkansas?
Assisted living in Arkansas supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Arkansas?
Assisted living in Arkansas is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Arkansas Medicaid cover assisted living?
Arkansas Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Arkansas) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 55 assisted living facilities in Arkansas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Arkansas?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Arkansas, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Arkansas?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
