The care list is broad: nursing home services alongside hospice, memory care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing, all under one roof. The Walk Score sits at 31, somewhat walkable but still mostly a car-dependent stretch of Arkansas.

Registered nurses put in about 14 minutes per resident daily. LPNs add another 14 minutes. Nurse aides carry the bulk of hands-on care at roughly two hours and 39 minutes. Residents get about four hours and 48 minutes of total nursing time each day.

Lakeside accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, and its resident population splits between two groups: people passing through for short-term rehab, and people settling in for longer-term nursing care. Most new residents arrive as private-pay admissions, typically staying two to three months. Rehabilitation services, respite care, and a dedicated short-term rehab track round out what’s offered, backed by staffing around the clock.

On inspections, two themes have come up consistently: medication management and environmental and hazardous-materials safety. Lakeside, then, is established, with 85 beds in Lake City, built around two overlapping tracks: short-term recovery and longer-term skilled nursing care, with a staffing structure weighted heavily toward direct nurse aide support.

The facility’s operational alignment with Rosehaven Homes, Inc. indicates membership in a multi-location residential care network, potentially enabling care coordination or transfer protocols across affiliated locations.

Overview of The Springs of Jonesboro Health & Rehabilitation

At 136 beds, The Springs of Jonesboro Health & Rehabilitation is a sizable operation for Jonesboro, Arkansas, and its care list reflects that scale. Nursing home care sits alongside hospice, memory care, palliative care, and skilled nursing, all under one roof at 1705 Latourette Dr.

Getting there means driving. The Walk Score comes in at 15, deep in car-dependent range.

Registered nurses put in about 26 minutes per resident a day. LPNs add another 52 minutes. Nurse aides, who handle the bulk of direct hands-on care, contribute roughly two hours and 39 minutes. Add it up and residents get about four hours and 19 minutes of total nursing time daily. That’s a real number, not a marketing phrase, and it’s the kind of figure that actually tells you something about day-to-day staffing.

Occupancy runs at 77.2%, with around 115 residents currently living there, and the average stay lasts 93 days. That average hides two very different populations, though. The facility itself describes its resident mix as split between short-term rehab and longer-term care, and the payment data backs that up: private pay admissions, the largest single group, typically stay just one to two months, while Medicaid admissions run closer to seven months on average. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted here, so families have options regardless of how they’re covering costs.

Residents also have a standing Active Resident Council, a group that meets to discuss policy, care quality, and daily life at the facility. Between the size, the staffing breakdown, and the resident mix, The Springs of Jonesboro looks like a facility built to handle both ends of the nursing home spectrum: people passing through for rehab, and people settling in for long-term care.
