Overview of Colonel Glenn Health and Rehab

Sheri McGraw owns and Shari McGraw administers Colonel Glenn Health and Rehab, a 120-bed skilled nursing community located on David O. Dodd Road in Little Rock, Arkansas. Right now, the building fills about 90 percent of its beds, meaning it stays mostly full but leaves occasional spots open for new admissions. Residents typically remain at the facility for about 190 days on average, a timeframe showing the floor staff manages a steady blend of short-term rehabilitation therapies and extended long-term nursing stays.

A 24-hour medical team drives the everyday care schedule, providing an average of 4 hours and 48 minutes of direct, hands-on attention per resident each day. Registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides use this shift time to run basic clinical treatments, physical rehabilitation programs, and temporary respite care for visiting families. If you plan to drop by, keep in mind that this suburban neighborhood is entirely car-dependent, so visitors and families will need a vehicle for any errands outside the property.

State health surveys have previously flagged compliance issues here concerning basic infection control protocols, fall prevention practices, medication notification processes, and catheter care routines. Looking over these past regulatory survey records with the administrative team will help you see exactly how the current staff tracks daily quality control and implements medical safety corrections.

Prospective residents can call the intake department to check on current room vacancies, ask about standard application timelines, or set up payment plans using traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, and private funds. The office staff can also walk you through available daily setups, including wireless internet access, television hookups, housekeeping services, and a beauty salon.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Arkansas

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Arkansas Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 205 nursing homes in Arkansas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
